I thought I would take a minute to spotlight a few things I've done in the past year. It will be 2015 in less than 4 hours. That's hard to believe. Why does the time slip away so quickly? I haven't written here since August 2013. I've completed over 60 things since then. Way too many to post all of them. So here are just a few! :)<br />

I did this shawl for my sister-in-law, Jeanne. It was made from her mother's yarn! :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's been a short year. Time seams to fly by! Here's a<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/thiagram" target="_blank"> link </a>to <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/thiagram" target="_blank">my Ravelry page</a> that shows all my stuff since 2010! :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Knitting has been a great blessing to me! I've learned more than knitting. It's so important to have something to do. Something to keep me focused on. Some way of giving a bit of myself to those I love. There is more I have learned, which comes from learning any type of skill. So I would encourage you to find something to do, something to give and something to enjoy! :) </div>

Thia's Butterfly Cable Doll Dress </h2>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/thiagram/175938435/DSCN8401_medium2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/thiagram/175938435/DSCN8401_medium2.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
This little dress is knitted in the round. A little optional cable makes this a good learning experience. The bottom has a simple picot edge. A few added beads will turn the bit of pink into a butterfly. This dress is 6 inches, but that is easily adjustable to fit a taller or a smaller doll. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/basic-doll-body-knit" target="_blank">The Basic Doll Body (Knit) </a>pattern is from <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/designers/maggie-menzel" target="_blank">Maggie Menzel</a>. The one I made is 10.5 inches. She also offers a crochet version.<br />
I have a little <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/how-do-you-make-dolls/2617596/401-425#415" target="_blank">eye painting thread</a> that might be helpful. I learned to make eyes from doing <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/designers/fiona-mcdonald" target="_blank">Fiona McDonald's Dolls! </a> <br />

Row 41: BO with CC Leave a long tail to sew along front of sleeve to the front bodice. Turn first 4 rows under to make picot edge. Or add a ribbon in eyelet row and let the bottom curl up. Weave in ends.<br />
Add beads to the butterflies by using a length of sewing thread (both arms length). Fold double and thread a needle that will fit through your bead. Slip beads on. Hold onto the end of the thread so you do not loose the beads and go under the bottom middle stitch of the butterfly and come out above that stitch. Now go back through the beads and tighten the thread. Secure with a few stitches under the beads. When it's secure, go back up through the beads, then tie a couple of square knots with the end of the thread. Cut off the threads leaving enough thread for anntanas. Put a little glue on the threads to hold them together.<br />
Enjoy the dress! :)<br />

We welcomed our youngest grandchild Taylar, in March! I made this dress for her and the blanket was something her daddy's grandmother made for him when he was a baby. We now have 20 grandchildren with 2 more on the way! </div>

In October it was a pleasure to have <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/thiagram/travel-doll-4" target="_blank">Dora</a> come to visit me from Ireland! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cindy and Dora enjoyed doing many things together! </div>

After I struggled making these blocks with magnets in them I read about magnet safety for children. So I decided that magnet blocks for children is not a good idea. </div>

The past couple weeks I've been working on a doll for Abigail but that still needs some work. I'm also making a pillow for Dane. I have plenty of other things planned. A T-Rex for Ryan is next. Then a dress for my Sweetie Pie, the traveling doll, who will be visiting from Scotland. A new doll for Elizabeth. An Elf for Mary. A hat for a friend. And a soft something for Alexander! That should keep me busy til the end of December! :) </div>

