Very Happy With This One

The yarn is Vanna's Choice from Lion Brand...........White, Mustard, Sea Spray Mist and Olive.  The pattern used is Lyn's Round Ripple.  It is 40 inches wide and will be going to Central Ohio Binky Patrol.


I am very happy with the way this one turned out.  I wasn't sure about the colors and didn't want pastel baby colors.
What do you think?

More Winter Wear

A few more items to help keep those who are cold a little warmer. Winter has been hard up north and these adult winter items are going to Millie in New York  for her local needs.

There are 4 hats, 1 scarf, 1 pair of mittens and 2 toe cast covers.

Items for Penny

I really do need to take more pictures and post more often............I have mailed a package to MA this morning to Penny Chase for her shelters. There are so many people who need warmth and most of all prayers. Whether they be without a home due to joblessness or in shelters because of domestic violence.........there are way too many. I pray for the economy to turn around and quickly, I pray for people to be able to stay in their homes and I pray for mankind to learn how to love one another and care about their fellow human beings.

Blankets for Marine Corps Kids

As many of you know I love knitting and crocheting for charity. One of the places that I like to give is Marine Corps Kids. It is the least I can do for our service men and women. Would you like to join me?

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.
