I cleaned the whole deck [scrubbing each board etc], helped my husband in the country and did some shopping but one of my favorite things I have done this weekend is work on this yarn that I spun on my Kromski Prelude.

Recently the Knitting Wahoo has only wanted to spin, spin, spin... Maybe that is a good thing as I have a bit of an over abundance of roving...

<span style="font-size: 16pt;">I have been knitting and spinning and well knitting and spinning all summer. Here is a photo of my home spun wool.. before I plied it.. I ended up NAVAJO plying it and am now in the process of making a scarf for myself.. It is a great distraction as the pattern is lace and charted.. so I really have to pay close attention</span><br />

<br />
I played the piano for the First District Conference for the UDC in Virginia.... and have had a son with lots of sickness from strep... [surgery is coming up]... and have been working on my genealogy, pictures etc ... so you may ask... Have you knitted anything this spring????<br />
<br />
The answer is a big yes.....<br />
<br />
Here are a couple picks of finished items.. More will follow as I get them completed.. I have also gotten back into Crochet.. so There will be some pics of that as well in future.<br />
<br />
<br />
This sweater is made of Lion Kitchen Cotton and was for a friend of my Husband..... it is not nearly as difficult as it looks... but I had a horrible time finding enough thread to sew on the buttons.... <br />

<br />
<br />
And what else would the Knitting Wahoo do but make more UVA oriented items... <br />
<br />
Here is a hat I made from some wonderful yarn from <a href="http://yarntheory.com/Yarn_Theory/Home.html">YARN THEORY</a> in Bedford, VA... <br />

<br />
I made <a href="http://www.uvm.edu/~hag/godey/images/s5603264.jpg">Princess Royal's Scarf from the 1856 issue of Godey's Magazine</a>.<br />

<br />
<br />
I guess I went with a "half mourning" theme... but then since I was thinking about the War Between the States.. this rather fits... who was not in some level of mourning for a lost loved one at that time.....<br />
<br />
I plan to offer this for sale as an effort to raise money for the Children of the Confederacy..... <br />
<br />
The pattern was easier than I thought.. and lots of fun.. I am wanting to make another to keep for me... 12 pom poms.. really made this into a lovely scarf... <br />

Summer has been very busy and I have not had the time or inclination to get on the Internet that much... .just ask my Facebook.com friends.. .I don't go there that much either.. I think think things will change with the Fall thought..<br /><br />So with further adeau here is what I have been knitting this summer.</strong><br /><br /><br /></div><div>These socks were for a friends grandchild who is about 10 months old.

I love these socks and they were the first pair I have ever finished so quickly. I think it was the patriotic patterning.. or maybe I was just extra stressed.. I don't know..

Otherwise it turned out pretty well. </p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375874588998753746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-MRfrHlOALQ_yP5GMdOqRqeJogYOiC3J6HbL5Dvq_SNokBtSjjry5dI7Q34mlpF1rJqC65A19H6CSbP7NGpoL50LjPba4Y4hDTsYpJVJuIC9nPR6ozyAboWozJJr19P2lDCUw/s320/P6220094.JPG" border="0" /></p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375874576662019266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlKeolzEORffdP3WHAE_Nod01drvGHGzy2zhrnIgyIuv2XFGArhxDjz7iuSIxP7kqRBqO2GHuFFy4iQYt5oP_yomD8b_wk7rUxbrIV2BuoThDwFTVNAFYixOWLeeSmdKQhEQw9/s320/P6230104.JPG" border="0" /></p>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13296279866695931169noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21323754.post-9173607067078794292009-04-17T21:44:00.001-04:002009-04-17T21:48:13.902-04:00A great videoTake a look at this video from VIMEO....<br /><br />WOW....<br /><br /><object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2534639&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2534639&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><br /><a href="http://vimeo.com/2534639">"Stand by Me" performed by musicians around the world</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user500063">SKAT</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13296279866695931169noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21323754.post-59299692291131512262009-04-15T20:35:00.004-04:002009-04-15T20:58:02.940-04:00SO what has the Knitting Wahoo been up to?????<div><br /><div>Well to tell the truth..

