The SchoolHousePress Knit A Long

I started this blog several months ago with the help of my brother (thank you) a place to enter all of my many knitting projects. It seems like all I have been writing about is my walks and my grand kids but not much knitting since to the Olympics games. Although I have been walking a lot I also have found time to knit the last project was not easy.

I belong to a lot of different knitting groups on line 15 in all and they all have knit-a-longs were you talk about the project on line and share photo's boy there are a lot of people who can knit a lot better then me. So this is the latest

The Pansy Triangle Shawl

by Amy Detjen

Yarn:Knitpicks 70% Merino Wool 30% Silk 3 skins

Color: Burgundy

Needle: Size 6

I think it turned out great so thank you Amy for your nice design and I look forward to doing your next knit a along. Mom thank you for getting the yarn for me I think the person that will be getting this for Christmas will like it a lot.

Next project is to get that red sweater off the needles for Mom.... Oh and I almost forgot I brought some of Revel's hair home and I have a small amount that I washed I'll need a lot more of his hair and I'll need to learn how to spin it so stick around someday their might be a scarf or a pair of socks made from this beautiful dog.

I walked from Aptos to Capitola and back

Friday my Brother, Tara and the two dogs Libby and Revel went for a walk I thought it was only going to be about 5 miles boy was I surprised the sun was out and the company was great. I love looking at all of the little cottages and yards the ocean is beautiful too and the otters are cute but the homes are something. So when I looked at my pedometer which I have been wearing everyday I was stuned we walked 12.40 miles that's 27,292 steps from my Brothers front door back to his front door (oh my) I have not walked that far in years. I know that Libby has never walked that far she did great and seemed to have a good time with her friend Revel.


I signed up for Chomp's It's my Life you have to submit weekly mileage report they want us to walk 10,000 steps a day every Wed you submit your steps at the end we get a t-shirt when this is done. It's only Sunday and already have 57, 650 steps since Monday I don't know how I'm going to top this every week.



Our next trip will be Toro Park but it will have to wait until January. In the mean time Libby and I will keep up walking.
