Ok time to show off a couple of finished projects, first my brothers Christmas present a blanket that turned out to be very beautiful.

I think this is is perfect. My brothers dog Maggie approves.

Next is a request from my nephew Wyatt, he wanted a stuffed German Shepherd dog.  I found the pattern in the book "Knit Your Dog" I do not remember the author but this book has a lot of dogs in it this German Shepherd turned out great also.

He's very happy you with this creation. My son also wanted these finger puppets he rarely asks me do make him any thing so I could not refuse.  He found the pattern on this page, http://krawka.blogspot.com.au/2015/01/its-bird-its-plane-no-its-finger.html?m=1

Here is a picture of my finished finger 

puppets cute right?

Late Christmas Presents

I have been working on my brothers Christmas present since November, I am finally over half done with it. Now I feel that is is moving quicker, I am using a dishcloth pattern and simply knitted it until I had almost 300 stitches on the needles. I am using Grandma's Favorite Dishcloth and started decreasing at about 280 stitches. I am striping it and have used my stash to make this blanket. I hope he likes it. I did throw some colors into it that will make him laugh, he is red-green color blind and of course I had to use them to mess with him, wouldn't be fun if I did not do that to him. Once i started to decrease I am repeating the color striping backwards. Once it is done I will post a picture of it, should be soon now I am finally on the downside of finishing this one. It is a large blanket it looks to be about 8 feet wide my brother is very tall.

life and its curves

well life has done it again, I went into work like any other day, I did not like this job much to begin with, they let us work almost the entire day then called about of 20 of us into a conference room and told us the that we were being laid off. Once they had all of us in the room supervisors went to our desks and cleaned out our desks and brought them to the room.  I knew something was up when i saw the hr guy and the location vp in the room. I was relieved that I was laid off, I hated that job!  So now I am looking for a new job, the battery in my car decided it was time to die and not working I really could not afford that expense at all, but better now then when I start a new job.  I need to find something soon.
