First one in years and years, if ever. I just start it, rip it, start something else, rip it, nothing is holding my interest. So, ScrappyKnitter is off the air until something gives. Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year. Thanks for reading the ScrappyKnitter.

Enjoy your summer and Happy Knitting!<br />

Oh My!!!Yeah, I know, I've missed 2 weeks after that last post saying I would post each Thursday. Well, life has a way of getting in the way here in Southeast Georgia and I have spent the last 9 days between Atlanta, Gainesville and Blairsville. My father had to have a carotid artery procedure to unblock the left side. It was 90% blocked so he (and the rest of us) are very lucky they found it. His right side is 70% blocked so we'll be making a return trip in the next few months. I was their chauffeur because neither of them has ever driven to or around Atlanta and I'm not sure they'll ever want to. I enjoy the big city and enjoyed taking them around. St. Joseph's is an amazing hospital. They took very good care of him. He went in on Thursday morning at 10 and we were on our way home Saturday at 11:00. They sure do things fast now-a-days!<br />
<br />
Okay, so I finished Hedwig but, forgot to take a picture. The newlyweds met me at her brothers in Gainesville and I gave it to her then, along with a few new pairs of socks. I'll try to get her to take a picture and text it to me but she isn't too good about remembering......right Alex? ;o) Okay, so, I do have a few things to show. One of them is my Pig. If you're an Angry Birds fan you know who the pig is. If you're not, this is what I have to try to bomb, knock over, all that, on Angry Birds, a game on my cell phone.<br />

I have had so much fun with these things and there are 3 more of them that have been published. Not sure if I'll do the others, I mean, how many stuffed toys can a grown woman have?<br />
<br />
This Mom's been proven wrong. I asked, she sent! Here is Hedwig, Harry Potter's owl. Only like 3 more weeks until we go to Hogwarts in Florida, so I had to get this done. Oh, the cute little furry thing next to Hedwig is my Grandkitty, Katanga. I just love this cat to pieces. She comes and stays when they do and I've become quite fond of her. :o)<br />
<br />

I think Katanga was a little rough when she first met Hedwig, looks like she pulled a stitch from his eye. Ha! That's okay, an easy fix, and makes it more hers. So, my first 2012 FO that's been unfinished for way too long.<br />

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">I've also been knitting the Baby Girl socks for her cold, cold fibro feet. She wanted <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/ScrappyKnitter/slipper-socks">thicker slipper socks</a> this time so I made them out of some Nashua Yarn that is a worsted, 100% wool I've had for ever. </span>

This cute little guy was for my father. He's wanted one since I made the big Hedgehog for Alex a few years ago but I made him the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/ScrappyKnitter/simple-crochet-hedgehog">little one</a>. He loved it!</div>

I guess I'm not real good at this kind of thing, I've never been any good at journeling/keeping a diary either. I am going to try something new here, see if I can keep up. I enjoy reading everyone's blogs so I need to give you all something in return besides a blank page (or the same page for months.)<br />
<br />
I have lots and lots of UFO's in my stash closet. It's time to either finish them or RIP them out and use the yarn for something else. Starting today I'm going to be posting on Thursdays, working on my UFO's and blogging about how many rows I've accomplished or what I've managed to finish. I have to quit starting every pretty thing I see on Ravelry, it's making me just plumb crazy!~<br />
<br />
Another problem I have is the computers. I have a big computer (this one) in my yarn room/Alex's room with the printer, I have a laptop with a printer I keep in my sunroom, a mini laptop for while I'm in the living room and my smartpphone (which isn't so smart cause half the time it's not working) and I always take pictures with the smartphone-cellphone. So, when I go to blog I quit before I start because the pictures are in my phone, not in my computers. Yes, I could put the little smartcard in the computer, but that's more trouble than it's worth and the stupid phone has so many issues I don't dare mess with that little card in the back. I've just found the Mobile Version of Blogger, so I'm going to attempt to download it onto my 'not-so-smart phone' and upload pictures from there, or if that doesn't work I'll send all knitting related pictures to my e-mail, open them on ONLY this computer on Thursdays, and blog. Sometimes having too much of something isn't a good thing. Thursdays are UFO, blogging days starting today.........................<br />
<br />
My first UFO to finish up will be Alex's Owl. She was supposed to get it for Christmas, but, she came and spent 6 weeks with us at Christmas and there was no time for knitting Owls. This is Hedwig, a snowy white owl that lives in Hogwarts, home of Harry Potter's school of Wizardry. We are taking Alex and Lucas, her husband, to Hogwarts in March. We always promised to take her when they opened it. Who knew it would be 10 years after she started reading the books? <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/ScrappyKnitter/big-snowy-owl">Hedwig Ravelry Page</a><br />

