Tikvah Shawl Beginning

Well not sure which yarn I want to use to knit up this next shawl. This is the Tikvah Shawl. It is so beautiful. I was thinking I would use one of the Storied yarns for this project, but I don't know which yarn I would use on that one either. Therefore, I decided to knit this shawl twice. Also this shawl will be knit up at my leisure. I don't want to knit it under pressure like the last one I did. I am under no time limits on this one. My Storied yarns will be here soon. I can't wait to knit those either!

Yarn Food and A Backpack

Yeah!! It is here. Grapes of Wrath!!! The picture doesn't do the beautiful purples justice. Thanks Jess!!
I got this beautiful skein from Storied Yarn  this is her blog. Here is her Etsy site. She does color ways of books and characters. I just love them because I feel as if the yarn is telling a story.

I know I should be finishing up another project, but I had to see how the colors look. This is going to be a basic Triangle Garter Stitch Shawl. I love it. The yarn is very soft as well. Thanks Jess!!

Well, if anyone lives near a Culinary School you should check and see if they do a buffet at some point during the year. At Valencia's culinary school their final exam was this wonderful feast!!
My wonderful friend Jill is one of the amazing students that attend this school. The food was amazing!!! I am not bias, but Jill's Tourane (I probably spelled Tourane wrong) was the best!! All of the food was super yummy!! Then they had a dessert room!!!!

This is another friend of mine (coincidentally) Janine. Yes I have two friends that just so happen to be attending this school. I kept asking Janine if she met Jill yet and I asked Jill if she met Janine yet.  After about a year they finally met. She is in the Pastry Dept. I was in sugar heaven!!!
Words cannot describe all the amazing foods I tried that day. Thanks Jill for inviting me and my Dad into your world of Culinary School. If you need to practice and need extra taste buds, I am here for you sister!!!

So my wonderful Hubby bought some backpacks. They were huge!!

So I was trying to figure out what we could possible put into these bags and how heavy could we pack them. Well as you can see.... these packs will hold children.
Only problem now is they want to ride in them every night now. Hmmm maybe I can make a new exercise video and become rich and infamous.

My Baby Wrap Pattern

Here is a preview to my next pattern: It is a baby wrap!!!! You can wrap your baby up in this light organic cotton yarn from Bernat and be close to your pride and joy. I couldn't take a photo of the length of the wrap, it was to long. It is the same width the length of the wrap except the ends. Because I live in Florida, I wanted to make the stitches bigger so that air could get through. I am writing the pattern up as I go. If you click on the picture, you can see it better. The color in the photo is tricking my eyes. I have been working on this for quite some time. I can only work on this at work or if Barry is driving. I am making another woven bag similar to my other bag and I can only work on that one at home. So my knitting goes away at home. I will post a photo of my wrap when I am finished, then post a link to get the pattern. I think it would make an awesome baby gift. Moms love these types of baby carriers, slings, or wraps.
I can't believe I haven't posted the pictures of the beautiful yarn Cindy gave me. This ball here comes from Indiana. I love the rich deep colors. I can't wait to make a pair of socks with it.

This next ball is so soft and yummy. It comes from the beautiful country of Greece. This yarn is from Cindy as well. I think it is a 50 gram ball. I will need some help. I don't know what to make with it. I only have one ball and I want to make many different things with it. Can you suggest anything? What would you make if you could only make one item with this pretty yarn?


Thank you Cindy for the wonderful yarn. I love you and can't wait to see you!!!
