I'm Crocheting...

New Storage Solution

I recently kept hearing about storage problems with yarn and it has my head thinking, I may just need to go there some time really soon. LOl But in the meantime I did get an idea for a storage unit for the chicklets school stuff. I love it and got the three main bookcases at Ikea for less than 60 dollars apiece. It serves as a place by my backdoor where we can organize things for the girls for school and also for mailing and delivery. Here is the pic. JoyB

Prayers for Idget

As many of you know, Our precious baby Idget ( or Idgie as we call him) was hit by a car on Saturday and no one stopped. The girls brought the kitten in to tell me it was bleeding and we rushed it to the vet. Long story short. It has a possible skull fracture, a serious concussion and mulitple other injuries. The fabulous people at the Carlton Vet Clinic came in to see him and took care of him for the first night and most of the next day. I got him home last night and he seems to be doing ok. He is eating and drinking but is still in some pain and leaning either right or left depending on his movements. He tends to want to fall off things so I have been spending most of my days on the bed with him knitting and petting him. He is still active enought to want to steal or eat my yarn as it moves past his field of vision towards my needles. LOL. Here is the first pic of him at home. Hugs. JoyB

Finally gettin caught up on KALs

Here are pics of the two latest Dishcloth KALs we did on Shirley's group. I hope to have pics of the placemats etc from our Kitchen KAL soon. The first pic is a teapot designed by Lisa of DigknittyDesigns and the second was a wonderful ghost done just in time for Halloween by our own Amy_Lynne of Froggiez Place. Enjoy. JoyB

Guess who came to visit..

Yep it is my adorable Grandson, Jacob. Mom brought him by between downpours and he needed a coat so I went and got him a coat and 2 pairs of pajamas. He was not happy that he could not find Gramma's yarn to play in so he settled for a rerun of Sponge BOB LOL Here is the pic.. JoyB

It's Starting To Look Like A Hat..

OK so many of you have been asking what I am currently working on so I thought I would share my latest. Here it is... The Simple Cabled Hat. This is the pattern that Kim suggested we do and we worked on during our last visit. I am loving the way it is turning out but I must say that I would do the next one in a single strand of bulky yarn instead of the double strands of worsted weight that I chose. The twists on the cables are murder to knit but I will not give up LOL!!! Hugs, JoyB
