I can't believe I did this

OK. So I set up this blog with an alternate email address that I don't ever use. Now, I can't access the admin stuff using my gmail address. Would one of you (if you're still out there), add lisaburley7@gmail.com as an admin?

Thanks. Geez. I can't believe the things I do sometimes.

I'm trying this again

I'm once again going to try to keep knitting regularly and writing here consistently. Wish me luck.

Right now, I'm working on a gold fun fur 15x15 scarf. I'm almost finished with it and will post a picture when it's done.

My daughter Noelle has started knitting some. I hope she'll share some projects here.

Also, I'm on Ravelry now since it's unblocked on campus finally. I'm lisab7. Don't know what I'll do with it, but I am signed up!

Here's hoping I will be a more consistent knitter and writer. :-)

Last Minute Booties

I tried something a little different to get some substance to the ties... I wove the thread through the top of the booties and then crocheted a chain... made the pom poms and tied to the chain. Hope my friend likes them!

Last Minute Baby Booties

Nothing like waiting until the night before the shower to complete Baby Booties! I love the lavender!

My first ever baby blanket

Hi all: Here's my new baby niece and her mother, Crystal. This was my first ever baby blanket (which you have seen) but it always takes on more meaning when it's ON the child! HA!

Just for future reference

I found this and didn't want to lose it. I'm embedding it here so I won't have to look for it again.

Laziness, thy name is Lisa.

Well, how about that?

Susan, I absolutely love what you're doing! The blanket looks fantastic and I'm very proud of you for learning to purl. It's really not that hard and it opens up whole new worlds to you.

Have you read any of Debbie Macomber's "Good Yarn" books? I've finished the four that are published already and another one is coming out soon. It's inspired me to keep learning and stretching to do more. I even bought the yarn to do a triangular prayer shawl. I'm going to use Lion Brand Homespun in a beautiful, deep purple color called "Gothic." I saw a pattern in one of the Prayer Shawl books that I'm going to use, but I'm trying to find a free one online instead of paying for the book. Is that bad? I hope not.

I'm excited about your new niece. How did they wind up living in Peru?

Ooh, ooh, ooh! I am also now the proud owner of patterns for pink ribbon hats for breast cancer awareness! I'll have to learn how to use a cable needle and actually take stitches off the needle for a bit. The thought scares me to death, but I really want to make the hat.

Thanks so much for sharing the pictures. I love seeing what you're doing. I really, really like that blanket. What kind of yarn did you use?
