Patriotic Kerchief

I won a skein of yarn that is from Knit Picks-Andean Silk in Campfire and didn't know what I'd do with it. Well, my grandmother is very Patriotic and wears a lot of Red, White & Blue stuff. So I knitted this kerchief, she can wear it on her neck or on her head. This was about the 12th project I tried making with the yarn. I am very happy with it. It took about 85 yards to make.

Knitter's Dream

My 5 year old learned how to knit a few weeks ago and is in the process of knitting me a scarf. This is a pic of her last night after she fell asleep.

What Tarot Card Am I?


You are The Empress


Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.


The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.


The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

What Kind of Knitter Are You?





You appear to be a Knitting Guru. You love knitting and do it all the time. While finishing a piece is the plan, you still love the process, and can't imagine a day going by without giving some time to your yarn. Packing for vacation involves leaving ample space for the stash and supplies. It can be hard to tell where the yarn ends and you begin.http://marniemaclean.com
