HERDING SHEEP...

Well sorta...I have been a knitting fool this last year!
and oh yeah...hoarding yarn!

I have to shout out to Kathy Guenther

my good friend and  knitting idol..
She knits all things amazing,gets me
out of my knitting messes, encourages me....
and is a great yarn hoarding enabler!

First up...these will be for a triangle lace shawl!
Its a very light fingering weight in lovely variegated colors.

I found a free pattern on Ravelry

"Pretty Basic" by Janina Kaillo

I luv this!!!!!!!!!!!

I never have anything green for St Patty's Day.

This yarn will be a great Irish looking scarf..
BTW...I used to be a Murphy!

Kathy sent  me a free pattern (on Ravelry)

This pattern is on my needles now with a beautiful

 Madaline Tosh fingerling weight that I received as a gift!

My little bunny thinks spring is on the way....

Kismet yarns are soft and yummy

I may tackle another "Brickless" lace shawl by Martina Behm

Here is the first "Brickless" I made....

I had some challenges but finally got it done.

It's not perfect...but perfect enuf for me!

A fun cowl pattern from my friend Kathy.

I used stash yarn- double strand "DUNE"

Each strand looks like fingering weight - different textures.

US 9 circulars, cast on 90 stitches and stitch in the round!

Coming along nicely!

  I just finished a "Farrow Ribbed Scarf" 
Lots of free patterns over on Ravelry for this scarf.
Lauren, IG friend @lolodidit gave me a hat pattern
Proud to say this was my FIRST HAT and 
FIRST knitting in the round.
Step-Daughter birthday gift!

I finished my second Hitchhiker shawl by Martina Behm.

Beautiful fall colors that will be great with denim!

It took a lotta sheep to help me build my knitting skills...

I may have been a shepherd in a previous life!
