The Tell Tale Heart Shawl (& don't worry be happy) 134/365

Erin hand dyed this yarn. It's yummy. I used size 8 needles even though it's a sock yarn. I like how it turned out.

For those of you stressing about the so called end of the world tomorrow...please consider Jesus' words at


Matthew 24:36 - "Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father."

Ten in 2010? 178/365

If I am not careful I may get ten shawls in 2010 without even meaning to! Here is #3 that will go to my daughter, Deanna, if she leaves me a comment here saying she wants it (motherly blackmail) (oh...and it will look nice on the wall if you don't want to wear it)

The Pink 198 Yds of Heaven 174/365

I'm so glad Leslie did the 10 shawls in 2010 challenge on Ravelry. She introduced me to this shawl pattern and I love it to pieces. I gave the gray one to a friend at the Kingdom Hall because she looks great in black, gray and red.(And her name is Becky) I made this pink one for myself.

They come of the needles looking horrible but block them out and the magic happens.

I'm doing a lime green lace weight leaf shawl for Deanna and a purple 12 pt ball for my nephew, Dustin. I really should finish the blue cotton Yosemite sweater I started two years ago next. If not next, soon.

The weather is depressing.

How I Spent My (Stupid) Snow Day 172/365

I stayed up late waiting to see if Jack would get called in to push snow (he didn't) and I slept late thus giving myself another migraine (note to self- do NOT sleep in  no matter what). I got some snow pics but mostly I was on my computer and knitting all day. The good news...Jack cooked brunch and supper.

This was going to say "Not Funny" but I went with this next picture instead

Here's my next shawl which I will finish and block during my new Favorite TV show Meteorite Men

I think I can finish my scrappy memory knee socks tonight too!

198 Yards of Heaven Shawlette 168/365

Leslie has made a bunch of these little shawls and I wanted one real bad so I cut into my sock making to do one. I'm quite pleased with the result even though I changed my colors up at the last hour. I was going to do a deeper border in dark rose but I couldn't find any in my stash....grrrr coulda sworn I had some but it's being evasive. I settled for some of the red left over from my new comet bag. (Pics on that soon.) My 365 is the new LEATHER COAT I got a the second hand shop on Nevada across from the new Lowes for $35.00....SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Colorful Shawl Story 135/365

I made this this little beauty as the beginning of my shawl making ways. The year, 1989.  The place, Franklin County, Indiana. I had three little kids, a bag full of gifted sport weight yarn and a Glorious Knits book from the library. Oh those were the days.

I left it in my insurance agent's office for a year once and at my oldest son's best friend's house for 6 months but it has always come back to me, thank God.

Me and Dakota at the Citadel Mall waiting on Jack to pick us up. I got to be the hero for once, buying Dakota brand new pants and sweats off the rack along with steel toed boots, new socks and a late lunch at Chick Fil A with Dalton.

The Black Shawl 99/365

This is the first shawl I made after I moved to Colorado. I ended up giving it to my friend ponyjones in Indiana and she wore it on stage playing music! (At  least I hope she did lol)

The 12 Point Ball Thingy 82/365

So is this thing cool or what!?! Made from sock yarn I had, two different ones, as at first i thought I had enough of the orange striped but I didn't. This is # 41 on my 100 thing list.. I'm doing a slightly larger version from worsted weight scrap yarn now.

My 365 is the leaf shawl I will be listing on etsy soon in my Szenario shop

Snow Shawl 25/365

I live in Colorado. It snows early here. We love it coz we'll take moisture in any form we can get it in. I guess we'll just stay home and watch it fall.

Dakota humored me and took this picture. This is the shawl that lives on the back of my chair ready to warm me up when needed. I got the yarn at the Dollar Tree on 19th and Uintah. Can't beat paying $1 for a $6 ball of yarn!
