Oh, G, I love your Gemini -- what a great color and it looks wonderful on you. Now about those skeins of Skein!! <3
ReplyDeleteAhhh, those skeins of Skein. I picked it for the Hogwarts Express because I think it's Owlies-appropriate and the Owlie border will look great, especially with green beaded eyes.

Your Gemini looks super duper Gerry! Once again a lovely knit flying off your needles! I am binding off my cardigan and then on to the sleeves. My daughter gave me some very pretty yarn for mother's day and I will hopefully be casting on an Annabel cardigan soon.
ReplyDeleteIs your Annabel cardi the one of Rav with what looks to me like a seed stitch?
DeleteTracey, anything you knit is beautiful.
hugs
Hey Gerry! OMG, that sweater is gorgeous....and looks wonderful on you, too! I also really love the color of that yarn that you've chosen for your Hogwarts Express Shawl...yummy!
ReplyDeleteXOXO,
Cyndi
I'm looking forward to working on the Hogwarts and may even attempt some sort of cardigan with some of the same yarn.
DeleteAnd, I'm wild for that Pink Raspberry color.
hugs
What a beautiful sweater, the colour is so nice on you.
ReplyDeleteYes, I do LOVE PINK RASPBERRY
Deletethanks for visiting me
hugs
Totally adorable, and the color looks so great on you. Quite an accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteShelley the yarn is neat to work with
Deleteand
launders up like crazy.
More Ultra Pima Cotton is on my knitting horizon

Just went back through some posts...my you've been busy:) And quilting books too? Wow. Someday I'll be able to have time for crafty stuff again. When I do, it's counted cross stitch. Use to sit for hours doing it. Now I'm too busy trying to survive in this economy. That being said, I'm off to work:) You have a great day with your needles, creating more beauty.
ReplyDeleteOh, Vicki, I gave up doing counted cross stitch,
Deletemy eyes refuse to focus on those dinky wholes. :*)
hugs
That is such a pretty top, the color is so bright and happy (perfect for spring weather)! How could you not constantly smile while wearing it? It looks fantastic on you, congrats!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, it is a happy color. It's just when I get in front of that camera - - -
DeleteThanks for stopping by
hugs
Gemini turned out great. The little owls will look lovely in the yarn you chose. Keep 'em comin'.
ReplyDeleteAccounted for all my circs this morning and found I have nine projects on the needles :*)
Deletehugs
Oh, so lovely. I'm feeling the purple in the garden this year and so that yarn is right up my alley. Can't wait to see how this next project turns out. OK, it's another beauty here today, so......off and out I go....
ReplyDeleteThe purple is purrrfect this year. Your garden is looking magnificent, Kate. As I said, I'm a slacker in the gardening arena.
DeleteThanks for visiting
hugs
I have absolutely no talent for knitting and am always so impressed by those who do! Good going!!
ReplyDeleteI'm finding real joy with my knitting time. It surprizes me since I have many interests relating to needlework, but lately all I want to do is knit.
DeleteLove your work, Victoria.
hugs
The colour suits you to a tee!! Job well done. Another pattern to bookmark on Ravelry. I have been eyeing Skein yarn ever since Knitabulls mentioned it; yours are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMy daydream is being on an alpaca farm surrounded by cute furry creatures. Knitting of course, and sipping a glass of super cold Chardonnay. Instead, I am in my office, surrounded by unloving paperwork and Starbucks Jet Fuel. Sigh. I like my daydream much better.
Hugs, veelau
Knitabulls is where I learned of Skein. Her shawl was terrific.
DeleteHey, we live on those DayDreams, don't we.
As far as that Gemini and the Pink Raspberry - I'll tell you right now that color just makes my heart sing. Have one skein left and just might have to buy a couple more.
hugs
Your Gemini is fantastic - I love the colour! I'm rather fancying knitting one of these myself now :)
ReplyDeleteAnd that yarn for your shawl!!!! Oh my, it is delicious!
I will make something else using that very same color "Pink Raspberry" before year's end.
DeleteCan you believe the shawl can't be co 'til the 27th for Camp Loopy.
It's taking all the will power I have not to co NOW ! ! ! ! !
thanks for the inspiration to knit on
hugs
By Gemini, that is absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI want to see it modeled on Wednesday.
I am knitting a baby hat for a money-raising project...already finished the booties. Another friend is making the blankie.
My daydream is to sit and knit ALL the time....wait, I already do that;)
I've been busy with several other knitting projects as well as straighten my Fabric Stash
DeleteMmm! I love the colour for your Hogwarts Express Shawl. The Gemini sweater is pretty! Just right for summer! It's funny to see your side of the world is all green and sunny now that we're in the shadow of winter.
ReplyDeleteHave to say, we are enjoying the green that Spring brings. Not that we had a 'bad' winter, but still look forward to the greens and blossoms.

ReplyDeleteOOps sorry I have fat fingers today! Your finished jumper looks great and I love the colour of that new yarn.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. Thank goodness for Internet shopping, so far haven't been disappointed how each yarn is represented for sale. Mostly the colors are spot on in person.
Deletehugs
OH MY Gosh your beautiful and so is your top. I love how this turned out.
ReplyDeleteThe color on you is prefect.
I so wish I could get your haircut. Every time I go to the beauty shop and tell them to cut my hair off they refuse. Crazy right. I need to take this picture of you and tell them this is what I want to look like.
Love ya
Maggie
PS
ReplyDeleteI should do this too with the reply button. Is it easy to do. lol
Love
Maggie
Love the Hogwarts Express pattern. I did a baby sweater just before I left MO and it used the cable owls. (Pic on my ravelry page) They were fun after I got comfortable with them. I look forward to seeing how the shawl progresses in that lovely yarn.
ReplyDeleteHappy knitting!
Hi Gerry!
ReplyDeleteI love your sweater! It looks great, and that is a fantastic color for you!
Gotta love the color. Have one skein leftover. May have to buy another one or two and find another project.
Deletehugs
This yarn is gorgeous! can't wait to see the shawl! :)
