My Dad Knits

Last Friday, Instead of meeting with my pals at Knitch.  I took Mikael to see The Power Rangers at The Mall of Georgia. He loved it! This was a free show, so Papa and Daddy loved it as well. He took three of his friends Jason,  Myles, and Price with him and they had a ball.

My Friend Dee gave me a special gift this week a clown snow globe. It plays "Send in the Clowns."

I will cherrish every moment with this globe.

This is my first experience felting and I am not sure if I like it. The texture is ok, but I am not sure on the dimensions. The pics didn't come out very good with the digital camera. I bought the handles and need to buy some lining fabric to finish it. But the width of the bag is longer than I expected.

I am still working on the never ending blanket.

Book Review

 This is a great purse book reference. It has some really great purse ideas with explicit instructions. Great book to have if you need to make a gift in a short amount of time.

These are the eyes that hold my sanity. It has been a hectic couple of weeks, but things are beginning to slow down between work and school. My kindergarten class is awesome and very smart. Mikael is enjoying school very much and doing very well. He loves his kindergarten teacher and his class very much.

I've still been meeting with my knitting group on Fridays at Knitch which has expanded their shop. This is the nicest knitting store in Atlanta. The group is always fun, interesting and resourceful. I am still shopping for a spinning wheel. Today, I went to Scott's Antique Show and  went  browsing to see if there were any old ones, but didn't have any luck.

Progress

I am still working on the never ending blanket. This is a good project to do while I am watching television, but it sure is getting heavy.

The raglan sweater is coming along I finished the back and a sleeve.

I've also started a purse from the Rowan Autumn/Winter 2006/2007

I am not putting all the dingleberries on it though. If any one has completed this project I sure would like your comments, or if you have a cool purse story. I am trying to get ahead on Hannukah/Christmas gifts.

I am off to get my haircut on Wednesday to celebrate the New Year.

 Happy Rosh,

Bert
