Summer is here, It's 100 degrees and I'm still knitting.

Usually by now I would be doing something else besides Knitting. Expecially when it is this hot outside. I am so addicted to knitting that I haven't put it down even though it is so hot outside. I haven't been feeling too well... so I stay inside more than usual and knitting makes me feel better. There is just something so soothing about knitting. I loose myself in it. Knitting has been there for me more and more lately. I don't know what I would do without it. I am making myself a comfort blanket right now. It is a wonderful lavender purple color and I am using the Gull lace pattern. I think that this will be my favorite possession when I am finished with it. I think it is probably the biggest project I have started yet but since it is a lace pattern it is going pretty quickly. I hope it turns out as good and I think it will.

Snow, Snow, Snow, Knit, Knit, Knit. :)

We have had more snow so far than I have seen in a long time. When it is snowing and cold outside I have to admit that my favorite place in the world is my favorite chair knitting something warm. Christmas is over and Santa was so good to me. He brought me the HiyaHiya needle sets, 2 of them the small ones and the large ones. I was so super excited, Thank you Santa. I also got a yarn baller. I am so blessed.

What I am working on: My Sweet 5 year old Nephew saw me finishing up a baby blanket for his new nephew. (His brother is 25, my brother spaced out his kids really far) He loved watching me make that blanket and he wanted to learn how to knit. I let him knit a few stitches until he got bored with it and looked at me and announced that his wife would know how to knit. This cracked me up. Next he got out his blanket and laid it on the floor and said look, my blanket fits me when I lay on it this way but if I lay on it the other way it doesn't fit me, Will you make me a blanket just like that one (the one I was knitting for the baby) only make it big on both sidesas my blanket? Which is about 5' x 5', so my friends that is what I am working on, it is taking me forever. I started it when I got home from Christmas vacation and I am about half way through. I need to get with it and finish his blanket. My nephew had ALL Leukemia and finished his last treatment about 2 weeks before Christmas so I guess I would do just about anything he asked me to.
