You are so creative and have so many beautiful things going. I've wanted to tackle sock knitting, but I have trouble using double-pointed needles. I knit the "English way", I think. Or European or Continental....something odd where I need the needles tucked under my arms. I love your pastel, but what a challenge with all the convex and concave curves. That's not easy!I would love to commission you to do a rug, but then it's a big one I want to pass down through the generations in my family. Years ago at the Met in NYC I saw a rug, not sure if it was hooked, in one of the rooms of the American Wing. It was so beautiful and its borders read "Who lives to nature never can be poor. Who lives to fancy never can be rich. Much learning shows how little mortals know. Much wealth how little worldings can enjoy. At best it babys us with endless toys And keeps us children till we drop to dust."Kathryn Gloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219986011263848803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107731937160882793.post-1175278644693816742011-12-08T20:01:48.331-08:002011-12-08T20:01:48.331-08:00You are an amazing woman and a talent to be honore...You are an amazing woman and a talent to be honored.<br />Thank you for inspiring me and giving me passion to blog!<br />xxoo<br />JessyJ Linderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09550159982886652311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107731937160882793.post-49400542335469014112011-12-07T07:48:11.775-08:002011-12-07T07:48:11.775-08:00Dulcy your Noro wool looks so good!

I haven't...Hi Dulcy, I've missed your blog. I haven't blog much either as my life has been very busy on the farm and at home. By the time I leave comments on my followers' blogs there's no time to post on my own blog. I seem to always read others blogs first and think of my own last. lol...<br /><br />I love the black and white socks, it has such a nice pattern. Neat yarn. The scarf is delicious too. Someone will be very happy to receive it. <br /><br />Violet blends right in in your pretty happy colors. What a sweet kitty.<br /><br />Chicago is full of amazing things to see but I've never been there, only seen it on TV and in films. I'm more of a small city girl or country girl. I'm always happy when I see my city lights. I'm glad that you got your batteries recharged and got your creative juices flowing again. I'm waiting to see what you create.<br />Your pastel looks good enough to be on display at an art gallery. Great picture of you and hubby.<br />Have a fabulous December.