Wow! I haven't updated my blog since July! How does time fly away from me so quickly!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first part of August I made this awesome hunter for my grandson.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/thiagram/116152916/DSCN2010_medium2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/thiagram/116152916/DSCN2010_medium2.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Little brother removed his eyes, and of course you know a <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/thiagram/cowboy-3" target="_blank">hunter</a> cannot hunt without his eyes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I made new ones! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/thiagram/119481469/DSCN2266_medium2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="275" src="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/thiagram/119481469/DSCN2266_medium2.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got them looking up to much. I need some more practice making eyes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made this cute <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/thiagram/jeans-teddy-bears" target="_blank">Jean Greenhowe teddy bear</a> for my one-year-old sweetie. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/thiagram/114847361/DSCN1876_medium2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/thiagram/114847361/DSCN1876_medium2.JPG" width="309" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/thiagram/basic-knit-sock-monkey" target="_blank">sock monkey </a>went to one of my James, who just turned three. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/thiagram/117886376/DSCN2170_medium2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="304" src="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/thiagram/117886376/DSCN2170_medium2.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/thiagram/christmas-crib-2" target="_blank">This nativity</a> turned out better than this picture, because I made some changes after I did the pictures. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I changed the color on the green figure's robe. I found the right color of yarn so I made the change. I also changed Mary's lips, so they are a bit less profound. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/thiagram/121603312/DSCN2860_medium2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/thiagram/121603312/DSCN2860_medium2.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got a bit sidetracked from my birthday knitting and started a little doll. She is a traveling doll! And she is just so much fun. There are 13 ladies in our group and the dolls will spend about a month with each of us. The first place my doll goes is to Arkansas, then she will travel to Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Poland, England, Scotland, Ireland, Canada and then back home. I will receive their dolls in the reverse order. The doll from Canada was just here and she in on her way. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the first doll I made. I named her <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/thiagram/travel-doll" target="_blank">Cindy</a> and I have redone her face more than once. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here she is before. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/thiagram/117487955/DSCN2160_medium2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="288" src="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/thiagram/117487955/DSCN2160_medium2.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and after.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/thiagram/123461008/DSCN3101_medium2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/thiagram/123461008/DSCN3101_medium2.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She even has straight pins for earrings! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think I might still redo her eyes, just for the practice. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Her face got too much paint and when I felted her, her head got too wobbly. I wasn't happy with her so I made another doll. But she is a very nice host doll for all our visitors! Her name is <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/thiagram/travel-doll-2" target="_blank">Thia</a>. Even though I like Cindy's hair better Thia is the one traveling! Her hair is <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/thiagram/making-the-body---miranda-rose--chloe-2" target="_blank">100% wool Kool-aid dyed</a> and it's nice too. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has been so much fun to have <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/thiagram/travel-doll-3" target="_blank">Callie and Cathy visiting from Canada!</a> It says there are only 127 pictures on there, but I think it's more than 150. Here they are helping me make bread! </div>

Since, my pictures want to land at the beginning of my blog, I'm starting with the last creation. I just finished <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/thiagram/making-the-body---miranda-rose--chloe-3" target="_blank">this lovely doll</a> for my three-year-old granddaughter. Since she is only three I didn't make her extra outfits or necklace. But she is very beautiful! </div>

Here's what else I've been knitting this past month or so. Some of these things are my own patterns, so that makes it a bit more of a struggle. They turned out nice anyway.<br />

The past couple of month has been busy. My mom and dad both spent some time in the hospital. We had a family reunion and other family events. And a good friend of ours died. So, I am so very thankful for my knitting which helps me as I go through all the ups and downs of life. But more than that I'm thankful to my Heavenly Father and my Savior, Jesus Christ! That is what really gets me through the hard times.<br />

What a wonderful blessing to have a good family and people to love! I am very sadden to have lost our friend, Ralph. He was a very good man and a blessing to his family. He has helped our family many times. My deepest sympathy and love and prayers for his wife, Mary. My Mary also had her troubles this couple months. So I am hoping for her recovery and blessing. I love my family and friends so much. I have more love in me that doesn't show as I wish it would. I am so thankful for them! :)Cynthiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13910789014058809608noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164181216668575408.post-12392938184830454362012-05-02T14:28:00.000-07:002012-05-02T14:31:44.942-07:00Nativity in April!<div style="text-align: center;">

This <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/girly-top" target="_blank">cute little top </a>for Beverly turned out awesome! But it reminded me of how when I was a freshman in high school I did a beautiful back flip on the tramp. The only problem was that I did it on accident, so my teacher kicked me off the tramp for a week. I thought I had cast on 242 stitches, but when I got to the arms, I realized that I had 208...........Sure hope I don't get kicked off the knitting needles, for such a blunder. It turned out to be a perfect accident. </div>

<br />
I guess it's time to catch up on what I've been knitting! I suppose this shows that I prefer to knit than blog. At the beginning of December I was working on another <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/sources/search#designs-by=Jean+Greenhowe&sort=popularity" target="_blank">Jean Greenhowe</a> <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/jean-greenhowes-topsy-turnabout-doll" target="_blank">topsy-turnabout doll</a>. I had so many other things going on that I decided to put it on hold and finish it in January for my daughter's birthday, instead of her daughter's birthday.<br />

My other project was a sweater. But I didn't like the yarn for the sweater I was making , so I felted it and I'm going to turn it into a wallet. So I will save that project till my next blog. It 's amazing that I am still so excited about knitting! I just seam to always find more to enjoy about it! </td></tr>

