Remember this and this in regards to Lizard Ridge?
Well, it’s done! Seven months in the making! Phew!
Special Notes:
Try not to use darker yarn, specially ones that need to be sewn together many times over. It’s hard on my poor getting-older eyesight.
Instead of 28 squares, I added 2 more to make a 5-square, 6-row afghan. Big enough [...]

Finally!
Buttons sewn on.
Shrugs sent off to Mom and OS (Oldest Sis) yesterday.
Now, I’ll just finish YS’ (Youngest Sis) red shrug this weekend and it already has buttons waiting to be sewn on. Buttons are totally different from the ones on my Mom’s and OS’ shrugs.
Also, I finished My Precious’ afghan over the weekend. Right now, [...]

Phew! The blocks are done. All 28 of them! See KIP #3.
It’s now time to get the ends tucked in; blocks stitched together. There should be 4 blocks across and 7 rows of panels down. The original pattern called for 24 blocks to which I added 4 more blocks. My son would benefit from the extra length.
I [...]

This project is a Lily Go creation. Remember KIP #1? Lily gave this to me as a ‘thank you’ for test-knitting Falling Leaves top. I really love her pattern as the instructions are easy to follow; although the rate of difficulty is stated as intermediate.

KIP #4 was completed 2 weeks later than target completion time of April 25th.
I wanted to keep this tank top for myself but I owe my dear college friend this one. AWR will be surprised, but she deserves it. She remembered my birthday, but I forgot hers and didn’t even send her any card nor called [...]

Hey folks! I’m still around! Don’t go away!
I apologize for not posting for…..over a month?! Such a shame, huh? My website must have gotten soooooo boring, I can understand if my readers (who were few to begin with) decided to abandon me.
So, what have I done during my blog absence? Nothing really boring, mind you. [...]

I have fallen off the fast-moving knitting wagon. Let me assure everyone (that is, if anyone is still out there checking out my blog), that I may have fallen off but I’m brushing off the dirt, hobbling, scrambling to climb back up the wagon. It’s a race to get back on it.
Speaking of race………Yup! The [...]
