Miami

Before Kelli was born, someone gave me a shower gift with a little stuffed lamb tied to the top of the package. As soon as Kelli could, she globbed onto that lambie and never let go. Today there is nothing but a bit of well worn slightly discolored stuffing left from him that she still treasures. And it's not that any lamb could ever replace Lambie, but still I have a fondness for them and couldn't resist knitting at least one! I wasn't going to post this as Lambie Too (2?) was going to go in her Christmas stocking, but I've NEVER been one to keep surprises. Miami - My Yammie - well, she didn't say her L's too well then. But now she's all growed up!

Silence is "Golden"



Haven't had much to say lately, but I did finish a long-standing project, this no pattern knit from the bottom in the round sweater with its many foibles. First time I picked up stitches and knit down sleeves - sort of not that fun. Then I did some short-rowing that really didn't need to be done and it messed up tension totally in that area. The sleeves look a little narrow. The question is: Will it fit its intended recipient? Stay tuned for sequel.