I have been so busy knitting that I haven't taken much time to catch up on my computer. So today I'm playing catch up. I don't have any family birthdays between Sept. 18 and Nov. 19, so this is my time to do some things for myself. I did do a few things for other people also, but mostly it has been me time. I started me time with <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/thiagram/60-9-cardigan-with-cables-and-rib" target="_blank">this sweater</a> made with the llama wool I got from the doctor that delivered 13 of my 19 grandkids.<br />

This lovely sweater has been stretching. I have not hung it on a hanger, but alas, it's still stretching. I may end up felting it and making a bag. </div>

It seams to me that all the stuff I've done in the past month has blended together and I don't remember what order I did them in so I start with what I just finished and work my way backward. I just finished this cute little <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/thiagram/mchenry">puppy </a>for my grandson Ryan. When I delivered it his older brother Bradly showed me his <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/thiagram/prehistoric-pals">dinosaur</a> that needed to be fixed. This is the fixed dino.<br />
That was so very interesting! </td></tr>

Mary took a month off from work in October. She couldn't afford to go anywhere so she took a 4 week work job in Rhode Island! She had so much fun seeing all the cool sites there in Boston! While she was there she got some yarn at the Plymouth Plantation Museum. So here is the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/thiagram/shakti" target="_blank">hat </a> and <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/thiagram/lacy-braids-scarf" target="_blank">scarf </a> I made for her. I'm starting some <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/thiagram/london-eye-glittens" target="_blank">mittens</a> when I finish this blog!</div>

One of my favorite things to make are felted bags! I made <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/thiagram/my-cool-llama-bag" target="_blank">this</a> with the llama wool so it had to have some llamas on it! I really enjoy needle felting! I actually made it with the cable from <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Austrian Alps Jacket from the book Knitting on Top of the World, but when I felted it I lost all the beautiful cables. :( It is still quite beautiful! </span></div>

So what's up next? I had planned another doll for my granddaughter on the 7th of Dec. But it takes so much time(100 hrs) and I have so many other things I want to get done I have decided to take my time with it and have it finished for her mom's birthday in January. So what else do I have planned? Mittens! A llama! Christmas! A lion! and who knows what else! My heart is full! I'm so thankful for all my wonderful blessings! My Savior, Jesus Christ, my family, and all the abundance of life! </div>

Playing catch up! What have I done since I last wrote clear back in July?<br />
I did a teddy bear blanket for my new granddaughter, Emily. It's almost embarrassing, because I messed up on it so much. These illusion blankets are a simple two color stripe with a combination of knit and purls. I changed the color every time I was supposed to just change from knit to purl. The tiger blanket is done right! So, Emily, I owe you a nice blanket! Just don't know when.....<br />

