Annie's Lace Throw
This afghan is a reminder as to why I do not buy kits.
I got it at Mary Maxim.
http://www.marymaxim.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10001_10054_3074457345616898795_-1_15033_15034
I ran out of yarn with 3 more rows to go so I hope my sister does not notice as I made this for her for Christmas. There were also areas of the pattern that were not clear or correct ,leaving me to rip it out 8 times before I got it right with a little fudging. The yarn , Starlette, color soft taupe, had many knots as well.
It is a very pretty afghan when finished though and works up quick. I will make this pattern again as I now know where the errors are but will use a different yarn.
The finished afghan came out looking great. I hope my sister loves it just the same.

Granny Squares
So for my birthday back in July my youngest daughter gave me a gift card for JoAnn Fabrics. I bought 6 skeins of Caron One Pounders and this is what I made with them. I was thinking I would need all 6 for one afghan.
These will be for Christmas. One is a twin bed size and the other fits the top of a full size bed.

Last Weeks Knits
I made this sweater from Stash yarn. It is for my neice Ashley's baby due the end of next month. I made socks instead of booties as I think they will stay on better.I also love how socks fit.

Good news
My colon polyp was benign. I do not go back to see the doctor until January 2011.
So much pressure is off for now.

Health Update
Due to the fact my alkaline phosphatase is still high I had a CT scan last week that showed only a polyp on my gallbladder. Doctor called and said that I needed an ultra sound of the galbladder. I had one a few weeks before so he is going to compare them. I may need it removed.
Yesterday I had my one year post cancer colonoscopy. They removed a polyp there and sent it for testing. Will not know if its cancer for up to 2 weeks.
Keeping positive. I know I can beat this♥

52PP IV
As I always have a pair of socks going , I thought I would join the Ravelry group
52 Pair plunge IV. It began June 1, 2010 and ends May 31, 2011. So far I have one pair done and 2 other pair started. Will post photos as I go.
I am a little behind as I have had my 2 year - old nephew all this week . My sister had surgery for thyroid cancer. This has been a crazy year for it in our family. I have colon cancer, my mom breast and now my sister.
I see the doctor this coming Monday. Hoping for a clean bill of health.
New colonoscopy in July.

8 Color Afghan
Finished my 8 color afghan from Lionbrand that I started in January. Just need to weave in my last end.
I made it 4 squares across, I should of done the 5 like the pattern said. It does fit a twin bed though. I also made a larger boarder. Like all the Lionbrand patterns, it used twice as much yarn to make

Cancer update
Went to see the doctor yesterday. I was feeling great for a change and thinking so positive until he told me my blood tests were not good. Seems that there is still cancer somewhere. He said the level suggest liver or bone. He said he couldn't see anything yet on the last CT scan I had but it is there. The cyst on my liver may be doing something. As I cannot have another scan for a few months, I go back for more blood work and see him again in June. We will then plan the next scan and set up another colonoscopy.Updates to come....
One day at a time.....
Off to finish knitting my pink socks.

Knit for Yourself KAL
Ravelry's Portland Maine Knitters did a Knit for Yourself KAL hosted by me.
I deceided to knit myself a pair of socks. I used Knit Picks yarn in Farbe from my stash.
I used the 2 on 2 circular needle method using size 2 needles.
I started on January 1, 2010 and finished on January 19, 2010.
I used a pattern I have had for years as a handout from my local yarn store "Central Yarn"
I love this pattern as it is a basic sock pattern and when done fits very well.
This is the first pair so socks for this year. Off to knit more ;^)

Knitting and Crocheting for 2010
Happy New Year 2010 !!!!
I have a plan for next Christmas, all my projects will be done for Christmas 2010. The plan is to knit or crochet a pair of socks and an afghan for everyone in my family. I have tons of sock stash and yarn for 3 afghans.
I started the 8 Color Afghan on December 25,20009. I used the yarn and colors posted
http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/70139AD.html?r=1
All the squares are finished I just need to sew it together. I will post a picture when finished.
I have socks started for my husband as well as a pair for me. ( I never knit for me )
