Los Angeles

During a training break, I turned around and see this beautiful building. This old buildings decor is just amazing and I had to post a picture. The blue sky and green trees make picture even better.

Located in Los Angeles, California Washington BLVD 

Crochet

Tonight is crochet night. Thursday, late evening and I am finishing up a "Changing Table Blanket" for an infant. I am just adding the border. As a social worker, it can be diffucult to relax in the evening.

 

Saturday Night

Knitters addiction - do you haul your project everywhere? I do. My yarn travels many miles and has a story for every line. What's your story? 

 

"Lowes" is here

I started my second pair of socks, excited! Here is a sneak preview of the beautiful yarn. The name came from my favorite NASCAR driver 48 Jimmie Johnson sponsored by Lowes.

Are you confused?

Do you ever have people ask "What are you crocheting" when knitting or vice verse? Do you give them the look with a smart answer, "Its knitting." I do, so I wanted to share this comic. ;) happy yarning!

Where are you?

Vacation, work, family, and physical fitness have kept me busy and exhausted. I have continued my knitting and will be starting my second pair of socks. Here is preview of the yarn. I bought it from my local yarn store for $18 but the have it at www.webs.com for $14.95. 75% virgin wool and 25% polymide, machine washable 460yds

 

I am excited to start a new pair.  

Sandia (Watermelon Socks)

I've been making progress with my first try with socks, magic-loop, toe up. I also have a habit of naming my projects. So these are my sandias, Spanish word for watermelon. The yarn was purchased at one of my local yarn stores "Twist" www.twistyarns.com The yarn is tough love sock, 80% superwash merino wool and 20%nylon. The yarn is dyed by sweetgeorgia yarns.

I've decided to give this blog a makeover. I have deleted all my prior posts and will be starting from 0. I've come to realize, I am not only interested in yarn, hooks, crochet and knitting, but also art, craft projects, music, books, cooking, and fitness. I will post miscellaneous topics and hope this new journey will take me on a new adventure and reaching new friends around the world. Why not?! I am also starting a new workout regiment 05/13/2013 and will be posting pictures of that. I am really excited and hoping I will be able to commit.