I am using some Lion's Brand Fisherman's wool that I got last year at 3 skeins for $10. So not counting that, I spent $35 on some Patons wool and an additional skein of Fisherman's wool.<br />
<br />
4/22/2011 I did at least half the back yesterday! I made the changes suggested by MaryTaylor I think I can do this in 8 days. Beverly's birthday is the 1st of May. So this will give me 9 days to finish it.<br />
<br />
4/23/11<br />
Last night I was thinking I could do the vertical stripes on the back in a couple of hours. mmmmm...... I still have 6 stripes to go. So I am wondering if Intarsia would be faster. I will think on it and start again on Monday. I think it's looking great!<br />
4/24/11<br />
Stayed up late last night and finished the vertical stripes on the back! Today is Easter. I always give my knitting fingers a rest on Sundays. So I'll be working on it tomorrow.<br />
4/26<br />
I still might be able to finish by Saturday night, but most likely it will be Monday or Tuesday, which will be fine. I have decided that the duplicate stitch works better than Intarsia for a vertical stripe. I started the first front in Intarsia, but it was driving me nuts to do it that way and it wasn't looking very nice. So I'm doing the duplicate stitch.<br />
4/28<br />
Yesterday was not a good knitting day for this. I was on my way to town and realized I was making the i-cord on backwards on the collar. Good thing I had a baby blanket in my bag to work on. I got home and started over. I decided that because of the different colors that I would not do the i-cord till I was done, as I am just learning to do this method.<br />
<br />
Then on the way to go for a walk I was all ready to knit and realized that I had knitted the bottom Fair Isle using the #6 needle and I didn't have my #9 needle. So I couldn't knit till I got home a couple hours later. Then I decided to start again with the #9 needle. Anyway, I finally got about half of one collar done.<br />
4/28<br />
Today was a good knitting day. I should be able to finish both collars and hopefully block all the pieces out this evening. Then I will only have the sleeves, the sewing up and i-cord left to do. Instead of blocking I had to take time to learn how to take out the duplicate stitch. It's easier to put in than it is to take out. The best way I found is to turn the work to the purl side and snip the bumps of color, then turn it over and pick off the top.<br />
5/1<br />
I was working on the sleeve and when I was almost done I realized that I had forgotten the increases. Ouch! So I made a wedge and started to seam in onto the sleeve. I was so pleased at how nice the seam was coming along and almost done when I realized that I had sewn it on upside down! Another ouch! I carefully took it off and put it on right. Now all that is left is a little of the second sleeve and the vertical stripes of both sleeves, the blocking and seaming up and the i-cord on the edge. I also plan to make a couple belts. My goal is to have it done by Tuesday night.<br />
5/5 Thursday<br />
I've been helping my son move, but the sweater is almost done. I only need to connect the back of the collar. It needs to be made a bit longer, but I've misplaced my #9 needle. So I'm a bit stuck. I've been working on Bev's baby's blanket and my next project of a topsy-turnabout Jean Greenhowe doll. I also need to make the i-cord on the edge and sew on a hook and eye. I might finish tonight if I can find my needle! lol<br />
5/6 Friday.<br />
It's finished! Hooray! I have worked on it 14 days. I made a vinyl belt, just so I could take pictures with a belt. My son, Joseph. is going to make her a nice leather one soon. But as you can see, Beverly is not ready for a belt! The baby is due on the 16th!<br />
The sleeves turned out a bit too long. I used a #8 needle on them but they're still a bit too long.<br />
I think it's quite beautiful! And I think Beverly likes it too!Cynthiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13910789014058809608noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164181216668575408.post-49198059057453167372011-04-06T20:56:00.000-07:002011-04-25T08:55:09.890-07:00Jenny's scripture bag!I have been enjoying a bit of Brazilian Embroidery on some felted things. So I thought I would share these things!<br />
This is my daughter, Jennifer's scripture bag. There are three tatted butterflies on the other side, but since I didn't take the pictures, I missed out on getting the picture of that.<br />

The white ones were at first one big one. I cast on 70 stitches and knit 140 rows. I knew it was too big. So I added the crocheted rings on each corner, before I felted it. Then after I felted it I cut it into four hot pads. A good number to cast on would be 40 for a nice big hot pad. the big brown one I cast on 60 stitches and knit 120 rows. After I embroidered on them they didn't lay flat. So I sprayed a bit of water on them and ironed them out and that worked great! These were tons of fun to make!<br />

So here it is! No exactly the same, but it's close! I would give the pattern away if I the pattern wasn't so flawed. If I ever did it again, it would be different. I cast on too many stitches, so it became huge! I made 10 Entrelac squares of 15 stitches and went for 5 rounds. Then I realized I needed to turn it the other way or knit forever to make it taller than it was wide. So I turned it so the cast on edge was on the side instead of the bottom. I knew the skinny neck would be impossible, but I tried. I crocheted (holding 3 strands of yarn together) over pipe cleaners for the skinny arms(wings) and antennas which worked fairly well. I also added 3 pipe cleaners and stuffing into the legs. I had an old memory foam pillow and added some more stuffing and used it inside. The wings, head, and legs are connected to the pillow,not the yarn. It took lots of stitching to get it sewed up. I was thankful I knew how to mattress stitch even though I didn't actually stitch two seams together. But I could hide the stitching well. When I did the neck I picked up stitches around a few pipe cleaners and made a crocheted edge connected to the top of the body. Then I started knitting it up in the round. Unknowingly, I was knitting the inside of the round. It just felt awkward. Anyway it turn out to be reverse stockinette stitch. It was late at night and I decided that, that would be fine. I really like the tongue! It can hide inside the mouth! I have so much to learn about making my own patterns. This was a challenge and tons of fun to accomplish! This thing just makes me smile!<br />
This is Johnny, Hyrum's little brother. Hyrum took this picture!<br />

It's coming! I like this one, but I know it needs some improvement!<br />
I used techniques from "Toe-up-two-at-a-time Socks" and used my Harmony needles! Woo Hoo!<br />

