Yarn shopping
Mood:  on fire
I went shopping today, and my credit card is sizzling. I had a nice time with my sister. We went to lunch. Then to Hobby Lobby. Yarn was on sale so I bought $113.00 worth of yarn. I just love the glitzy yarns. I don't know what i am going to make with them yet. I bought a new quilt, and a bracelet. And a suede jacket for my dog Elvis. I am sure that he will just love his new jacket.

Gifts
Mood:  bright
I have been busy knitting gifts. The Fuzzy slippers are for my sister, and the gloves are for my Mom. I don't have any idea what I am going to knit next.

I have finished a pair of slippers. The are called Shaker slippers. The pattern has an optional cuff. I made them with a cuff. The pattern also says to use size 13 needles, so I did, but if I make them again, I am going to use a smaller needle, because the knit is to loose. I would like a closer tighter knit. I used TLC Essentials yarn, the color Falling leaves, and the color Autumn red. I like the way that these 2 colors look together. The pattern came from http://www.p2designs.com/ShkrSlpr.htm

Glad Hands Gloves
Mood:  on fire
I finished my sisters gloves today. They fit her perfectly! She loved them. I used Noro yarn, the color Kureyon. My sister RoxAnn bought then pattern for me at my LYS. It is knit flat and then folded and sewed up. It was an easy pattern to make. I am going to have to make a few more pairs of gloves for gifts. You can go to the iknitiative web site to purchase the pattern if you would like to have the pattern. I am starting a sweater for my Rat Terrier puppy today. He is 9 1/2 months old now. And it gets very cold in South Dakota in the winter. He will need a nice warm wool sweater.
