Where Hands Create.

Yep, I bet the title of this blog drew you right in...  Am I right?!    Heck, it would have drawn me in!  AND yes, I did knit frog toes yesterday - 12 of them - along with a body (stuffed with a tennis ball), some arms and legs, and a half a head.  Why you ask - read on!

I have been waiting for the right time to slip in the cute Ribbit pattern from Susan B. Anderson, and as I took a day off yesterday, it was the perfect time to knit him up!  The pattern is out of my new favorite yarn, Spud & Chloe Sweater.  If you  have not yet checked out their blog with free patterns - you really must.  The newest pattern posted is THE cutest baby watermelon hat - and yes, it will soon be on my needles.    Until then, I have my Ribbit to keep me warm - or at least almost.  He is at present missing his noggin - but it is on the needles - just need more stuffing to give him some brains!  Kinda cool looking, huh?

This weekend was also Scarves to Throws weekend - and I do look forward to it.  We have a Saturday group and a Sunday group, and both are wonderful!  On Saturday, Joyce shared her throw sewn together; she just couldn't wait any longer!  Isn't this fun and full of joy?  Long live Lorna's Laces!  Check out how the color pooled on the fourth one from the left - isn't that neat?! 

In the Sunday group, I didn't take a picture; however, the conversation was a hoot!   A set of dining room chairs is up for sale to purchase needlepoint shoes and some Iro for a coat...  Any takers?  Now we know when we visit this lovely knitter/hooker for turkey day, we will be having a stand-up buffet, but we will be having some great new yarn and product to admire! 

Sunday also was the day that Nana went to church and lunch with Dorothy.  They were just too cute coming back that I had to take a snap.  More to show you the sweater I finished for Mom for Mother's Day was stolen - and from all that has been said, I believe it is now Nana's!  She does look mighty great in it!  Also, it is beautifully knitted (if I do say so myself)!  Speaking of the pattern - this is an awesome one that essentially finishes itself!

I will close on this high note!  Enjoy your week - and I hope you too have a chance to knit some frog toes!
