I can't believe that it is Wendsday already!! Ack! I swear I mean to update more often, but time has just been flying by. With DH's new schedule, homeschooling and trying to adjust, I keep forgetting to post, even though I mean to.
Anyway, I seem to have finally gotten over my fiber block, and ideas for items from socks to shawls are multiplying rapidly in my skull. However, before I get to any of those, I have to finish up some of the UFO's around here. I have been working on the diagonal scarf a lot, while feeling guilty that I am not working on the cabled cardigan for my MIL. I know it will be no time before it will be cold enough to wear the cabled sweater, so I really should be working on it, but I haven't really had time to devote to it. It takes a bigger block of time to get re-oriented on it and make progress than I have had lately. So I work on the scarf.....
and I do some spinning......
I love that top skein. I carded some cranberry, hot pink and purple together, and that is what happened. It was lots of fun and a good short diversion from the ongoing lace weight singles spinning.
In other news, Reagan and I made a trip to Hobby Lobby last Friday, where baskets were half off. So we both got a "knitting" basket.
Mine...
Reagan's.....
Reagan also got a skein of really really fat yarn to knit with. She has really been knitting, everywhere, all the time. It's a guaranteed that if I get out my knitting, she goes and gets out hers, and if I get out the Minstrel, she goes and gets the Ashford traditional and gives it a go. She doesn't quite get it yet, but she's getting there. Anyway, she also got a copy of the Mary Frances Knitting and Crocheting Book on sale for $3.66. She seems to really be enjoying it, or at least moving the book mark around every so often. This is her most recent "project"
She seeketh wool and flax and worketh willingly with her hands. --Proverbs 31:13

Okay, so how did you get your girl interested in knitting? I can't even get mine to sit down for 5 minutes to try.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!
Jolie and I LOVED our felted purses! They are so special because you made them but beyond that, they are gorgeous! I have already had several comments and envious looks. You are soooo talented and I am thankful to have you as a SIL and to receive such a thoughtful, beautiful gift. You rock girl!
My two older daughters are both doing a little knitting here and there when they're at my house - I don't push them - they'll continue developing an interest if it's meant to be. But oh when they see the spinning I know they'll want to at least TRY that!!
Your diagonal lace scarf is just beautiful!! The longer it gets the more I like it!
The baskets are wonderful. I love to see the things Regan is knitting. Soon she'll have to have her own blog to showcase her personal work.
I sooooo LOVE that cranberry, pink, and purple yarn you put together!!
The baskets are fabulous looking, and look like they'd hold a lot of yarn!
Regan's knitting is looking great! I think it's sweet that everytime you get yours out she get's hers too. Something that can help make fond memories in the years to come I am sure!
Oops...forgot to mention that the scarf is looking fabulous. It looks so soft!
