I am going to be out of town tomorrow for most of the day so I will do a quick announcement for the give away first thing in the morning before I take off. I need to drive to visit my mom and take her to a medical check up appointment. Little sis usually takes care of this kind of thing but she is under the weather and I’m her back up 
I had planned on visiting soon anyhow so this decided what day to go. Mom is two hours away from me and bad luck is that it is supposed to rain tomorrow so driving will not be fun – nor will getting the wheelchair in and out of the car! But needs to be done.
I managed to get 3 more blocks done last night – it seems like it is always 3 blocks before I quit! Maybe that means I can finish the last block and two triangles for Row K tonight? Hope so.
Row K block #'s 11 and 10
Row K block #12 - little blurry sorry about that.
I told you all awhile back that I wanted to learn to knit – well today after stopping by the library for a couple books I ran over to the knit shop to talk to the friendly ladies and see what they had. After talking to them I decided to make a simple scarf for winter first. I need to learn how to read a knitting pattern & instruction and just a general run through to brush up on knit, purl and get the technique going. I have knitted in the past but it was years ago (unless you count the one attempt I made about 3 years ago when a shawl kind of turned out looking like an afghan LOL – really). I learned basic knitting back in high school and we don’t want to remember how long ago that was!! Kind of getting close to 40 years — OMG — has it been that long LOL I can’t believe it, it seems like just yesterday!
the pretty blue variegated yarn and the supplies needed. Also with this scarf pattern are fingerless gloves, a hat and leg warmers -- people still use leg warmers? thought those went out years ago. Actually I liked a different hat that was displayed in the shop and if the scarf turns out I might give the hat a try.