He only needs two eyes and a nose and he'll be done. Until next Thursday, and hopefully an FO, have a great week and lets hope this works! I need a new plan for 2012 and something to enjoy and look forward to, and I'm hoping this is one of them.<br />
<br />Happy Knitting!Sherihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04307251957214491344noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11150072.post-73576360786258510822011-11-29T13:27:00.001-05:002011-11-29T13:40:47.742-05:00Happy HolidaysHope you all had a nice Thanksgiving. Are you still eating Turkey? We had the most wonderful meal at our sons in Gainesville, GA. The kid can cook! I can't even remember what he called what he made but it was a bourbon glazed ham, fresh greenbeans with roasted beets, mashed potatoes with garlic, cheese and cream! Delicious cranberry relish (and I've never liked anything but jellied, this was oh, so good), glazed, roasted winter squash, rutabaga's (never had them either, we always have turnip), homemade bread (he made that too), pumpkin pie, and I'm sure I'm forgetting something else but oh what a delicious meal!<br />
<br />
I've been knitting non-stop around here trying to just use up some odd balls of yarn. I've made the famous <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/ScrappyKnitter/bandana-cowl">bandana</a><a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/ScrappyKnitter/bandana-cowl-2"> twice</a>, once for my youngest daughter and once for my oldest granddaughter. I've made mittens, scarves, shawls, hats, one thing that's a secret but if you're on Ravelry you can see it in my projects. The person it's for reads my blog so can't post it here. Check out <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/people/ScrappyKnitter">ScrappyKnitter</a> on Ravelry.com and you can see all my busyness. I'm enjoying the small projects for now and after Christmas I'm hoping to start the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/creature-comforts-cardi">Creature Comforts Sweater</a> and <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/jali-cardigan">Jali Cardigan</a>.<br />
<br />
I hope you all have a great holiday season and if you do Christmas, I hope it's Merry and Bright!<br />

If you are on Ravery I am<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/ScrappyKnitter"> ScrappyKnitter</a> on there too. If you're really curious to see what I've been knitting that's where to find it. It's just hard to come up with something on here after posting it on there. I do read all of your blogs though, so don't give up, I'm just not good at writing or taking and downloading pictures. I've just found out that I can take a picture with my phone and upload the picture to either Ravelry or Flickr directly from my phone. Now, if I could blog from my phone, I'd be all set!<br />
<br />
Hope you all had a great summer. Mine was way too hot, lasted way too long, but I gained a son-in-law which was fun. Now I'm thinking cold/sweaters/socks/SNOW!<br />

<br />
Life for me goes from totally, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><b>100% B.O.R.I.N.G.</b></span> to crazy busy. Right now I'm in the first one. The weather is too hot to go outside (and too dang buggy), family is scattered all over the place and everyone else I know lives too far away to just go visit so I'm stuck in the backwoods of Georgia with the dogs, the cats (who aren't much for visiting, they're always outside) and my knitting. So, for now I'll knit. I'm knitting sweaters, scarves, bracelets, mittens, hats, lace, lace and more lace and the usual house work, the least amount that I can get away with.<br />

