One day at a time

5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:5-7

Fabric stitched up with Berroco Zodiac

Here is how the Berroco Zodiac stitches up on size US8 needles. This knits up very fast and has a very nice drape. My only problem was that it was snagging on my less than smooth fingers. It was very frustrating at first, but I figured out a way to fix this..... use a nail file to buff my fingers. Yep, that works, plus I have nice soft fingers now! LOL

Berroco Wren with Zodiac


Berroco Wren with Zodiac
Originally uploaded by CurleyQ Books.
I was able to get the suggested yarn "Berroco Zodiac" at an awesome price, so I decided to try the popular "Wren" pattern. I am hesitant about making myself a "sweater" because I quit sewing myself garments years ago. The reason - Fit! I seems like whenever I finish making myself something, I don't like the way it fits. I am sure I will be dissappointed with this finished project, too. But , hey, I just might be surprised. hummmm. I am making this in a size L and hopefully it will fit. My bust size is large so if it doesn't quite work, I guess it could be worn open. If all else fails, I have a sister who could wear it. LOL!

So far the pieces are knitting up very quickly. I have never used a pattern yet that states: AT THE SAME TIME. The front shapping uses this terminology. I know this will take some pondering to get through, so I will ponder away.

You Are Kermit

Hi, ho! Lovable and friendly, you get along well with everyone you know.
You're a big thinker, and sometimes you over think life's problems.
Don't worry - everyone know's it's not easy being green.
Just remember, time's fun when you're having flies!
