More progress on Charlotte & another butterfly

Here is the latest update on Charlotte #1. I'm halfway through color #4. Color #5 is at the top.


And here's yet another Butterfly picture. I guess you can tell that I like butterflies. I have two of them on my back...tattoo's that is...and a dragonfly.

Nature shots

Here's my Lilac bush. I was taking a picture of the flowers and this butterfly must have wanted his picture taken too. Turned out kinda pretty.

This is Moby. He's one of about 15 fish in our pond. I inherited him from my Mom when she moved a few years ago. You really can't tell from the picture but Moby is about 12 inches long.

Charlotte #2

Here is the Koigu that I picked for Charlotte #2. I'm not sure which direction I want to go with the colors yet. I'm leaning toward the purple on the bottom and red at the neck edge.

Charlotte's Web #1

Here is the Koigu I picked for my 1st Charlotte's Web Shawl. I started with the color that's furthest away in the picture.

And here she is in progress. I just started color #4.

Animal House

We had a visitor this weekend...his name is Oliver. He's 9 weeks old and weighs 2 lbs...

Sh*tty Kitty was not impressed....

Update on ISE Pal's scarf

I made it to the halfway point on my ISE pal's lace scarf. You can't really see the colors to well in this photo.


I took this photo outside in the sun so you could see the purple shades better. I really like this yarn. I shall have to buy more....

Now I'm off to start on the other half...Knit on folks!

A Couple of scarves

This is my first "ruffle" scarf (please excuse the crappy picture). It was really fun to knit. I believe that pattern came from a Creative Knitting magazine, though I'm not sure which one. I bought 2 skeins of this yarn when I went on a Knitting Retreat last Nov. It's Malabrigo Worsted, the color is Lettuce. This scarf didn't even use 1 full skein. When I saw the pattern I thought it looked like lettuce leaves, then I remembered I had yarn that was called Lettuce....and so it was meant to be.

I love this scarf! I used Misti Alpaca Chunky and #13 needles. The pattern is free on their website. You only need one skein, unless you want to make it really long. This yarn is so soft. I have another skein in fushia. I just may have to make one more.
