Oops I turned left..... Progress....

Mitre Sqares, and more Mitre sqares...... Kind of fun to knit but I am kind of getting dizzy from it. Maybe I need to give this project a rest.


I should have turned right ..... it just did not look right. When I woke up this morning and was admiring my new project I suddenly realized my mistake.

This is the prize I won at Stitches West Fashion Show, the kit for the "Carnaby Coat" in this beautiful black and white wool. It was a score the price on the label says $250 dollars. Well wool made in Italy is not cheap.This is what it looks like in the picture, here is my progress.

I frogged the little hick up and all is back on track. Just a little mistake, it was late at night I was watching television and simply did not pay attention. But luckily I listen to the advice I give "admire your work often" to catch any mistakes early.


I have a lot of knitting to do on this one.

A friend sent me this...

I don't usually post these, I get so many jokes interesting stuff my friends feel I should see but this one I really liked

by Maya Angelou

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...

enough money within her control to move out
and rent a place of her own,

even if she never wants to or needs to..



A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....

something perfect to wear if the employer,

or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour...



A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..

a youth she's content to leave behind....



A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...

a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to
retelling it in her old age....



A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .....

a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra...



A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....

one friend who always makes her laugh... and one who lets her cry...



A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....

a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her
family...



A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...

eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems,

and a recipe for a meal,

that will make her guests feel honored...



A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..

a feeling of control over her destiny...



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

how to fall in love without losing herself..



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

how to quit a job,

break up with a lover


EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

when to try harder... and WHEN TO WALK AWAY...



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

that she can't change the length of her calves,
the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents..



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

that her childhood may not have been perfect...but it's over...



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

what she would and wouldn't do for love or more...



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
how to live alone... even if she doesn't like it...



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW.. .

whom she can trust,
whom she can't,
and why she shouldn't take it personally...



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

where to go...
be it to her best friend's kitchen table..
or a charming Inn in the woods...
when her soul needs soothing...


EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

What she can and can't accomplish in a day...
a month...and a year...
