Wow Three Rainbows In One Week

Wow, I can't believe that I've seen 3 rainbows in one week. Can you see the double rainbow here? As I drove home you could see the end of the rainbow in the bushes. My son Austin said I was driving to fast and to slow down so that we could find the pot of gold. It looked like you could reach out and touch it. This picture was taken Wed. and the bottom picture was taken Thurs. I can't wait to see what the sky has to offer today. There are some clouds out...we will see!

You maybe able to see a tiny glimpse of a sun dog here. To the left. It didn't last long. The sky lately has been just beautiful. I wish I could spin the clouds into yarn and knit me up a sky blanket!

My Knitting Foible is Fixed!

The first picture is what it is suppose to look like. The second picture is where you can see my foible.  As some would say it is my enhancement. Oh I forgot to tell you I also lost my pattern so on top of it all i had to get another copy of it and figure out what row I was on. Mercy!! Well I have done a few more rows and I must say the mistake is hardly noticeable. I want to thank Barry for holding my hand as I cried trying to figure this out. I am glad I moved some stitches around and put the right amount on and that it didn't affect the pattern. Thanks Barry for really being there for me. (and for not laughing at me) No more knitting lace in the dark with a tiny light on for me.

Cumberland Falls was beautiful. I was able to get a picture of a rainbow from the water splashing into the air and the sun hitting it just right. You can see a moonbow during full moons there. Too bad there isn't a full moon or we would stay to try and see it. Enjoy the view.

I am freaking out. I dropped 2 stitches in my lace knitting I almost cried but I didn't want the guy next to me on the plane to think I was crazy. I don't know what to do. I put the stitches back on but I don't know if the right amount of stitches is right. HELP.

Sometimes I Yearn For Box Stores

Yes, I've been knitting about 2 hours every night to try and get this knitting project finished. I had no idea lace knitting took so long to do. Yuck!! I must try larger needles!!! Anyway, this project is for someone special, so I am only showing a tiny portion of the item. I only have 30 more inches to go.

Alright, Sometimes designers should quit their day jobs. I mean seriously whoever wove this fabric..... Ummm it is non-appealing. This is a cushion for the booth for a table that we bought. Well as you can imagine I couldn't put up with this, so I decided to get rid of this fabric and make a new cushion cover.

I know this isn't a very good picture, it was taken at night. The light in my house is better during the day.

It may look like these cushions were easy to make, but I was longing for a box store that already had cushion covers that were pre-made. It was a pain!!! But, The finished product sure looks professional. I don't mean to brag, but it does look better than what it did before.

Once I figured out how to sew this cover I was on my way. It didn't take that long to sew up. It was just the initial figuring out that took many hours.

Here is the close up of the fabric. It is almost a quilted fabric with textured stitching. I like it  better than the original fabric.

I've only got 2 more cushions, and 4 throw pillows to make. I may make place mats with the leftover fabric, I'll just have to wait and see if I bought enough fabric. This sewing project was a nice change of pace, the lace knitting is going so slow that I was getting bored with it. The break was nice.

There Is Something In The Sky

This morning I saw a halo around the sun as it was waking up. It was beautiful. I've been on a hunt to see the different Atmospheric Optics in the sky.

Here is a web site that shows you different Halos  According to this site I may see a sun dog later today around sun set. As long as the clouds cooperate. We will see.

This halo looks like an eyeball. I needed a wider camera. It was difficult to take this photo because I couldn't look in the camera to take the pic because I would be looking at the sun. I think I am addicted to looking at the sun now. Well not directly at the sun, I think you know what I mean. I wonder if I could knit one of these pic of the sun? :) Have fun looking.

And The Winners Are.......

Well we all know Cheryle won one wallet. Here are the other winners. Yes I said other winners. I did the random.org random number generator and it was so much fun that I wanted to see what other number would pop up. It was exciting so I did it again. And I did it again. I picked three numbers. I was going to do it again then realized I am already making 4 wallets to give away, so I should keep it at that.  Without further ado The winners are in the order of random.org      Two Cables and a Frapp!!!!!!

Last night I was at work and they were training new girls for the show that I am in. I was a Tech and had some down time to just sit as the girls rehearsed. So I took this opportunity to knit. I almost finished the daisy cozy.

I can't wait to make me a daisy cozy. It was a nice break from the other project I've been working on since Feb. 16th. I will post a pic of it in Ravelry if anyone is interested in seeing it. Other wise I will post it when I am finished with it.

I also have fabric choices for the wallets here. The other wallet you can see the different colors I can do. I can do just one color or two or all. It is up to the winners.

Cell phone cozies!!

Here is another cell phone cozy for my friend Carolyn. It is going to have a daisy on it. I needed a small break from another project I am making. I hope to have enough yarn left over to make me one. I love daisies!!

This is a cell phone cozy I made for Eli's wife. It is made from the yarn that I used to weave her bag .
