Test Knitting

I am test knitting again!  I did some free testing for a couple of designers on Ravelry and now have found my dream designer!  She sends me fantastic yarn and the pattern to test. I send one sock back for pictures, then it comes back to me. The yarn and the items I knit are mine to keep or to sell. She has given me permission to sell the items! I am knitting with some wonderful yarn right now. Skinny Bugga.... merino, cashmere and nylon. mmmmm so wonderful.
I feel so blessed.

I won!

WOW! I entered a contest at KnitPurlGirl's site to win a set of Knitters Pride interchangeables from WEBS and I won!  It is a set of the Dreamz interchangeables size 4-11, case, cables and connectors. I am so blessed!

I am KNITTING!!!!

Finally after almost 2 years I can finally knit pain free!  I am so thankful to Jesus Christ for healing me!  I have been knitting almost everyday without pain and am tickled pink!  Joy Joy Joy!!!

I picked up an entrelac shawl I started in 2009 and have made much progress on it. I am on my last ball of Lighthouse Waves yarn from Herrschners and need to get some more.  I am debating about driving over there and spending gas money or paying shipping.  :)

Anyway I am a once again happy knitter and checking out ravelry.com again.  ;)

Spinning but not Knitting

Progress!  I can spin now without pain. I haven't tried knitting for a few months.  Something in the way I hold my needles irritates my wrist.  I am happy that I can spin though. I can get a good stash built up for when my wrist co-operates!

I spun this skein during the SuperBowl!
The color is called Orchard, purchased from A Knitting Duck

be blessed \0/

Merry CHRISTmas!

May the Father above bless you and yours this CHRISTmas and your New Year.

I am still not knitting. I tried to pick up where I was in some entrelac and forgot how. :(

still not knitting

I am very frustrated that I can not knit yet. My wrist is not getting any better and now my right wrist is starting to fall asleep. I can't even spin now. typing is not easy either. ugh ugh ugh...

I know I am healed by His Stripes and am waiting on the Lord to bring it to fruition.

Not KNitting yet

I am still not knitting. My fingers still get numb. I believe it is healed but is taking time to strengthen and I don;t want to irritate the nerves. I have fallen behind in my entrelac lessons and will not get Christmas gifts done. I can spin a bit but even take that easy.

So what have I been doing with my free time? LOL decorating many houses in Yoville on Facebook. hahahahaha

Knitalongs

Wow, I haven't posted in a long time! Life is busy these days as I temporarily moved in with my daughter and son-in-law to babysit my grand daughters. I have not stopped knitting but find rare moments to knit uninterrupted. I bought Barbie Knits and will be doing small scale items to keep the Barbies here dressed! I am currently knitting Mr. Foster from KnitPicks.com and joined the knitalong. I am also doing the Different Ways to Entrelac knitalong by Gwen Bortner. and of course there are socks on the needles... doing 2 at a time to make them the same.... not as easy task when you might have to drop your knitting to rescue something from a 3 year old!

Someone actually offered to buy my domain name! NeedleWerks.com how cool is that.. but Show me the money! :)
