The Knitting Nurse Chronicles

Name:
Location: Indiana, United States

I am a nurse who loves to spin and knit. I am a mom to 4 beautiful girls. 3 of my daughters also spin and the youngest is only 4 so we haven't really practiced with her too much. We share our home with several wheels and a beautiful loom and 2 beagles, my four legged kids.

So Much for being a good blogger!

OK, I'm obviously not the best blogger! I have a hard time keeping up much less sharing with the world...It has been absolutely crazy this last year and a half since my husband and I split up...I am so blessed though.


I finished my second pair of socks...No pictures to post though. My Pi shawl is on hold...I'm working on Mystery shawl 5 and starting Mystery shawl 6. It's coming along quite nicely though. This isn't a very good picture but gives you a little bit of an idea. It's made in the recommended Fiddlesticks country silk yarn. I like the weight of this yarn, but the actual colorway I don't like as well as the picture on the internet...Oh well, it will still be beautiful.















I received the neatest fiber in the mail yesterday...It's a handyed 50/50 cashmere/silk blend. Talk about fibergasmic!!!!! OOOOHHH, I could lay naked in a mountain of that stuff!








Here's a pic...I ordered it from Crown Mountain farms... http://www.crownmountainfarms.com/ . Klaus is great to deal with. Items are immediately shipped. Great service! The fiber is in the Aztec Sun colorway. Isn't it amazing? It's only two ounces...I couldn't afford more...I'm going to spin it finely into a laceweight yarn (at least I'll try) and knit a small stole or scarf. It's definately asking to be spun finely.




This was a fun week. My 5yo had her first Christmas pageant at school. Here's her pic from that night.

Isn't she beautiful??? Of course, I'm prejudiced but I'm right!
Here are all of us together.

We make quite the crew don't we???
I don't know how I got so lucky as to be blessed with such beautiful girls...
Then this weekend my 16yo daughter's choir had their annual breakfast with Santa.
It was fun...My 5yo and I had a great time and my 16yo did a wonderful job serving families, and the choir members sang beautifully. I can't wait for show choir season!

It was a fun time for all! Well, more later...Have a great week! I'm off to spin and knit more!
