Chocolate…on my mind & needles

Lillys Dark Chocolate candy & Cocoa on my needles;

Two color long tail cast on

Another way of casting on knitting (in the round) using two different color skeins of yarn. called two color cast-on.  No waste of yarn or trying to estimate how much yarn to use for the cast-on. I like using two colors to make baby hats. I’m also on a roll making my multi-colored Granny Square Crochet baby

Hello April!

Flowers = Spring time! Enjoying the milder temps (in the 40’s today)… some are still wearing coats! I did look a little cray walking around in short sleeves, no jacket this weekend. 🙂 Crocheting and knitting baby items for charity… using pretty Spring colors!    

Shades of Pink…

  It’s Peony Season and we get to enjoy the vibrant colors and fragrance of this beautiful bright Fushia flower. Working on another Pink Pussy Hat, using #8 needles. This amazing color is “Manic Pink”. I love working with this soft extra fine merino wool = luxurious.

Fall Season

  I love Autumn.   Here in NY we did not see the usual bursting colors of bright Gold or Red leaves this year – not enough cool weather nor rain. But, it’s Fall. I started a nice cozy, bulky cowl ,in this beautiful Green. Housed in my new Sheep project bag. I’m using #11

In the oven & on my needles!

  Spring is in the air in NY! After a nice Sunday morning walk, it’s knitting & cooking for the rest of the day. I’m making a few meals, for the week – including roasted chicken and turkey meatloaf. 1 lb of ground Turkey – you can make a larger loaf with more Turkey. Add 1 medium onion,
