Our Troops Need our Help
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: March 24, 2007
I came upon this website www.sewmuchcomfort.org reading another blog. This does not pertain to knitting (at this time) but to those of you that sew. It’s making or altering clothing that our soldiers need while in rehab, etc. Can entail just adding velcro to a side seam of shorts, sweatpants, etc. Please check it out [...]
Charity knitting
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: March 24, 2007
Starla, owner of Crafty Hands, is putting up another sweater that Monday’s Charity Knitting group has completed. She furnishes the yarn and needles and we just stop in and knit on a Monday whenever we can. At Christmas time a lot of sweaters, scarves and hats were donated to a local women’s shelter. Makes us [...]

This picture shows Holly and Patsy from Crafty Hands working on “my mess”. Sukie (the blonde) is trying to oversee this project.
Have started another pair of socks, actually more like a short golf sock. Actually, I’ve started it 4 times as of this morning!!! Using the new Tofutsies yarn, very pretty and soft.
I guess today [...]

These are the first socks I’ve knitted!!! I’m so proud of them that I might just put them in a shadow box instead of wearing them. The pattern is from Patons Classics Happy Feet, No. 7, Child’s Ribbed Classics. Yes, they are for me, I have a small foot. The yarn is GGH Marathon. It [...]

So cute!!! Another pair of Bethany booties that I wasn’t going to post, but the picture is just too cute!!! Aren’t they feminine in pink? Pattern is from the Berocco website, free.
Helpful hint – wish I had thought of this earlier
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: March 18, 2007
I’m working on a baby cardigan in self-striping sock yarn. Pattern is easy! However, I wish I would have combined the right front, back, and left front on a circular needle until decreasing for the sleeves. That way the stripe matches around the body of the sweater. Oh, well, now that I have the back [...]

Have been to Tucson, AZ and back! Takes me forever to get caught up the older I get.Visited 4 yarn shops while there. The two yarn shops in Tucson were a major disappointment to Velma and I. Not much variety and not much inventory. I understand it gets hot in Tucson but the evenings you [...]
Sofi goes to knitting class
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: March 17, 2007
Took Sofi (5 mos. old Morkie) to knitting one day for class. After wandering all over the top of the table, she settled down and fell asleep on my red felted bag. Cute, huh? She loves laying on this bag even at home. Guess that’s a hint to make her a felted pillow with her [...]
Luxurious cape
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: March 17, 2007
Am posting a few pictures of a project that was completed last fall for Velma’s granddaughter. She was in her uncle’s wedding and grandma Velma thought she needed this cape in case it was cool. Keep in mind, Velma knits! Only a true friend would be sucker enough to say “sure I’ll make it for [...]

- Ah….life in the fast lane November 10, 2009At least that’s how I like to think of it! Things have been testy around the house since the bionic man got a new knee. Seems like we’ve had lots of repairmen, which ultimately leads to lots of barking. Derby, our found on the streets of Nashville dog, absolutely cannot help himself when it comes to [...]keepingyouinstitches
- A new and colorful knee! October 24, 2009Tuesday (and this is Saturday) Mark got a new knee; it’s getting more and more colorful! Came home Thursday and trotted him off to rehab on Friday morning. Coloring goes pretty much around the whole knee….wowee! Or maybe I should say owie! Staples come out Nov. 3 and yes, there will be documentation of that too; most [...]keepingyouinstitches
- Very technologically challenged….oh yes, I am October 18, 2009For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out how I was receiving voice mails on my cell phone when it was sitting right next to me! This has been going on for about a week now. Lo and behold, there’s a tiny button on the side of the iphone that if it gets moved, mutes [...]keepingyouinstitches
- Hubby getting new knee………finally! October 17, 2009OK, readers, it’s Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday is new knee day for hubby. He’s already commented a couple of times what a long week-end this will be; add the cold, crappy weather that is predicted, and it will be even longer. I’m trying to play cruise director in making plans that will keep him busy. So [...]keepingyouinstitches
- Generic vs. generic drugs October 13, 2009I’m so fortunate to have health insurance…..some would call it good health insurance. However, today I received a letter from the insurance company stating that the drug I take for acid reflux is now going to be re-classified and will have a high cost…oh, wait, “cost may increase” are the actual words. How absolutely dumb do [. […]keepingyouinstitches