The sun is bright, bright, bright and extremely hot. The humidity is in the upper 70's, which means you're wet 5 minutes after walking out the door and the heat index, what it feels like on your body, is between 103-107 on a good day. No change in sight for the week ahead. Me, ScrappyKnitter, the Mother of the Bride, is having NO luck finding anything to wear for the big day. Everyone's tired of hearing me complain about my "new size" of huge, hatred for this heat inside my body and outside my body, my gray hair and did I mention the heat? Guests will start arriving on Wednesday and I can't even begin to think about what the heck needs to be done. Thank God for the husband. Without him it wouldn't be possible to have all this ready by next Saturday.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggLWlFT13B1K0_qUxRhpuvDPFO7R0nXYSYjhEMtgqicfWnV2iI2wTuwQNJUIXjQwNXo9wnE89Kd8E9e2lmpZSi7rdqlX4ZGQ2McrSa2jxiVJ5fsaHJAi-Ot-RSOq1El9F1-3uz6Q/s1600/This+is+The+End.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggLWlFT13B1K0_qUxRhpuvDPFO7R0nXYSYjhEMtgqicfWnV2iI2wTuwQNJUIXjQwNXo9wnE89Kd8E9e2lmpZSi7rdqlX4ZGQ2McrSa2jxiVJ5fsaHJAi-Ot-RSOq1El9F1-3uz6Q/s320/This+is+The+End.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
The bride and groom are getting excited. The Mother and Father of the Bride are getting excited. We're just all so tired. More from thinking than doing. Not much to do for an outdoor wedding until the few days before. Our oldest daughter will be the photographer so I'll have lots of photo's to post when I recuperate from the big day. Seems weddings are much different now than they were 36 years ago when i got married. No wedding cake, she wants cupcakes done in a tower on the table. No veil, but she's got such a beautiful head of the most perfect curls she really doesn't need one. Bare feet (not me, I've been bitten enough by fire ants to last me a lifetime). Informal, very informal. I get it cause it's just like her, the way she's always been. She doesn't want to be like everyone else, she wants to be what she is. Plain, simple and beautiful. So, our yard will be all done up in colorful lanterns, lots of sunflowers, close friends, close relatives, and nieces and nephew and I pray it all goes the way the Bride and Groom want it and just one small prayer that the Mother of the Bride makes it through the week. The Father of the Bride too, who is in charge of the lawn, the weeds, the dog piles and keeping us all sane. In this heat. This unbearable, stifling, heat.<br />

Ok, I feel better after my rant. Must go put on the smallest amount of clothes that are legal and see about washing some outdoor deck furniture, the deck and putting all my plants/cactus somewhere. If you're down near Savannah, GA next Saturday, stop in, we'll give you a hotdog or a hamburg. Oh, did I mention that........she wants a cookout after the wedding with hamburgs, hotdogs, all the fixin's, a fire in the fire pit to roast marshmellows and the wedding's at 7 p.m. You'll find me leaning up against one of the pecan trees in my back yard with my eyes closed. <br />

Sometimes you just have to do something to keep your fingers nimble till you can knit again. This is a free pattern on <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/">Ravelry</a> and we put 1/2 of a dryer sheet in each and hung them from our rear view mirrors in our cars. Mine is pink (of course) and the Brides is green. Quick and lots of fun.<br />

Well, lots has been going on and I've been either busy, sick, or busy. Actually, I haven't been that busy, except I consider my knitting being busy. I've just been diagnosed with Thryoid Disease, which isn't a bad thing because I thought I must be dying a slow death of something mysterious that no-one could figure out. I've had no, and I mean NO, ambition, never feel good, tired beyond tired, major weight gain, depressed, all kinds of things. So, my youngest and my Mom insisted I go and have a blood test to check my T3-T4 and TSH (?), which are thyroid hormones. Well, they came back high, I'm on thyroid meds and HOPING they make me feel more like myself instead of an 80 year old woman on her last leg! 'nough said.<br />

