I started this blog several years to make a record of some of the things that I have stitched whether it be knit, sewing or cross stitch. I also like to come up with ideas for gifts for family members. I also have included some of my writing but not all of it. Just a little rambling sometimes. When I was a child I loved to visit my great aunt in Somerset Kentucky. So many wonderful memories come back when I think of that time.

What I am working on now
I have been working very diligently on a sweater and pants set for a special child that is to born next month. I had trouble finding yarn to be able to complete the blanket so it will be a complete set but as soon as I am finished I will be posting pictures.

This is a picture of the Christmas stockings that I made for my grandsons. I got the original pattern from http://www.chemknits.com/2010/09/kab-stocking-pattern.html for the dragon and then changed the pattern to make the snowman. This is the first time that I knitted a sock with an afterthought heel. It was much easier than a normal heel. I will try on my next pair of socks. I understand that they wear longer than other heels and they are easy to replace if they do become worn. Please ignore the date stamp on the picture I always forget to change the date.
