Soooooooo, it's been a year since I posted anything..... So, I've been busy.... So, I've been neglectful......... So, I closed my store in Virginia Beach in order to serve my internet people better. So, maybe that is half the truth.... So, I have 6 wonderful grandchildren all very young and I want to spend more time with them since they do not live close to me.... So, I've seen some of them recently and they are the bestest little creations ever.... So, I am a little prejudiced!... So, maybe I am a lot prejudiced. Did I tell you how smart they are???? ...So, I AM BACK!!!!
It's appropriate that I start showing off something from Lorna's Laces, since that is what I started with almost nine years ago when I first started my website business. To start with something named "Pearl" is even more ironic. My Grandmom Pearl taught me how to knit! Pearl is a new yarn for Lorna's Laces and they made up the neatest kit with one skein (pictured). It is presented in a box shaped like an oyster and there is a pearl in it! Can you find the pearl in the scarf? This yarn is a combination of silk and bamboo. To put it mildly, it's a whole lot better than sliced bread!! I showed it off at Borders last week to some of my knitting buddies. Chris (one of us) suggested that I put a pearl in all of my knitting from now on as my signature. What a fantastic idea!! I bought some pearls today and can't wait to knit one in the baby sweater I am knitting with Plmouth Cotton Kisses. I actually finished 3 items last week... Once I figure out how to put more than one picture up at a time I'll show you the other items completed. There were socks that I have been working on for a while with Knit One, Crochet Too Tye Dye Sock Yarn... AND, I finally finished an Adult Surprise Jacket using Butterfly 10. I will finish this little pink sweater fairly quickly, because the doorbell just rang and Plymouth sent me some Cotton Grande. There is a really neat A-line sweater that a number of my customers are knitting, and I want to try it. That's it for now, but I'll be back SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON
Do you have the pattern available?
