i see said the blind man

The only thing this post has in common with a knitting/felting blog is that it ultimately ends in color!

i had cataract surgery yesterday, and i can see. i can see clearly, i can see detail, i can see brightness, i can see at dusk.... most importantly i can see color like never before...and... i can see I'm about ready to take a road trip to my favorite yarn store!

To My Suprise... i did it!

The baby suprise jacket... from all I've heard it seems to be a staple in every nursery, and a knitters write of passage... but... i have had a doosey of a time getting it to happen... i've tried stitch markers, but my diagonal line isn't diagonal, its a bit zig zaggy... I've tried counting, but i always seem to have to many stitches... I"ve looked at pictures, they look nothing like mine...I've even taken a road trip to my favorite yarn store to look and touch....I guess maybe i better read the directions!

mitten mitten... whose got the mitten?

My husband lost his mitten today... notice i said "mitten" i think it is with all the socks he's lost... but not him... he thinks he lost it in the woods... We looked for it this afternoon... here...and there...and back here...and back there... we couldn't find it... but i didn't really care cause i didn't make it... that's what he gets for buying store bought mittens...
