oh brother!!!

hello stitching friends
not much progress here
but BBD SAL is slightly further along -click on the names
in the BBD SAL group in the side bar to see their progress this week:

As usual, I have already noted non frogged errors,
which will remain without fuss.
Note the new stash in the photo below
I could not resist:

even if they never get stitched.....what fun to dream about over a cup of tea!

But the big photos to share were just emailed to me by my "knitting since new year" brother....

another prayer shawl....and he has started a prayer shawl ministry at his church:

  Oh Brother you are wonderful!

Hope your weeks end is pleasing and warm.....smiles---corinna

fyi from my brother: Oh, I forgot. On the shawl I used Lions Brand Homespun - Golden, CO57, K3P3 throughout.

BBD...stitch along

thank you always for all your kind and encouraging comments

I was invited to join Nadia and her fellow stitchers
for a BBD  SAL (blackbird designs stitch along)
So that is a fun weekly motivator:
I have chosen a small sampler as my first project:

not much
progress yet...
















...but it is
an enjoyable
stitch.
choosing from
colors that I have
here at home.

also attempting to knit my first pair of socks-

and made a small token of thanks for Paula for the gift of her sweet prize:

i know i need to add everyone in thee BBD SAL as a list to my post

but that will probably be next week...til then see Nadia's blog  for all participants and their talents.....

I need to figure out how to save that list as permanent link

but it is time for sleep now.....

thanks for stopping by

ta da

ta da -DA....finished 2 nights ago....wheeeee......BBD willow house..

of course I made color changes

and as always I am off by a few stitches somewhere!

so I fudge about to make it work.

 nice linen to stitch on.....

finished another 'just enough ruffles scarf"...

now on to learn to sock knitting.

DH is
steadily working
on scarves for
future gifts....
fancy rib stitch....
that is the name
of the stitch...
it is very dense
and thick......

Okay I received a DNF (did not finish), on my attempt to finish this sampler by the end of the Olympics.

I am still needing roof of house and tree to right of house....but before that
i decided the turquoise base to the basket of flowers required a color change
and have to repeat that first....so my next post should have this complete...sure-sure.

but I did make a dishcloth:    (this pattern is from a blog titled kayla k's thrifty ways)

finished knitting another scarf ....picture later, it is being blocked

and a little freebie finish from  The Sampler Girl blog site  http://atthehoneysuckletree.blogspot.com/
I used this as a gift tag......cute and simple....fun stitch.

Now off to finish the sampler......ahem.......or maybe just a cup of tea and some more
stitchy blog googling......yeah
