Since this is my first post let me introduce myself, my name is Annette and I live in Arizona with my husband Ken, our son Cody and our dachshund Princess Emily. I have an older son Danny also who is on his own. I am going to be 46 in just over a month. Along with knitting and crocheting I am a huge Los Angeles Angels fan and love spring training here in Sunny Arizona because the Angels' spring home is about 20 miles from home and these games are cheaper than regular season games and so close to home. The players also take the time to sign autographs and talk to their fans, this is also a great time to see the up and coming players.
I am a self taught knitter and crocheter, both of which i started after my paternal Grandma passed in 1983. My Dad always thought his Mom had reached out from beyond and touched me with her vast knowledge of crocheting and sewing too, did I mention that I sew also!
Right now I am trying trying to finish a sweater for my Father in Law but I am having a hard time getting it done. It is a beautiful pattern i found at http://www.knitty.com/ it happens that the pattern name and his name are the same-Leo. I can do afghans in no time but this sweater is just taking forever to complete. I love the pattern but I am just letting it get the best of me. I took a few days off of workng on it and did 3 scarves for my pod mates at work and they all loved the scarves. Now I am back to working on the sweater and it just is not working up fast enough. Maybe it has something to do with the smaller needles the pattern calls for.
Looking forward to showing pics of my finished projects maybe I will get that sweater done and Dad will model it for me. I will post again soon.