[gifts]... so I will not feel rushed come November/December.<br /><br />In the mean time.. here are a few of my recently finished objects.....<br /><br /><br /><div><div>I have finished yet another pair of socks... This time they were <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Knitting-Circles-Around-Socks-Circular/dp/1564777391/ref=sr_1_7/002-7651325-1131229?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1214791255&sr=1-7">two at a time</a>... I don't know that I am a fan yet.. but I will try again this may have been too hard a pattern to start with... I gave these to a co-worker on the event of her retirement. They are made with <a href="http://www.elann.com/productdisp.asp?NAME=elann%2Ecom+Esprit&Season=&Company=&Cat=ALLY&ProductType=5&OrderBy=&Count=18"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Elann</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Espirit</span></a>.. much like Cascade fixation.. but different color ways and lesser costs...<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217487256553395810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSKhbeR2VsVWnbGcybKGjRGsMzleEyoe_7Rf7tkaeaKGUyQmyIC57a92I_o-fE_SAR2wRQzOr8akv9sdzDb3XQpL7qezPwSDlFd32JRkHKX4dmznKgMC3jNXShfXKBYcg2A3aT/s320/P6260005.JPG" border="0" /></div><br /><br /><div>And before this I had finished some socks in <a href="http://%20www.yarnfwd.com/step.html"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Austerman</span> Step</a>.. using a purl lace sock pattern from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Socks-Winning-Patterns-Knitters-Magazine/dp/0964639157/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-7651325-1131229?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1214791255&sr=1-1">SOCKS, SOCKS, SOCKS</a>... I love these.... They were as much a joy to knit [the yarn is so soft and fun] as they feel on my feet.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217491033860898946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjURIdrEGO2B_dNVPYQAjszxWc_id9oA0oNMlckb7hdw8iPg9mBQ5CUpKm5cpcsHRe8aAK8Zt-TBJD94_HQgmyUF-Y8JPI15JNU9uXrvWlsrJtSLbLqJgCU1JP0TtmT140SUO0X/s320/P6110148.JPG" border="0" /></div></div><br /><br /><br /><p>And finally... I have finished my Orange/Brown/Green roving. I decided to Navajo ply it due to the fact that one bobbin was older than the other.. and although this was my first time Navajo plying.. I think I am in love... I like it much better.. don't have the extra singles I usually end up with otherwise.. and found I had better control...... So far I don't know how much yardage I have... But I believe I have enough for a scarf... maybe something more... I will have to consider who it is for... As these are really not my colors.. but I enjoy looking at it ..... I spun this on my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Kromski</span> Mazurka.. and plied it on my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Majacraft</span> Saxony... </p>SO...

They turned out a little bigger than I had anticipated... No overly big, but I guess to be honest... I am a little spoilt to my Fixation socks... Anyway I only got to wear them once and have not tried since washing them.. maybe I got a little shrinkage [I did not try to felt them.... but did hope they would tighten up a wee bit.]<br /><br /><br /><br />NOW BELOW are photos of the left overs... I took some to make two squares for an afghan for a knitting friend who lost her home to a fire and then still had enough yarn for these... they are on size 1 needles and are 24 stitches around. I did not do a true heel decrease due to the size.. I plan to use them as ornaments anyway... but I thought they were just too cute.....<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKX4BDvDLDXzEgilrwI84C3hUWPsdsxVkIfnjSBnju5q81MGZdSAgyglWbDiFefxYDMuFaaD7ZPXWs3SHHS4yWNAiz9LbR7UBX6sZ0A0eKmNg9YQlcxiF-cNrZbVAvyBLdsrun/s1600-h/P5120012.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206525437388615298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKX4BDvDLDXzEgilrwI84C3hUWPsdsxVkIfnjSBnju5q81MGZdSAgyglWbDiFefxYDMuFaaD7ZPXWs3SHHS4yWNAiz9LbR7UBX6sZ0A0eKmNg9YQlcxiF-cNrZbVAvyBLdsrun/s320/P5120012.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg3ISerK4x6uN5dFQUpSnxhostA0kattnE1LU5BFPejOLLHmuB9duuU04CRhthCec6J6QJCJOiemFy4gWqMRinHEKD5ukUyKm-la-uKVuaYtAsPsvt7UepTxhFuy0OX0B2N9xA/s1600-h/P5180027.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206525439426473730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg3ISerK4x6uN5dFQUpSnxhostA0kattnE1LU5BFPejOLLHmuB9duuU04CRhthCec6J6QJCJOiemFy4gWqMRinHEKD5ukUyKm-la-uKVuaYtAsPsvt7UepTxhFuy0OX0B2N9xA/s320/P5180027.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Oh yeah... and ROSES galore...

I am hoping to be able to dress in period clothing for Civil War Reenactments and events and have been looking for shawl, cap etc patterns. I joined a group on Yahoo and found more resources... As soon as I have something nice made I will post my efforts..
<br /></div>
<br /><div>One of the patters I really liked was put out by Goodey's Lady's book and is of a cap. I plan to do it first.. and probably will make a dress around it.
<br /></div>
<br /><div>So since I was thinking South.. I decided to see where my linguistics was at... well here is the tail......