<br />
The Baby Girl, her fiance' and her best friend are in Africa again. This is Alex's 3rd trip and she'll be gone for 6 weeks, then back 8 days and then her wedding. My oh my that child has a lot on her plate and flew away to Africa. Now I'm getting e-mails that "I forgot to do this, I forgot to that," so I have things to do besides knit. They are having a blast and I'm looking forward to my 3rd skein of "African Yarn."<br />

I also finished my EZ Shawl that I started last summer around our 35th Anniversay, since it was 8/9/10 and EZ's 100th Birthday was the same day. Only took 10 months!!! I am now finishing up the Goddess Knits Anniversary Shawl. If you look on my projects page (ScrappyKnitter on Ravelry) you'll see that took a whole lot longer!<br />
<br />
The cute model showing off all my knitting is my youngest granddaughter Lyssa (nick name Baby Jane). She loves to model, even in this hot weather. Notice she has on a shrug? Ick! Too hot for that. Thanks Baby Jane!<br />
<br />
Off to knit. Hope it's cool where you are because here there's nothing else to do this summer but sit in the a/c. It's even too hot to get in our pool. Had 4 days this week over 100, with the heat index up around 104. Too hot for this Northerner!<br />

The first one I ever did was with Wendy at <a href="http://wendyknits.net/">Wendyknits</a>. This is the Summer Mystery Shawl.<br />

We had 3 tents and 1 camper (Mom and Dad's) all lined up. 14 people and lots of site seeing around the park, campfires, roasted marshmallow's, hikes in the woods and card games.<br />

Now, Neal didn't want to just hold it for a picture, he wanted to know how the "heck you make a sock?" So, he studied it real hard, I showed him how to knit one stitch and that was it. That's the Baby Girl looking, and laughing. She can't figure out how I make them either (magic, right?) but she sure likes wearing them. She didn't even ask if this one was for her.<br />

To Ravelry? Which?I feel as though I do nothing but knit, but after lots of thought on the subject, I've come to the conclusion that I do a lot of surfing on <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/">Ravelry</a>, perusing knitting magazines and thinking about all the things I <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/people/ScrappyKnitter/queue">wish I could knit</a> but just never get around to actually knitting because I spend so much time doing all of the above. Vicious cycle.<br />

Well, I've been enjoying watching birds for about 25+ years now so I guess I was wrong, or I'm old. NOT!!! </td></tr>

My youngest came home with her finance' for the weekend, my oldest were here with the grandkids, my Mom sent me a beautiful card and my son also sent me a great card. My son's card said I could sit in bubbles and drink bubbles all day. That would have been great but instead I was treated to hamburgers on the grill, a chocolate cake with white frosting, a small heart shaped cake for my breakfast tomorrow (I love chocolate cake in the morning), and a little pink bag filled with goodies to keep in Ruby. I had a pedicure, I gave a pedicure, I talked to my oldest granddaughter on the phone, had a great conversation with my Mom and I'm sure will have a conversation with my son before the day is over. It was a great Mother's Day weekend for this Mom. I hope all of my Blogger and Ravelry friends also had a great Mother's Day!<br />

I don't really have anything new to show so I'm going to hunt through my pictures and stick<strike> one</strike> a few in here so you'll have something to look at. Until next time, enjoy the sunshine, I hope the pollen isn't getting to you!

<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/spring-fling">Spring Fling</a>, free at <a href="http://knitty.com/ISSUEspring05/PATTspringfling.html">Knitty</a>. This has been in my favorites for awhile and I thought it was a good choice for the festivities at the wedding but even in 100% cotton I don't think it'll work. It is VERY hot in Alabama in August! I might just buy one of the little lacy sweater thingy's (I wouldn't call them sweaters, but not a bolero either, so whatever it is). I've been told I have to wear a sundress, so MUST have something to cover..................... <br />
<br />
First sleeve is all done. I did a sleeve first so I could get the pattern in my head so I wouldn't have to dig out the pattern when I have 10 minutes to work on it. It's very easy once you get the pattern figured out.<br />

