New living room rug

 I had made a living room rug to fix it front of the sofa about 35 years ago, and it was worn out, so I made a new one, using jelly rolls, turned out I think very nice.

light needs work

Since this is a test pattern, I'm going to be changing things in it when I do the actual pattern, as I found out I don't like the way some things are looking.  But below is a picture of what I've done so far 

I've started knitting on the Light House Ski hat following the pattern and chart that I made, I've done the grass, the hill and part of the lighthouse with some birds and clouds in it. I still have a lot go and there are a lot of threads I have to carry along behind the hat and will have to work them in when done.

Light House Ski Hat update needs picture

 I've started on my hat following the pattern and chart that finished.  I've done the grass, the hill and part of the lighthouse with some birds and clouds in it I still have a lot to go and there are a lot of thread ends I have to weave in when done, but it's starting to take shape

Light House Ski Hat

 I decided to make another ski hat, I'm going to use eyelash yarns, a fluffy white yarn, and regular colors to make it. I'm going to put a lighthouse in it on a brown and green grassy hill with birds and clouds in the sky. Below is a picture of the start of this, I have all the yarns and the needles and just need to work out the details on the pattern and write it out  because I drew it out first, the colors are brighter in the picture. I will up date you as I go. 

New Flannel shirt

I needed a warmer shirt and  I love the color Lavender, so I found some matching flannel material at JoAnn's and had fun making this shirt

Knitted Hats

 I like to knit hats, and found a way to knit them easier using the Sentro knitting machine. Below are a few I have made.  Most all are 130 rows. You can get the  machine on Amazon for about 46.00, which is what I paid for mine.
