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.

  1. Great progress on your SAL and nice choices for new stash! Brightneedle is coming here for my LNS's retreat next year. I am hoping to go. The samples they sent are awesome! I bought the Honeysuckle Manor book as well as the Bluebird and Bird in Hand charts.

    That is really great that your brother started a prayer shawl ministry! Beautiful shawl too =)

  12. It was wonderful to visit with you and your husband today at the yarn shop! Your blog is lovely -- I've just been looking through it, and your projects are beautiful. That baby quilt you made a while back is jaw-droppingly gorgeous! I've always imagined I might quilt someday, but I probably shouldn't try to pick up any more interests at the moment...small children, small house... :) My husband says I leave enough of my projects all about the house as it is. :)

  17. Your stitching is beautiful as always! Creativity must run in your family. How fun to have a brother who knits. My brother knew how to cast on, for some reason when we were young, and he would help me. But, I don't think he knows how to knit anymore.
