Cross Stitch Give Away

Go over here and check out the lovely give away being offered! Such a pretty chart and supplies to boot!

I Gave In!

Check out this lovely wrap! I finally gave in and purchased the pattern. And the color is right up my alley!! Can I hold out or will I purchase the yarn now???????

Plodding Along Thru Clue 3

Here I am just a couple rows into Clue 3. (Taken a few days ago) I have switched to the KP's 40" cable.
I'm going to start row 113. So looks like I will be behind when Clue 4 comes out tomorrow. The rows are getting long and it seems to take @ 1-1/2 hours to do four rows. That's my nightly goal/limit.

Slow and steady gets the knitting done!!

Keeping my Fingers Crossed

Was reading thru bloglines and came across a great giveaway at Rosemary-Go-Round! Win a shawl pin!! I don't win anything but I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this one.

The new heart pin is lovely and I bet the scarf pattern would make a lovely wrap. It might even make me actually keep one of my shawls and wear it (heaven forbid!)! To be honest I've given away most of the shawls/wraps I've knit. I do have two here but they haven't been blocked.

Guess there is something wrong with me!! (Yes we knew that already!)

I've got to stop "entering" these. Just get's my hopes up - then down they go.

Almost (click click) There

I'm clicking those needles as fast as I can to finish Clue 2! Just two more rows to go. I've even got a knitting wound on my right finger where I've been pushing the needle-tip into it! I'm searching for my stick-on little round pads I use for cross-stitch but so far no luck.

I WILL finish Clue 2 tonight!!!! Perhaps I should have done the triangle version instead!

Back from Cape May

Above is the Cape May lighthouse at sunset from the dinner sight-seeing cruise we took. Had a great time and saw some dolphins - no whales tho.

Below is our room, the Marquis de Lafayette room at the John Wesley Inn. If you go to Cape May we recommend it! Bonnie and her staff are wonderful and the breakfasts were fantastic. I lucked out when I chose this inn - they have parking! We found out that not all the B&B's offer that! We were one block off the beach. Seems in Cape May everyone either walks or rides bikes most of the time.

Tuesday we drove out to the Cape May lighthouse and the WWII spotting tower. After climbing the 199 steps to the top of the lighthouse I was a little tired! We went to the Lobster House for lunch and the food was delicious!!!

We only went for a short stay to see if we liked it - AND WE DID! We'd like to return in the fall. I'm not a warm weather person (don't like the beach much) so the fall would be great. Have sights already lined up!!

So - that's why I'm not done with Clue 2 for the SummerMysteryKAL. Going to try and get some done now.


Happy Knitting!

SummerMystery2009 Clue 1 Done and in TIME!

YEAH - got Clue 1 done before Clue 2 comes out tomorrow!
