...One Stitch At A Time

 I'm wondering if anyone even reads blogs anymore. I feel like even podcasts are going away.  I don't know. Maybe it's just me. But, I'll write this like a journal of my projects just for fun, I guess! I created a baby hat and baby sweater for my granddaughter. I'm too excited to see her in it! It was knit top down all in one piece and the hat was knit in the round. I don't have pics on my computer so I'll have to come back to add those. The color is lavender or lilac, which is the chosen signature color per my daughter. LOL. I had colors assigned to my babies because they were triplets but I've not heard of it for singletons. My daughter is a perfectionist, however, so I will do what I can to comply.

 It's been a while since I've tried to make Christmas gifts. I think it's time. I have a grand baby that needs a sweater and her momma needs a matching scarf. LOL. So, yarn shopping I go. woot! woot!

 Today I have not done any yarn crafting whatsoever. Today I worked on a new project. Diamond Dot painting. It is a small project to start with small beads, ugh. LOL. But, it's cute and a learning experience, as this is my first one. What project/craft are you learning or would like to learn?

EDIT: This post is now 10 years old. It was in my drafts folder so I decided to publish it. This WIP is something I lost in the move so I can't even work on this beauty anymore. :( I hate frogging.  It represents a waste of valuable time and energy to my brain.  As an engineer, I value efficiency and eliminate waste.  This frogging represents a failure on both fronts.  Ugh.  My senses struggles looonnnggg and hard on the decision.   BUT, I kept this WIP around far too long.  I started it in October 2012 per my Ravelry project page.  Gee, I should really look at that project page more often to keep myself on track!  Geepers.  That time got away from me fast! That WIP hibernated in a project bag.  Out of sight, out of mind. http://www.ravelry.com/projects/PickandPurl/adobe    I actually picked it back up a couple of days before I frogged.  I knit a few rows and just wasn't happy with it.  I'm still unsure if it is the pairing of the yarn I was using with the pattern I was kni

 It's been 10 whole years since my last blog post! I may try to resurrect my original intentions here. But, update, I must. Since my last post my marriage of 22 years ended in divorce. I have a new BF and a rental home that is too small for all of my stuff. However, I lost SO much craft stuff in the move/divorce. I lost dogs, horses and craft stuff. That's what I'm most salty about. Not the husband, but the life I built. Sad. Ah well, things will shake out and I'll replace what was most important.  I've been scrapbooking a lot lately. I finished 4 books. One was a Marine Corps book for my Dad, the others were for my kids-their baby books (since they are 22 1/2 it's high time they had one, don't you think?! Haha). Now, the books are not long, maybe 10 pages in a big 12x12 book, but I'm proud nonetheless.  I'll be starting paramedic class this fall. September 23 is the orientation. I still second guess myself for doing it, but full steam ahead. One thi
