sweater in progress....

As promised - here is a picture of my sweater in progress. The lighting in the house is not great for taking a pic- will try to get a better one in a few days.
I have decided I really like the cables in this and the whole design.

Can't wait to get it done!

busy week

I have been spinning and knitting a bunch this week, Also have been putting things up on ebay too... My id on ebay is shellsfibers, and I have lots of new yarns up on the site too.
I have a goal to clean out the fiber in the basement- well maybe not clean out- how about just getting it all processed or washed and then ready to spin.
I will be getting a pic of my sweater I am currently working on. Thanks to a dear friend - I am trying to only work on one project (knitting) at a time. So far so good...but its a hard thing when I see the new magazines!
By the way- have you seen the beautiful scarve on the front of Vouge Knits Holiday??? Goodness I am having a problem keeping from starting it right now. Of course- that is the 'carrot" to finish this sweater!

what I did today - LOL

Was watch this branch fall from the tree. I had made several calls to Local Highway dept, and to city cops..but noone came...
















How would you like to see this part coming at your windshield??













So I called and sat out front watching the street so I could call 911 when and if an accident occured.
This is the spot it came down - thankfully noone was hurt - but it barely missed a car.



And the Local police have not yet stopped by to see the issue we had.


Wish the drug people would leave town - so we could devote them to things that are important to safty of city!!
