Mystery Shawl

Wow, the mystery shawl is done and I think the colors I picked are very pretty and it is very long. I'm afraid to completely soak it and block it because of the way the yarn is made. It's very wooly, so I just sprayed it and used my fingers to stretch it and it has alot of stretch.

It's coming along but I think a few more spritz and tugs and a few pins going around the dips will be better.

When I started to knit this shawl at the yarn store I had left my beads at home so I guess if I want to add some now I will have to sew them on with regular thread.

I have about 45 of these left over from Annelise's headband project - which we never finished.

Dog Goes Crazy from Thunder

My dogs hate the sound of thunder and this is what happened the other day when Nina got out of control. I haven't been able to get my husband to take down the topsy turvies and my dog did it in one evening.

I'm Going to School

I don't have any pictures of anything related to the title of this post. But as it states, I am now oficially enrolled in the Fall 2012 session of Crafton Hills College in Yucaipa, Ca. It was so easy from the registration, assessment, kick-off session for this program they put me in called Left Lane Project - to help me do better in school. Tomorrow I go for a 2 week Summer Bridge tutoring session from 9 -12 in the morning.

Wonderful Family Visit

My husband's aunt and uncle came from Mexico. They are very cheerful and very helpful. I had never met them in the 26 years that I know my husband. They have 8 adult children and most of them are in Utah, Oregon, Texas and Arizona. Soon they will be leaving to visit their children.

I got a free pattern with purchase from Redlands yarn Company. This is a ruffle scarf they call the potato chip scarf because you can't make just one.

On vacation, I think this will be the 4th week so far and I've been knitting a shawl from Craftsy.com. I'm so proud of myself because I can read charts and patterns now. I've been looking through alot of websites and finding so many nice things to make soon. I can't stop. It really helps keep my mind off my MS.
