Not knitting but totally funny!!!

My nearly 3yr old decided to cut her hair with a pair of scissors I bought for my Anna for school!! You just have to see the pics. It's not that noticeable from the front, but the side view is to die for!!

Scarves, scarves and more scarves

I've been going crazy knitting scarves for Cathy. She loved hers so much (I gave her one for Christmas last year) that she wanted me to make her more to give out as gifts. I used Patons SWS for a couple of them, Vanna's Choice for some and my wip is made with Paton's wool (I just love the natural color!). Needless to say, I've been keeping my needles a clacking and my hands a smackin' LOL.

On to the pics:

Knitting pals

I just have a bunch of girls that love knitting!!! I taught my niece, who has been with us for a bit this summer, and 3 of my girls knit, yet 2 of them are a little rusty. You have to see us on the couch knitting...it's so cool!

Here is Ashley and Angelina knitting
away (I stopped so I can take the picture LOL)

Here we go again

Here I am again...I am the owner of "the knitter within" but I can't get in. The email addy is deactivated so here we are.

I'm Barb, sahm to 6 kids, a boy and 5 girls. I have been married for 10 years and life is just peachy. I also have bipoar, so life is interesting to say the least. I have been knitting for about 4yrs, crocheting for 25. I just love knitting now, I crochet sometimes, but knitting is my passion.

Now onto the juicy stuff.

This is a dress I knit for Lainy for her kindergarten orientation. I used the pattern from "Soulful Hues and Hobbies" here on blogspot and made it into a dress. I just need to make the i cord to tie it into a bow. This is knit out of Moda Dea Metro. It was tough to work with, but I'm happy with how it came out...and Lainy is too!
