Cable Scarf

So, it's been awhile since I've posted on my blog. I have just been so busy with work and church. I'm finishing up the cookbook this week for the church. I'll be glad to get this task over with. I do hope that the lady's group raises lots of money for the missions that they want to support.

Here is a snapshot of the scarf that I am working on right now. I am really enjoying this.

This is my first attempt at anything cable and it's really cool. I haven't got my brain wrapped around how this is happening but I love it.

I've been using a cable needle and have found that for now that works the best for me.

Oh the home front ... Tinkerbella went back home to live with her previous family. I miss her so much. But, I got a new baby. His name is Pancho Villa. He's a rotten little 2 1/2 pound Chihuahua. He's quickly winning over my heart.

I also finally got on Ravelry! Woo Hoo! That really is a great website. I've been pestering Kibbles over the fact that I got in before her! (slight snicker) but I'll get her a T-shirt to make it up to her.

Oh ya - believe it or not there is a Chihuahua group inside Ravelry. I'm a member of course. I hope to find lots of patterns for my little Hua.

Life is good. I'm off work today and tomorrrow. That's good. I'll have a short work week. That's good. Knitting on Thursday. That's good. Everything is really good now ... maybe it's the meds! haha!

The New Baby!

Yes, I have a new baby!


Here she in in all her glory. As you can see here in this photo, she's been very busy unraveling a $40 skein of alapca. The yarn goes around the green chair, down the hall and the rest is in the kitchen. I was just telling someone that she was so good - that she will sit on my lap when I knit. Then she goes and pulls this stunt. I didn't even hear her.


This isn't a really good photo of her. She's a going concern and rarely stops long enough for a photoshoot session. The neighbor guy came over and she charmed him a bit. He was doing the ole' dog whisperer thing with her and she responded great. He had her sitting and laying down.


I can't get her to do anything. I will say however that since I've had her ... almost one week now. She's only bit me once or twice today. On day one, she bit me about 100 times.

I love her. I can't help it.

A little more mileage ...

I just gotta get a little more milage out of my blue ribbon.

Here is my baby brother modeling my hat.

Ain't he handsome?

He's a good sport!
