Hi all, its a dreary day here in Jacksonville and everyone is up and out.
Today is a trip to Gainesville, Fl and that mean knitting for me. Its about a two hour trip and I am the taxi while my husband and son are in admissions and multiple other various offices on campus. So I sit and knit until they call.
I have two projects going now, one is the Sheep Heid and the other is the Dragon's Eye scarf.
I have started this scarf twice and ripped it out. I am not the most lace ept knitter in the world by dang it, I am going to make it and make it work.
So when I cast on this time I will have plenty of stitch markers and convince myself to slow down. I often find myself just speeding along and then I screw up. I think this is partially to blame for being a continental knitter. I feel like I am in robotic motion and just take off. I love the result but the mistakes can mean start overs, and over and over....
Oh well will let you know how it goes.....

So today is a good day I have just finished the scarf for Heike in Germany and I am ready to ship when she is. It turned out beautiful and I
hope she likes it.
You know, I started to think today how worried I was about exchanging a gift with such a talented knitter. She has been knitting for 30 years
and I wondered what will she think of what I have made? Getting a little nervous about it I looked my project over once and then again and
remembered that she too once was a novice, and I think she will know that I tried my best. The color is vibrant like my new friend and the
pattern, simple but complicated. Love to you Heike I hope you enjoy it.
Now I can start back on Rebas hat... Oh yeah I havent introduced you to Reba yet.... will do that tomorrow.
Everyone I talk to lately seems to have a little bug or something. Remember everyone to wash, wash, wash your hands and dont
touch your face until you have washed your hands.
In this complicated world remember there is a wife who found out that her husband has cancer today,
there is a husband that found out that his wife has cancer today, there are parents that found out that
their child has cancer today .... And someone found out that a loved one only has weeks to live. Pray for
those who have had a much worse day than we did today.
Remember, any day you have on the right side of the dirt is a good day.
hope she likes it.

Start Blogging
Hello everyone,
Thanks to my new friend Heike from Germany I have started a blog.
I have been married for 25 years and have a 17 year old son who is graduating from highschool this year. He will also graduate with his AA this April. We have two dogs,
Snazzy(12) a yellow lab and Majella(4) a cairn terrier. My husband is a veterinarian and I am a Registered Nurse. My son aspires to be a veterinary specialist.
My hobby is knitting: and that is what this blog is about......
I have been knitting for almost 3 years and I have tried many different projects most finished and some not so much. I have tried several different yarns but have not experienced the laces yet. So this is where I start, right now I am working on a scarf exchange with a group on Ravelry and Heike is the recipient, so I cant tell which one it is but when it is finished and she receives it in cold weather Berlin, Germany I will post the pictures. Its looking good and I am very excited. I can say that the color is vibrant and the pattern is looooooooong.
I look forward to posting and hope to hear from you.
