My road map on the Praire has me lost ~ posted by Kimberly

Well I have finally gotten the body complete on my Prairie but the directions for the edging has me completely lost. The more I read it the worse it gets. But I will say one thing my last major swimming lesson in the froggy pond was an amazing event. If anyone can get me back on the right track I whole heartedly know it is the women I have been knitting with on my journey across my Whidbey Island Prairie Shawl. So please if you have any advice on the lace edging let me know. Kimberly

No pictures of my Praire, but I have finally gotten 8 rows of the chart finished. My goal with this is to teach myself to read a chart and not rely on the written pattern. My mom says I punish myself on purpose. I think no  just trying to improve my skill set. But my mom may be right when I decide to do something I have never started with something easy. I want to learn to knit so i taught myself socks not  something flat. I want to quilt so i have something i can do with my mom picked a queen size quilt and all the pieces are set in curves. But i have done all the things in my life that way. I am the only one in my family that is that way. Maybe i am an alien from another galaxy. Well off I zoom to the Praire galaxy on my stitch marker mobile. Have a great day

This is my hand dyed that i did myself. I'm sorry it is not a great picture the colors are a deep marine blue with bits and pieces of  blue violet and violet. and all the sparkling tidbits of sterling. So now there is not too much of  cliff hanger anymore. I just know that the finished product will be wonderful. I cannot wait to start this amazing trip will all the new people and the one person I already know. Thanks to Kelli for letting the lace bug bite and to everyone else on this open road of fun.

Open roads and warm fires

New news in the air ~ a post by guest blogger Kimberly

Well my book has arrived and I love it more now than before. Saturday was a great day  I volunteered with the Ragnar Relay which I always have a blast doing you get to meet so many different people and meet a couple of ladies who knit that were runners. I got home and the book was there. And then on Sunday since it rained I decided to go to Crafter's Co-op in Oak Harbor and dye my yarn in there studio so no mess at my house. Now I have to wait for it to dry and then maybe you will have pictures. I hate waiting on drying times even if it is for the laundry. Hope the wait for the 31st goes quickly. Everyone have a great day

I have no picture to post today. But I have decided to use Kraemer Sterling and hand dye it but have not decided on the color. I am just pleased as peach that I have figured out how to post on the blog. Makes me want sugar cookies and milk.
