The Kimono

After nearly a YEAR of lying in wait, my Kimono is nearly finished now. I just have to complete the last sleeve and sew that seam together. Yep, I will be wearing my new Kimono tomorrow and I will post a photo of ME wearing it. Another UFO that is nearly FINISHED UP. Stashbusting is working so great for me. I have completed 3 months of NO YARN BUYING now. I am working from stash and completing UFOs only.

You can see the Kimono pattern here. In the picture it is of Crystal Palace Merino Frappe. I am making mine out of Lion Brand Moonlight Mohair so it looks VERY different than the one pictured...mine is MUCH nicer.

What does your drawing say about YOU?

Meowwwwwww WOW

You Are: 0% Dog, 100% Cat

You are are almost exactly like a cat. You're intelligent, independent, and set on getting your way. And there's no way you're going to fetch a paper for anyone!

Are You More Cat or Dog?

She LIKES it!

My Favorite Color SWAP 2 PAL has received my gifts in Sun City, Arizona. I was on pins and needles, waiting to hear her response. I am not a great sock knitter, and she is. She wanted sock yarn. I thought a long time about just what to send her. I have no real experience with it. But, I decided to choose some yarns from different countries. She is happy. I am happy. She is a really nice lady and I wanted to please her with my choices. I think I have done that. You might like to visit my downstream pal, Ollie, at: whatchagotknits.

She strikes AGAIN...

My SECRET PAL 10 has struck again. There it was, in my mailbox...another package. What a great surprise it was. I opened it to find, CHOCOLATES but cannot post a photo of them. Well, I ATE them quickly, before I had time to take a picture. I love the TWO yarns she sent me, too. And, the white bunny. It is not often that a 63 year old woman gets a stuffed animal, I tell ya. I will enjoy these things so much. She even sent me some hand cream, which I am already using, too. THANK you for the nice surprise my pal.
