Frou Frou Gypsy in Combat Boots

a while back i mentioned that DH and i had picked up knitting. well....we have become obsessed! above is his first project. He made that lovely scarf for ME! Ain't he sweet? this raspberry beauty is my first "real" project, meaning i knitted a lot and ripped out a lot of stitches before i settled down enough to finish anything other than a "test" or a scarf for one of my webkinz! This is #2 for DH. All for him this time! made with "manly yarn!" I had to pick myself up off the floor from laughing when he said that! and finally, my second project, a prayer shawl. I have no idea what makes this any different than a regular shawl, that is just what the pattern called it. I do know i was wearing it on NYD when we wen to the ER and as i knotted each strand of fringe sitting there waiting, i prayed for my DD to be ok! I am so new to this knitting stuff that i really know very little. I used lion brand homespun yarn for this. I have to tell you. I didn...

I hope everyone has had a great Christmas and is looking forward to a bright new year ....it will be here in just 14 hours! I can't believe it. We are just hangin' around the house today waiting on DH to get off work. We are going to my BFF's house tonight for Chinese take out and fireworks....a tradition now! the kids love it! I have picked up knitting in the past few weeks, as has DH, and i think we are both consumed! It is crazy! We look like little old people sitting on the sofa knitting watching TV. Hopefully i will be back blogging soon with lots of pictures to show and fun things to tell. happy new year!
