I have finally gotten back into knitting. I've had a 5 month dry spell, but I am excited about the project I am working on (pictured above), and I am also excited about the project I am about to attempt, as soon as I get the yarn. It is the most beautiful Victorian lace shawl. I think I can do it, with a little help from my good friend Kimberly, who has been knitting for many more years than myself. I do have some difficulty understanding the instructions for certain (most) patterns. It is hard for me to visualize what I am being told to do. Kimberly says it's because I don't have the needles in my hands. I guess we shall see. I did knit my first button hole last evening, on the baby sleeper (above)! It wasn't hard, just something new that I had never done before. I will keep you posted on the monster knit (the Victorian shawl) as I am working on it. Hope to get the yarn soon. Anyone know of a yarn comparable to the Peruvian Uros Aran yarn? The colors pictured are nice, but I was hoping for more of a light beige or cream colored yarn.

I'm so happy that you are going to persevere and attempt your lovely shawl...I know you can do it!
Today, I taught Maggie Foley to knit! I'm so excited for her. I'm still having some trouble with it myself, but it is lovely to "pass it on".
Looks good so far! :) I wanted to comment on your LOVELY front page pic of the double rainbow you put up. Did you take that pic yourself?
Suzanne,
No I did not take that picture. I wish I did. It is gorgeous, isn't it?
