i am a woman posessed...


posessed is the right word...
now i am only 5 rows short of finishing my ripple..i can't stop..
the hook has a mind of it's own...
any excuse throughout the day...i sit and ripple...
then a beautiful friend brought me a distraction...
some vintage liberty tana's..
soooooo.....
i' have' to finish ripple so i can start sewing again ...
i am missing it just a tad lately ...
but i can't tear myself away from ripple...
so i am on a mission ...
i should have ripple finished this week ...
hmmnn....have to think about an edging??
then on to the liberties...

hooky madness...

a little... no ...a lot... of hooky madness in my abode at the moment..
you see i am going back to teaching this week...
i have not taught for a while now and have decided to have a class for crochet..a combined effort with my friend danielle...we will have a ball..i'm sure..
we will be teaching a flower class this friday at calicoandivy...
and....my ripple is nearing completion..geez it's heavy...
so off i will trot to hook some more...i am so enjoying diving into my wool stash to retrieve little lost..[at least they thought they were]...balls of yarn ..some of which were the original rowan dk yarns..these guys sure have the best colors i have ever seen..
toodleoo...

claim to fame...

hello ...
i had a wonderful surprise happen to me this week..
the new selvedge magazine came out and one of my liberty blocks appeared on the affiliates page advertising calico and ivy..
to say i was thrilled is a bit of an understatement...
you can read about it alittle more on the calico and ivy blog..
'the quilt' has been such a wondrful journey and so many people have come into my life because of it.... this quilt does have soul...and i thank each and everyone of them from the bottom of my heart...

happy easter..

happy easter to one and all..
the break does you good surrounded by family and lots of get togethers..
but with lots of [ha ha ] time hanging around the home...one has to start a new project..
this scarf is a sample for work and knit in the most delicious yarn ever ..
and the color..as sort of cardinal purple..
and my rosewood needles..i love my rosewoods..
i should finish off today..that means i have knit 325 yards in 3 days..not bad
i have also been ripplin.. but my grandaughter keeps claiming it..
wherever she is the blankie follows..
i might have to make a SMALLER one especially for her...
hope the hook lasts out..
