Here I am!

I have been missing in action. But the good news is that I have a new camera and hopefully I will figure it out well enough to post some pictures. Today I will attempt to share pictures of a simple finished scarf. It is made from one skein of Holo Hoops yarn and makes a lovely glitzy scarf.
It will dress up anything from blue jeans and a blouse to a pretty evening dress.So lets give this new camera a test run.
Not sure of the quality because of the glitziness of this yarn. So bare with me.
Don't forget to check out close up's by clicking on the pictures.

Blue Sky Alpaca Boot Warmers

YEE HAA, Yippee, I got a few pictures of my finished bootwarmers and the disk drive on the old computer cooperated tonight.
So here you go. Aren't these fun?

I am very excited to have them and plan to do a red pair also. The alpaca yarn is so soft and fun to work with. I am planning to use some sport weight in a hat/scarf set for me.

Printer has arrived

Well the new printer is here and I have had it working twice, but now it isn't working again. I have had tech support helping me via phone and the local ISP has been to the house once.
Why do I have these issues? I honestly haven't messed anything up on my own, it just keeps loosing contact. HMMM, I guess I will be contacting tech support again. I am tired.

Now on to the knitting! Yesterday, I finished a fun pair of boot warmers from Blue Sky Alpaca.
They are currently on display in the the store. I will try to get a picture with my camera and see if I can get the old computer to cooperate in the upload process. The Dofuku Kimono is coming along nicely, and I am thinking of starting a hat, scarf, mitten set for the upcoming cold weather
I am also looking at new camera's so please bear with me. In the mean time, I will share the picture of the boot warmers from the pattern it's self.

I will be attending a guild class today on how to do socks on 2 circs. I already do the Magic Loop technique and love it, but figure it can't hurt to know another technique. Anyway, no pictures of any finished objects this post, but perhaps by the end of the weekend.

Computer progress

Well I ordered the proper printer today, lets hope when it arrives, that it is the one I want.

I also installed a bunch of software today. The biggy was the Adobe Photoshop. Hopefully I will get some great photo's if I ever figure out how to use the program and update my camera.

In the mean time, I am going to share a picture of the Dofuku Kimono that I am in the process of making. Yarn being used can be seen in prior post. I am just beginning sleeve number 2.