<br /><p>About a month ago I did a spinning exhibition at work and was featured in our newsletter spinning... I am beginning to be much more confident in sharing my spinning knowledge now.</p>
<br /><p>As to knitting.. well...............I have finished some Maxim by Filatura Di Crosa that I picked up at Yarn Theory <a href="http://www.yarntheory.com/">http://www.yarntheory.com/</a> Jan is the bomb and always has a nice selection. If you are in Bedford, Virginia you need to look her up.</p>
<br /><p>I plan to post pictures of these socks soon.. but I have the toes and running in treads to go. I may try to finish tonite though as tomorrow is supposed to be so very cool again. It is hard to believe it is spring from today's weather.. but I have seen....</p>

He is wearing it.. but I cropped off his head as I don't like advertising exactly what he looks like on line.<br /><br />Anyway it is in Shepherd wool, basic sweater pattern is from the Knitters Book of Patterns. Front is in a Diamond Brocade... I had to adjust majorly when it came to the arms and shoulders.. but all went well... all that math I took in High School paid off...<br /><br />Back is straight stockinette.... I did this at the suggestion of a co-worker and it definitely looks good.<br /><br />Gauge was about 5 stitches to the inch...<br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;"><strong>and here is the picture....</strong></span><br /><br /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5184804830450030834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpTIdZFKodyDCby01ZBqWTUxAayW1WaZF2aA_LisTwPdeZuea3zhMpST8_oPd3eDikbYYLHqI0I0ZrnMeG6DNIMZiuJnClCwbZO4zTsq0yl_v2_-rC_AtSzrgTPpxljZ8mHjvB/s320/hdb+easter+sweater.jpg" border="0" />The flash and my editing took away some of the detail.. but it is truly diamond brocade on the full front.....</p><p>Now that I have gotten brave.. and found his size [my son is very tall for a 5 year old]... I plan to keep working on more vests for his first year of Kindergarten this fall.... Orange, Mustard Yellow.. and Green are on the agenda.... I even have one stitch pattern already picked out... Pictures will follow as I get them done..</p><p></p><p>Right now I am knitting two socks at the same time.... I a book about this.. and so far... well I can tell why one woman at a yarn shop said she did not like it.. It takes a lot of getting used to... But I am hopeful my retirement present for a co-worker will be done on time with no "SECOND SOCK" problems<br /></p>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13296279866695931169noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21323754.post-78838300610962315892008-03-04T20:43:00.004-05:002008-03-04T20:59:23.394-05:00A couple items I recently finished<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXc5XZ-0myy_zPK513j7o2EtZ943Jgqqo_rvzHVB-ogVyM_mZBUE_PezB2LFN9zHoUXUm-NpoQyop_IaZJ_1wWlPMFr4Tsl6pBGNzPI4PQ9UOkse8StTVJx_VXuIIIlJ8vIupf/s1600-h/P1280008.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5174069341717717714" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXc5XZ-0myy_zPK513j7o2EtZ943Jgqqo_rvzHVB-ogVyM_mZBUE_PezB2LFN9zHoUXUm-NpoQyop_IaZJ_1wWlPMFr4Tsl6pBGNzPI4PQ9UOkse8StTVJx_VXuIIIlJ8vIupf/s320/P1280008.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div><div>I have recently finished a couple items....

WELL>>>>>><br /><br />I am working on a sweater for my son for Easter Sunday. It is blue and is made from Shepherd wool [it will be cold in the mountains on March 23rd]... I have used a diamond brocade pattern on the front... and a plain back.. it is a sweater vest... I am nearly done.. I did the front first as it was hardest [I had to deal with a repeating pattern and decreases... <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">ARGH</span> I am going up the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">shoulder</span> blades on the back.. and should be ready to do the shoulder decreases later <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">tonite</span> or tomorrow at Lunch time..... Once I get it blocked and put together I will post a picture... I am rather proud of it if I must say so myself.Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13296279866695931169noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21323754.post-64781329558843086872008-01-20T16:24:00.001-05:002008-01-20T16:32:29.836-05:00My newest creationYes I keep knitting and knitting for babies being born in Roanoke Virginia.... and elsewhere.... Is it something in the water or what?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anyway here is my most recent creation.... It is a size 6 months... but as most people know.. babies come in all sizes and grow so quickly... I think this will do for April/May.... and if not.. then there are still cool days/evenings in early summer... <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157673835681877218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjpU4RHpgQsoCNoxMWiDoES6BYZPFyyd0Cvmi4h_tayE_aQiGAkt3lYKE7miYRdjryux4lS1_XcbnfGl7WHnn_wtwvIfvNYIeaqyfaas-v62QSfnBwKAEHnaZlR81dD1yyTs6R/s320/P1200030.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />It is acrylic... which I often use for babies... and was a fairly quick knit, once I made myself focus.<br />Here it is in its green tissue paper, ready for wrapping....

I am ready... to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">qoute</span> my not so favorite sponge [<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">SpongeBOB</span>]...

The United Daughters of the Confederacy [<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">UDC</span>] and find myself in cemeteries and libraries more than with my needles for the moment... Genealogy is the one thing I have done longer than knit... I keep finding dead people... well of course they are in cemeteries.. but man I love it.. I started doing genealogy when I was 12.. and am 40 now.. so this has truly been a life long hobby/passion. <br /><br /><br /><br />Below are a few things I have been doing since my last post.<br />a gift for a friend at church who had her baby in September.
