Ruffle Scarf

It's difficult to believe that it has been f-o-r-e-v-e-r since I've updated this blog . . . but, here I am!! I've kept meaning to add something but then life gets in the way. Enough of that though . . I'm updating and that's all there is to it! :)

I'm working on a few projects, one of which is a decorative "scarf" for my sister. I put that in quotes only because when I think of a scarf I imagine something that keeps you warm. This little thing is more of a decorative piece. I'm hoping she'll like to wear it more than just around her neck under a jacket or coat. There's just so many things you can do with this. Knit with Tinseltown ribbon yarn, the video instructions can be found below. The picture makes the yarn look pink but it is actually a nice red. I'm hoping she likes it!

Still around . . .

Sorry I haven't updated in ages. So much has happened . . and my knitting has been moving along slowly.

I bought my first house!!!! I'm so excited! It's taking some time to come together . . arranging and painting and fixing . . *sigh* . . I feel like it will never be done. But it's mine! :D

I'll post soon some pics of things I'm working on. I hope you are all well and knitting your little/big hearts out. *hugs*

My dad (part 2)

Thank you everyone for sending me your well-wishes for my dad. Unfortunately, he passed away on May 2nd. I was there in the hospital with him and my family.

I have always thought I've gone through some of the worst times I've ever had in my life. Then I saw my dad take his last breath and I realized my "worst times" weren't even close to being that.

I miss him every day and I know I will never be the same.

Knitting took a back seat during all of this time, but just recently I've picked up my needles again to try and get back in the swing. I've also purchased some roving and drop spindles - I've always wanted to learn how to spin. I'll post some pics this weekend for you to all see.
