Knitting

^Knitting

^{I started knitting back in the early 60's. I skipped a few
years, but then I got the urge again and went gung ho for quite a while after
that.}

^{First I knitted a navy-colored vest for myself, and then my mother saw
it, and she wanted one, also. This is a picture of my mother over 20
years ago.}

^{A 3/4 sleeve sweater made over 10 years ago,
and I am
still wearing it today.}

^{This was my first attempt at

Fair Isle knitting. This sweater

is pretty old now, but I am still wearing it.}

^{Second sweater using

Fair Isle knitting.

This was easier than

the first one.}

Sample of the yarn used for my projects

I went to a Lace Day in Downers Grove, Illinois,
and one of the vendors was selling this new yarn.
I had bought one skein, and then I just had to have more.

^{Black And White}

^{Different Shades Of Blues}

^{Blues And Purples}

^{Green And Black}

^{These scarves are about two yards long.

You fold it in half and put it around your neck,

then put the two loose ends through the folded end.}

^{I made a total of seven scarves. The sample
above Is the type of yarn I used. It really took some getting
used to
when I first started working with it.}