Hooray! Even with mistakes, I think he will like it. So why is it that I must do the more difficult thing of making my own design of a pony? And why do I do it all the hard way? Do I really need the challenge? It would be easier to just use a pattern. I don't do better than any of the cool patterns that are out there. I think it's the feeling of doing what I imagine that I can do. The feeling of accomplishing a difficult thing. Like the SUDOKU puzzle that I try. For the longest time I would pass on any of the more difficult ones. Then I decided to try. And I accomplished it! Doing something that is difficult is doable and worth the try. But only with some determination and stick-to-it-tivity! It doesn't just happen. Next time I think I'll do things in an easier way!<br />
Our lives are so much like this. We avoid the hard stuff and not put forth the effort because we think something is too difficult. When all it takes is to jump in there and give it a try and learn to deal with the mistakes. There's always mistakes and it's a matter of learning how to deal with them. The more practice on dealing with mistakes and the more practice on doing a difficult thing the easier it becomes! So just jump in there and give something a try and see what can be learned! Hooray for learning! ......... I'll post a picture tomorrow......Cynthiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13910789014058809608noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164181216668575408.post-41648998843964526292011-02-22T16:11:00.000-08:002011-02-22T16:11:27.276-08:00Getting it right! A brown horseWhat good does it do to correct some mistakes and then make other ones instead? I am about half way done with the brown horse. I got the neck too long this time. I think I can fix it and tuck it a bit. But I won't be able to have a pattern for a cool horse unless I get it right. It can't be right here and then wrong there and good sometimes but not all the time. It needs to be right the whole way through.This will also apply in our lives. It's not all that easy to get my yarn and needles to cooperate with my imagination. It takes time to get it all to come together, but I do believe that it will eventually come and I am making improvements. I am happy to have the opportunity to make another horse, after I knit a bag then another one is on the way!Cynthiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13910789014058809608noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164181216668575408.post-69882882007719119672011-02-18T14:31:00.000-08:002011-02-18T14:38:47.056-08:00Finished the pink pony!I finally got the pink pony finished! It has its problems and you will be able to see where I tucked it in. But the time for this pony is gone and I had to just finish it. Now I'm starting a brown horse. Our lives are like this also. We work things through, take a double look and redo. Then there comes a point that we must move on. We just need to forgive ourselves for the mistakes made, that cannot be redone, and go forward....<br />

It seams it always happens that way. I set out to learn to make my own pattern, my own design. I have been knitting my own pink pony. It hasn't been easy, but it's more like knit and frog (rip-it rip-it rip-it out) But if I had not kept notes, it would not be possible to correct the errors or get it right. What good does it do to learn something and not apply it? If I don't make another horse, I will have wasted my time. So hopefully I'll finish the pink pony today and start the brown horse! It just doesn't work to quit half way through. The same goes for my quest to lose these pesky 30 pounds! I guess this means I need to keep better track of what I do, so I know where I'm messing up and how I can fix things!<br />

I am hopefully going to eventually get it right. I had to do some tucking and reshaping on this one, but I do plan on doing 2 more horses very soon. I will begin again and hopefully I'll have a pattern that others will be able to use. I am hoping to have something worth selling when I'm finished. I think learning is sometimes a slow process. I am learning much more than how to knit something of my own design and write the pattern for it. .... I am leaning that it's okay to just get in there and try. I can't figure out much till I actually try what I think might work. The same is in life. I need to try to do what I think might work! I am also trying to lose 30 pounds and I think of ways to make it work and then if I don't put them into practice, then it won't ever happen. So I guess I better get on with my day and make stuff happen!Cynthiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13910789014058809608noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164181216668575408.post-21204586251902615612011-02-11T15:20:00.000-08:002011-02-11T15:21:12.792-08:00A pink pony!Today, my knitting took the back burner as I watched 4 of my 17 grandkids, from three different families. It's always interesting and fun to babysit!<br />
I am working on a pink pony and learning to design my own pattern. I am excited to be able to do this. The pony's head and neck are done and I'm now working on the legs and back. I started at the nose and will work my way down to the tail. It's been quite a learning experience to design my own pattern! I will need to make another horse before a pattern will be ready for others to enjoy. It's right around the corner. My granddaughter, will be 5 on Feb. 18 and the pink pony is for her, so it should be done, by then. I'm planning a horse for one of my grandsons who will be 4 on the 28th. I should be able to have a pattern ready by then. I am also making a scripture bag for my sister-in-law. She does tatting and Brazilian Embroidery. So I am planning to make a tatted flower on one side and some Brazilian Embroidery on the other! Another learning experience in the making!Cynthiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13910789014058809608noreply@blogger.com1
