life goes on... just not much knitting

Photography has captured my attention lately... but ironically... I have no pictures to share.

I did finished the hat, but was unhappy with top. I have no clue what happened. I don't think the instructions in the book were clear - at least not to a beginner like me, which annoys me. I find lots of patterns that say they are for beginners, but assume you know way more than a beginner would know. Esp. someone who is math-challenged like myself. I find that extremely frustrating. ... sorry for the rant. But I still plan to make a matching scarf. It'll be ribbed, I think. I'd have started it by now, but I just don't have the needles in the size I want to use.

Anyway...hope everyone is staying cool this summer!

Meanwhile, build your stash by visiting here. Lots of nice stuff there. I have yet to buy yarn elsewhere 'cause he keeps distracting me with one-of-a-kind products and my yarn budget can only go so far. That Dave - quite the stash/yarn enabler. :D

ttfn!

    I know what you mean about patterns. I have the same problem. I can only handle the simples, most straight forward patterns. I have NO trouble designing my own stuff, though. Just don't ask for the pattern. lol
    Oh, there's alsmot no yarn left. You bought most of it. ;)
