My Versatility +!

What a beautiful shawl by LeTonBeau! Here is a link to LeTonBeau's Versatility. Be sure to check out her pictures so you can see what the finished product looks like! As I am a larger woman, I added a repeat of the cable/bobble section so it would be wider. Here’s the first 24 rows of the main section…

My very first bobbles and cables! Can you see them? Can’t WAIT to get it finished!

P.S. If you are new to chart reading, don’t forget that you must read the chart from bottom to top AND you must read the odd rows left to right and the even rows RIGHT to LEFT. Otherwise, you will come out with wrong stitch counts and things (bobbles and cables) won’t match up!

Reality Check

"I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble. The world is moved along not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker." - Helen Keller

Maybe that is why I love knitting so much...one small stitch at a time...focused...perservering...never monotonous...each stitch important to the integrity of the whole.

My Fibertrends AC-12 Brushed Felt Beret is finally finished!

Modeling a Christmas present for a friend...

Another Christmas present...the "No Knot Cravat"...

A slit is knitted in so the other side slips through.

No more losing your scarf!
