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! :)

Do not do business with Blogvertise! They offer you money to post about companies and then don't pay. They find fault with it. Bloggers for pay beware!

Fire socks

knit with Smooshy.. the pattern is called friendship sock but reminds me of flames..
I was commissioned to knit these and then the customer did not want to pay the price.  what do they expect? walmart prices???
I finished my cotton Sockina socks but they are drying so have no picture yet. the self striping yarn didn't match so I wrote the company and they sent me 2 skeins of yarn for my trouble!  Trekking XXL and some yarn with Aloe and jojoba!  yummy soft.
