UFOs spotted and conquered…um, I mean befriended…

I hope you’re all having a fine weekend!  Mine has been spent fighting a cold…I’m to the point where I think I need to make a trip to the dreaded doctor’s office tomorrow.  Yuck!  😕

 But…being forced to spend a little down time, has given me the opportunity to plan about 16 new projects for the looms!  And let me tell you…they are going to be cool!  🙂   I so love it when a good plan comes together, as I hope these will. 

Emily Mitts~I also now have three projects going on my looms…as if one isn’t enough!  😉   I have a lovely scarf in a tealish color that I’ve been working on since the fall…it’s a new stitch pattern that I hope to share with you soon.  The next is a project from Isela’s cables book, the classic cables scarf, that I am knitting to go with the mitts (also from the same…) made for my daughter for Christmas. 

And the project I decided yesterday just couldn’t wait for me to finish the others, is a project of my own…a lovely handbag that incorporates my new found knowledge of cables…I am going to get them mastered completely!!!!  Hence the new project, to see if I can recreate them in something of my own design.  Well, I started over about 3 times, before I finally figured out what I really wanted it to look like and what size.  Oh well…we learn by trial and error, right?  😉

Well, that’s about all for today…I will keep you posted on my progress of the new projects as I go!   Enjoy your day!

I’m Angora!

Angora – Soft and warm
i’m angora“Angora has a warmth that rivals cashmere and softness that rivals qiviut. Best of all, it comes from cute little bunnies that look for all the world like furry footstools with ears.” –The Knitter’s Book of Yarn

Angoras are eager to please and are highly sensitive. Flexibility and adaptability are your strengths and sometimes your weakness, as well. You are essentially a warm and feeling person, and little escapes your impressionable mind. You are generous with others and strive for harmony in your relationships.

—————————————————————————————————————— I don’t usually take these quizzes, but I thought the little buttons were so cute, I had to give it a whirl.  🙂   I think this is a fairly accurate description of me as well.  I don’t know what my close acquaintances might think, but I like it!  😉  …and I know I love bunnies!  Why don’t you give it a try?

Just in case you didn’t know…check the posts below for the juicy details of the Clique Pics Contest happenin’ right now, through the end of January…hurry & get in on the fun!

Bethany~