My grandson spent the day with his Grandfather last fall and he planted 150 daffodil bulbs. They are coming up now and are so beautiful! I love daffodils and can remember going to my Grandmother's each spring and cleaning the branches and such that had fallen into her garden of daffodils. So many memories. Now I have daffodils. Thanks Jay!<br />

Happy Knitting!<br />

</tbody></table>I can't believe it's been 6 years! I've learned a lot in those 6 years of blogging. I've learned a lot about knitting in those 6 years too. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be able to figure out how to read a lace chart. I took a class and figured it out. Never thought I'd figure out how to knit a sock, but I did, following all those links that bloggers put in their blog pages. I've been knitting since I was 6 and never knew there was so much to learn and love about my favorite hobby. My "therapy." My Mom used to ride horses. She always told me it was her therapy but I never knew what she meant. I do now.<br />

Thanks for reading my blog, thanks for keeping me company all these years, and thanks for stopping by.<br />

Our youngest, the Baby Girl, got engaged last night to her Prince Charming, Knight in Shining Armor, Lucas. Wedding bells will be ringing in Alabama in a few months. That is her engagement ring. Thank goodness for text messaging, Facebooking and e-mail or I'd feel totally disconnected from this whole thing. She keeps me updated minute by minute! Thanks Alex.

This morning he came to the feeder right outside my sunroom/knitting room window. I must have taken 25 pictures before he sat still to get this one. Isn't he beautiful? You can see his backside colors over in my side bar. He's taking off from the feeder below, perfect timing. These birds have gone through 40 pounds of sunflower seed in less than 2 weeks. Time for them to clean up the ground for a day or so, then we'll refill all 20 feeders again. They empty them in less than 24 hours! P....I....G....S!<br />

It was very easy and fast and crocheted but I used 1824 Cotton and it is not at all stretchy so it's not as big as I'd like it to be. I do love that flower though.

The beginning of Mom's Nantucket Jacket! Finally. Going to work on this today and then some socks. I'm enjoying having my 3 projects going at a time. My hands seem to be getting stiff when working with small sock needles (age? Lord!) so when I start making mistakes I know it's time to switch to something else. Fun, get to blog a lot so that it seems like I'm a Bionic Knitter! NOT.<br />

I had to change my RSS feed subscriber (or whatever it's called)because the one I was using went out of business so if I don't have your blog listed in my sidebar could you send it to me? I tried replying to Beth but your blog isn't listed on your page. :o( I've lost so many of my favorite blogs, makes me sad.<br />

Okay, happy news! Alex's socks...................DONE!<br />

That's not bad. The worst part about knitting socks (besides the knitting of the socks) is the cost. When I think of the sock yarn I have stashed in the closet, and the amount that each skein/hank costs, well, I could buy enough socks at the store for every person who reads my blog plus my whole family. BUT, have you ever seen socks like this in your store? Me either! So, would these be Maternal or Paternal since they don't match exactly? That would have just been crazy to match stripes! Nope, not for me cause, well, you know, I hate knitting socks!<br />
<br />
Next is a pair of the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/firestarter">Firestarter Socks</a> for me! Have to go look through all that sock yarn and see if I have red, cause why would you make those out of any other color?<br />
<br />

Keeping my fingers crossed I have enough yarn left. I have the ribbing to do around both fronts and the neck and only 1 skein of yarn left. I'm sure my ribbing wont be 5 inches like the picture, but I'm hoping to atleast get 3 or 4 inches. If I don't even get 2 inches I'll be a very upset knitter!<br />

</tbody></table>We're enjoying 70+ degree days with lots of sunshine, but I'm still not ready for winter to be over. I enjoy the cold and the slight, slight possibility of snow but I guess it's pretty much over this year. Our feeders are full of birds, our trees are starting to show signs of buds and there are spots of grass turning green in the lawn. I just really am not looking forward to the hot, humid, and more humid weather we have here in the Southern Summers! <br />

