My Pinky Protector

Believe it or not........this inexpensive little item works pretty good. I just rub some on the area of my pinky that the yarn irritates and wa la ...protection. Pretty neat huh??

Hey! It works for me.

Pinky Protector

Now what in the world would I want with a piece of rubber hose.

Well, I am a KNITTER. And when I knit my tensioned yarn is around my pinky no matter how I try to wrap. I have been getting a groove in that little pinky. So DH and I are going to try to make a pinky protector.

The inside of the hose is circumference in 5/8 inches and it fits my pinky quite comfortably. The outside circumference of my pinky is 7/8 inches.

Will continue to post the progress as it is done. DH has some ideas. I hope they work.

Update: Nah.......this won't work either. Now the right tools and then hose isn't as comfortable as I thought it would be.

To keep on pluggin' away.

Doesn't Help the Pinky

I have been looking for something to put around the bottom of my pinky so my yarn doesn't put a groove in my skin. This was suggested but as you can see, it doesn't quite do the job. So I continue in my quest.

My Newest Project

Kelly's sweater.......This is a very easy pattern. This set is going to Southside Hospital........ NY.........I am making more and using Bernat baby jacquards............It is a wonderful yarn for babies............Hope to be able to place more Pictures here soon.


Yes it has been quite awhile since I posted....

We are now retired and living in AL.........I love having the time to craft...........but the major thing on my list is to lose weight and I am on my way to doing that. I use the treadmill 5 days a week and have changed my diet..............No I am not dieting......just changing my lifestyle to include exercise and healthy eating.........

Just Chillin'

Here are a few pictures of Jerry and I relaxin' at Lazy Acres.







He sure liked the pool, esp when we were the only ones in it. We went when it was HOT!










Lucy is enjoying the shade.

The Yarn Cottage

I really enjoyed going to Fairhope AL to visit a very nice yarn shop call The Yarn Cottage. They have a charity project going called Comfortghans for the Baldwin County Care House. You can read about it on their website.
Lynn, who just learned to knit is working on one.

I bought some Berroco Comfort Yarn in white and pale yellow.

There are about 300 shops of all kinds in the area but I only wanted to go into this one. I loved it. I wish there was a similar place around here.

Here We Are

I don't know why I can't add my pictures in order.....Oh well

Jerry has been doing some much needed relaxing. We are in the shade but it still has been hot.

We would like to come back but this is no weekend visit. It took just over 3 hours to get here. Jerry did not like Interstate driving pulling our camper. We will be going home a different way.
