Another Blues Brothers

Scott asked me to make a Blues Brothers cutting for a sales/repair guy that is at his company for the week. So I did a smaller version.

Learning to Crochet

Well today I took my first class on crochet through the library. The teacher seems very nice and she was very patient with our small group. Her instructions were very clear and she went to each and every one of us to make sure that we were doing the stitches that she taught us correctly.

So of course now that I'm home I've been crusing the internet and have found some video for crochet that I am putting links to on my blog so that it is easy to get to not only for myself but for anyone who visits here.

The following videos can all be found at:

Well, that's more than enough to get anyone started!

I'll post a picture of what ever it is that I actually accomplish with my crochet when it ever gets done.

In the mean time, I'll continue to knit and cut and find weird song and what not to amuse myself.

Test Knitting for Susan

I'm in a Dishcloth group where the designer will ask for volunteers every now and then to test knit her designs.

This past weekend I test knitted a Rocking Horse, I did it in Pale Pink, but the scanner picture came out white





















and the camera picture wasn't good either.

I also knitted the number 18 in a Pale Purple.

Reverend Jim's driving test

Scott's cutting

Well, I guess that I am just a paper cutting machine these past few days. Scott brought home the Blues Brothers cutting that I had done for him back in 2003 because it was fading really badly, I had cut it out of construction paper because I didn't know about card stock at the time. So I cut another one for him and then I elevated it with foam board right above the faded original which gave the new cutting a cool shadow effect. Any way, here is the new cutting.
