View my world through my rainbow colored glasses! This is real - I could not make this stuff up! ;) Despite life's obstacles I'm positively moving forward the best I can. I share My World with you so you can understand "Life is NOT a chore!" Enjoy it! Besides, I like being me too much!

Priceless

The other night at open knit after much consideration and looking at my stash I am finally knitting something, a hat. I have never made a hat and really like the pattern. There was a hat made in the window I admired only to find out it is an easy knit! The best news is it is completely made from stash yarn! After knitting the swatch in the store the pattern I really liked was for a heavier yarn so the gauge was off. The nice gal just wrote out the pattern for my yarn and needles. I get all this priceless experience and a hat for free!

I'm still sewing the Vintage sweater but it is perfect timing to have an easy, on the go project. Sewing up a sweater is not. I was back and forth on the MAX and streetcar yesterday so I have a fair bit done!
