I am back!

Life went crazy for a while with my husband have a lot of work stress and hence a decision to relocate back To AZ.

We found a house with a 1,000 sq ft studio, okay it was originally a home theatre.  The wonderful husband said it was all mine but I honestly can't use that much space so I am sharing with my girls.

With the mention of my girls comes the next change in our lives...... At 45 I got the surprising news that I am pregnant!!,!?  So no at 19 weeks and all in well in that department.

Now a days my husband has been seen to smile and the girls are settling into their new schools.

That's enough of life.

In the process of moving and now unpacking the boxes I have realized that it is time to set a goal of using what I have and finishing projects.  Hence over the next however long the only new project allowed in this house is my Sue Spargo block of the month.

This is the back of a sweater from Vogue Knitting Early Fall call Textured Top.  I am using Rowan belle organic Aran which is a lovely soft wool cotton blend.

Painterly

Just finished blocking my new shawl that I have been knitting over the last couple of months inbetween other projects. The pattern is called Painterly out of Artwork Designs in Magnolia published by Classic Elite Yarns. I knitted in Berroco Vintage DK .

Final posting for the year

I have been indulging in some knitting for myself the last few weeks.  A shawl from the booklet Artwork by Classic Elite Yarn the pattern is called Painterly and is knitted in two parts with a centre pattern and then an added border.  I am still working on the centre.

This morning I have also been working on my Sue Spargo promegranite runner.  I finished another leafe using some couching, french knots to highlight the fabric and then a chain stitch using an overdye with a touch of blue to bring in some more of the Tucson colours that I love.

Also started on the leaf above using a combo stitch of a fly and lazy daisy.  This I found from a fellow stitcher on the spargo2011bom yahoo group by Carol.

Heres wishing you all a wonderful New Year with plenty of time to do a bit of what you love.
