Finished Object

by

And, it’s PURPLE, too! Lest you think I have been totally wasting my time when I wasn’t posting . . . this is a cute kimono style sweater and hat I’ve finished for a dear young woman who is having her first baby - a girl - close to my birthday in January. My youngest daughter declared the hat looks like an eggplant! Maybe so, maybe so. I know it was fun to work up.

A fellow raveler gifted me with the purple yarn - Cascade Sierra - and I purchased the green from another raveler’s stash. I was soooooo excited when Ms. W came by my office and told everyone that “everything” was being done in purple . . . and I had this lovliness sitting in my stash just waiting for a project.

In my previous post I talked about the Christmas surprise one of the grandgirls and her bff would be receiving . . . the PINK has now been cast on, frogged, and cast on again. It looks like it’ll be a quick knit - I just need to sit down and work on it. Of course, I’m back here tonight because I do NOT want to be in front of the tv watching all the election hoo-hah.

Yeah, whatever . . . he won the election . . . blah, blah, blah . . . talk to me in a coupla years and we’ll see how y’all still like him, okay? And, THAT is as political as this entry is gonna get.

Hey, wanna meet the “bravest girl ever!”??? That Lessa . . . she makes me laugh! Out loud, even . . . and I don’t mean just in an lol way, either. ;)

    I love the royal purple! Whoot! I’m like Linda, though. I need some boy stuff patterns.

    As for the election…um…I’m not going to apologize (you talked about “I’m sorry” elsewhere). Maybe in a couple of years you’ll like him?

    Sorry I haven’t been a good visitor. I’m trying harder.

About Knitting Passion

Is knitting really a passion? On THIS blog it is - for all who come here. Blog entries will be made up of patterns, photos of in-progress or completed work - off the wall discussions about whatever tickles the author's fancy (Survivor Knitting anyone?). This can be as much YOUR blog as it is the current author's. Questions will be entertained and answers sought diligently. Comments are always welcome - and information ALWAYS appreciated. Will there be stories and pictures of the stash of yarn or the duplicated knitting needles? Will there be more off the wall ideas for knitting? Will there be original patterns or freebies cited? Only the dark of night and the author's amount of caffeine or sleep can determine that.

Ready? ONE - TWO - GET SET - KNIT!
