Just musing along

Hi all:)

  I was just sitting here at 6:30 in the morning ( because hubby woke me up, and now he's a sleep!) And I was wondering what you all where doing? I was playing with my pics and thought I would show you my pics of my Valentine afghan I made. One of the pics is of my dear hubby Terry covered with it and another is me holding it up. I just thought you might like to take a look at my afghan. I want to make an afghan for every season. I need one for the fall. Ill have to get to looking for a pattern. If you have a suggestion plesae speak right on up!

  I dont have a clue on what to do but crochet this early in the morning. But Im still in the process of making stockings for the troops at http://hooksngrannies.com/. Please take your time and go check out their site. Its a wonderful crochet for charity group of ladies. And a really cool site!

  Well folks, I better get to going and start crocheting. The hooks wont do it alone:) Have a great day!

Adding a pic to my profile

People:)

  I have spent most of the day today trying to figure out how to add a pic to my Profile box:( I cannot figure it out. My pics as you can see (up above here)is on AOL Albums but when I go to put them on I have no idea what the address to them is! Why cant they make it as easy as it is to add pics to my journal pages....why I ask you why? LOL Oh well I really need to get back to crocheting  instead of playing with this journal page.

  Ive been continuing my quest of christmas stockings. I am on a roll now. Now Im coming up with patterns of my own. I really should write it down and put it here if anyone is interested. Let me know and Ill do it!

  Have a very blessed day and Ill chat with you again later:)

Finally my knitting project

Well I promised you a look at my attempt at knitting. Well here it is. As you can see I have not gotten very far with it. Ive had to frog stitch it out several times. And it was not easy using the mohair type yarn I choose to use. But I have learned nothing else but how to do the frog stitch:) I plan on finishing this in the next 2 weeks if I can. My teacher says if I finish this then I can attempt to make a pair of socks. Yipee! I cant wait.

  Well hubby is calling so Ive got to run now. Have a great day!

Knitting a cap

Well, Im learning to knit a cap using circular needles. This is what my teacher wants me to do before I learn to knit socks. So Im struggling to do this cap,

  Im using pink somewhat mohair yarn. So far I have done the ribbing. I have done 2 rows of the pattern and just learned I have done the wrap stitch all wrong... now Im learning the frog stitch:) Im learning very well that this mohair kinda yarn is hard to frog.

  Ill take a pic the next time on here so you can see my progress. Have a blessed day!
