I know it is days after Valentine's Day but I thought I would share the cards I made for my daughter's class. It was a labor of love.

Almost that Time of the Year! When the yarn Comes out...

Image
    I have been waiting all summer for the right time to start playing with my yarn. Last fall/winter and part of the spring I was a pretty busy bee on my Ultimate Sweater Machine. If you don't know what it is , it is a home hobby knitting machine. It is easy to assemble and does not need electricity, you put in the muscle. I make some great beanies on it. I can honestly say I have mastered the striped beanie pattern in the book and was comfortable enough to make my own alterations to the pattern.

Thanks again and have a great evening. Sandy

I have found that the results last anywhere from 2-6 months depending on my eating habits. I have maintained the inches lost by wrapping at least 2 times a month. This month we decided to take a little vacation and you know what that means horrible eating, well at least that is what it means for me. So I have started my cleansing and toning routine to get back to where I was before we...
