Knitting success really excites me,
but I guess that is part of what makes me a knitter. I chose the Lion Brand Spring Ruana: (http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/L20087.html?noImages=0)
because I love the pattern. Then I
realized that it is a big wrap and not appropriate for Texas weather or the
need for a wrap when the air conditioning is on. The Ruana is knit in three pieces, right and
left sides and back. So I have adapted
the lace pattern by adding two additional 13 stitch pattern repeats to one side
of the ruana to make it a wider shawl.
The thing I love most is the easy but beautiful lace design. It is four easily memorized rows that make
mindless, TV watching, audiobook listening, or office knitting a breeze.
Kathyb posted a picture of her cat Tank sleeping. Tank reminds me how much I love the way cats sleep, and I also love watching the pups sleep. If I could get this comfortable…
I would be taking a nap right now.
Life is good.

Look at those precious pups!
Your shawl/Rumania is going to be gorgeous. The green is very attractive.
Beautiful shawl. I'm still trying to cast on for the next baby blanket. I'm not a novice... why can't I get this?!
Sweet babes. Gg has her chin on my foot, and we're discussing whether or not I should nap and stay up for the UVA game.
Katherine, Love the shawl texture. !!! Beautiful.
Watching the Cubbies.
I looked at my garden today…..I could see it! no snow! I saw some daffodil shoots and some Stonecrop buds. Snowdrops are in bloom. Hooray for our first 60 degree day of 2014!
