Hello from Houston, TX

Hi,

I am having one heck of a time trying to find this book! My local library does not have. I found 2 on eBay but when the bidding hit $75+ I stopped. I really want to make the Eliz 1 sweater, plus woould like to see what else she has in the book. My KNOW group sent out an email to the members and no one has it either. So I am stuck as to where and when I can make this sweater. The ones I have seen on the blog are just beautiful and the colors are awesome. Anyway Ibest get to my introduction lol.
I'm Cheryl and I am a 100% service-connected disabled veteran, and so is my husband Michael we live in the Houston area of TX. Since I (we) no longer work I need to keep busy with all this free time I now have. We share a beautiful home with Sir Angus Seton and Rita our two small dogs. After a 20+ yr. hiatus I picked up knitting again and I am having the greatest time making gifts for others and family. I have taken classes to learn how to do lace knitting (small scarf), cables and also socks I learned how to make them on my own!! I have many projects on many needles to keep me busy and when I get bored with one I can work on another. I am looking to learn how to spin and hope to start classes in the fall. Presently I have the following projects OTN: Spa Sox ~ D. Bliss Cashmerino; Mystery Stole 3 ~ Zephyr Lace yarn in Mahogany w/Czech Glass Beads in Red Rainbow color (put on the shelf for now), Forest Canopy using 1-ply pure wool fingering yarn from Mirari Crafts an eBay store , from a new friend named Marie. It is a beautiful yarn and the colorway is rich shades of violet, pink and golden yellow.

I finished a shrug for my daughter’s 28th birthdaypresent; I used 3 balls of D. Bliss Stella in #9 Red, which is a silk, rayon and cotton yarn, just finished Forest Canopy Shoulder shawl in Vintage Silk Maiden & Louisa Harding’s Grace and anoaather shrug for a friend in Nashua's Cilantro the bodyy is aqua and the trim is bright white. Other projects on the needles: Bee Fields Shawl, I aim using 100% Merino lace weight from Yarn Tree House and the colorway is Bloom. This colorway reminds me of rainbow sherbet colors lol; 1 more Forest Canopy's; I also make one of a kind jewelry using sterling silver and semi-precious gemstone beads. I also make stitch markers using Sterling Silver and Swarovski Crystals and other types of beads. My DH is going to get the 2 different yarns for me for future projects and also the Honey Bee Stole pattern. Then there is the lacey baby cap that is about half way done. Well I better get moving time for some herbal tea and knitting. I look forward to making some new friends in this group. Have a nice evening all.

Cheryl (or my friends call me CW)
