batteries not included, darn it.

I need to get real good recharge batteries for my camera. The ones I got are junkers. They petter out faster than regular batteries. And when I do get 'um I need to then figure out how to work the camera. Uurggg. It's just that I have many, many FP's to show and tell and well, I'm stymied.

Sweaters; shawls; hats, crocheted, knitted, felted; mittens and scarfs. My latest favorite hat design, which I mustered up myself, is a crocheted entrelac bottom up beanie. They have a pattern at http://www.anniesattic.com/crochet/detail.html?prod_id=22853 of a similar hat but theirs looks to be top down. Mine is bottom up and I'd love to share but first, my gosh, I need some pics. Don't ya think?

If someone blows by and you know of a good type battery and can tell a fool like me where in thee tarnation they can be bought, drop me a line. Like what's the best brand with the best price. Smart stuff like that.

Right now I'm working on a zip up sweater which I've been lusting after for quit some time. The back is almost finished and if the camera is up too snuff I'll put up a pic. Very pretty stitch pattern. It's in a British knitting mag, http://www.simplyknitting.co.uk/ from Issue 22 Dec '06. Problem is I can't find the cardigan I'm working on to link to but its a great place to visit. The magazine is 4 bucks a month! but we americans get it, like, 8 months late. Not a problem.

Alrighty, have a good one.

Stunt Stitching

And now for a bit of gushing which I'm sorry for but I can't help it can you blame me? I have recently been included as a Stunt Stitcher for the company http://stitchdiva.com/ . My very first project was an awesome cardi shawl which was so amazing the way it comes together. You should go check it out along with the rest of Jennifer Hansen's other designs. But to see the Endless CardiShawl I stitched up for her just click on the red link of same name at the bottom right of the page. Mine was the light brown and Chie's was that rusty colored one. Very Pretty Chie! Her blog? http://chiescrochetandknitting.blogspot.com/ Thanks for lettin' me join the fun, Jennifer!

I wanted to put up a picture of a aran sweater I made for my nephew. But first I gotta figure out how to do that. Ha! I said I was a newbie, didn't I? Oh yeah, well, maybe I didn't say it, but now that it's out there, hell, there it be. I'll post this for now and get back to the never ending blogger help for the above said instructions for pic download. Blogger help, a dreaded task.

Have a good one!