<br />
I have gotten more done on my Elbow Room Sweater but that yarn really hurts my hands (am I getting old?) and I can still only do about 4 rows at a time. I'm not too sure about this sweater but I love knitting it sideways, just because it's different.<br />
<br />
The baby girls socks are coming along. One down, half of the other to go. And I STILL haven't finished her Bouldering Chalk Bag but I will, eventually. She hasn't been bouldering in awhile, so I haven't gotten in too much trouble yet.<br />
<br />
The sun is shining today for the first time in what seems forever! I'm hoping everything dries out today so tomorrow I can take pictures of my knitting, but who doesn't enjoy looking at chocolate cupcakes and beautiful flowers?<br />
<br />
Let me know what you think of the new blog style. I went with simple and my favorite color. Is it easy to read? Hard? Too bright? I'm open to any and all suggestions. And thanks to Beth and Alex for helping. I decided to ditch the picture. <br />
<br />

<br />
Now, for the new knitting. I'm working on the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/elbow-room">Elbow Room Sweater vest </a>and not having much luck with the first row of the cable pattern. I tore it all out again (3rd time's a charm) and figured out what I was doing wrong. I just haven't been in the mood to pick it up again. Later, maybe.<br />
<br />
I'm working on socks for the Baby Girl. I hate knitting socks, did I ever say that? But, they will be done before winter, next year.<br />

I've been giving some thought to making <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/faery-ring">THIS</a> sweater. I have 2200 yards of Ecru Casacade 220 Superwash that I bought to make a sweater years ago and think it's time to use it up. I need to do cables. There are some on <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/ScrappyKnitter/3x3-cable-with-moss-stitch/edit">Alex's socks</a> but I need lots of cables. I think I'm going to start either the end of February or the beginning of March. I know it won't be done till next year, but I really doubt I'll need it around here anyway, so no hurry, I just like the sweater. It's been in my queue forever so time to start.<br />
<br />
I'm not going to promise I'll do better at blogging in 2011. I've said that a bazzilion times and haven't been very good at it. I just don't have the "gift for gab" like I did when I started it. I'll just post when I feel like it but I do try to update my Ravelry page regularly - whatever that is.<br />

And I really need to get going on my Mom's Nantucket Jacket. And that's my New Year's List so far. Never know what I'll come up with between now and January 1st.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the month of December. Stay warm, knit lots and happy knitting!Sherihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04307251957214491344noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11150072.post-2077428959044405992010-10-16T16:23:00.001-04:002010-10-16T16:45:59.151-04:00Temperatures in the 70's, FINALLY!!! Happy Fall!Oh, the weather is changing, every day I can feel a little bit of a nip in the air! Today I told BTB that it almost felt like someone left the door open, on the deck, and the air conditioning was blowing at us. Such a nice change from those awful, AWFUL summer temps of over 100 with the heat index. Where I come from we had wind chills, we didn't have heat index's. Thank gosh the "heat index" is almost a thing of the past for another year.<br />
<br />
I just returned from another "Round-a-bout" and almost finished my Something Burnt/aka Something Red sweater. I should have it done tonight, I just have to figure out where to put the button hole and then do about 4 more rows on the button band. I love it. It fits really well. Hopefully I can wear it soon. Pictures are coming but I haven't taken any in awhile. It's orange, it really doesn't look different, just longer and it now has sleeves. :o) Wait till you see the button I bought. I just love it!<br />
<br />
I'm also making slow progress on my purple crew neck sweater I'm doing with Spud and Chloe as a KAL, although most people are probably long finished by now. I started late, but I needed something easy and that didn't require counting while traveling. Ended up working more on the orange one, but, the purple one will be my priority knitting by tomorrow.<br />

I don't like making socks, but about once a year at about this time, I get the urge for knitting a pair, so, I'll probably start them this weekend. I found a pair on Ravelry that I really like and I want to start working cables so I can read cable charts faster. I'm awful at them. I do so much better reading line by line with cables, but I'm worried they're going to quit writing the instructions out the long way, so, must learn. My brain has a hard time crossing this and crossing that and figuring out left and right. :o)<br />

Here are the pictures of my sweaters. The "Something Burnt" is now blocking so modeled pictures soon.<br />
