Knitting Jewelry by A MultiMedia Maniac

 You would think that working with this beautiful Blue Homespun yarn would be enough eye candy for any knitter.
It seems it's not enough for ME.  I'm always looking for more ways to enhance my projects!
Why O Why can't I settle on just ONE pretty yarn and get on with the knitting?
 After many years of getting to know MySelf, I think I have finally figured it out.
I have 'SAS'...Yep, I'm Short Attention Span Sue!
And, the cure is often a 'MixItUp' Pill which labels me a MultiMedia Maniac!
What started out as a Knitted Scarf in Homespun yarn morphed into a Triple Threat Thread
issue with the addition of a Mixed Ribbony Eyelashy yarn and a Ribbon yarn.
When I have an attack of 'SAS', switching needles always helps.
So, on this project I switched from knitting needles to a crochet hook...the same color of blue...of course.

And, as if that's not enough of a MultiMedia Maniac issue,
 I can 'OneUp MySelf' with Knitting Jewelry!
These pieces I made from collected Navajo Jewelry and beads.
It's good to be a SAS MultiMedia Maniac!

FridayNiteW/Friends...I Knitted

Friday Night with Friends is an ONLINE Group hosted by Cheryl at Gone Stitchin'.   For the First Friday of the Month, Cheryl posts a Linky List with this encouraging 'LeadIn'....
...Get your project in mind, tee up the hubby to feed the children, chill the wine... and come on by on Friday night to sit and sew, stitch, knit or crochet... what ever YOU like to do... we just do it with blog FRienDs.
Link up now and then on Saturday go visit the other "friends" who participated and see what they accomplished.
No one judges... we only encourage.

EverYOnE is WeLComE...
 Don't you just LOVE the enthusiasm and ingenuity of the Young Women of the TwentyFirst Century?
They are making the most of technology and taking
Sewing, Quilting, Knitting, Crocheting, Needlework and Crafting to a Whole New Level.
As an 'Old School Gal', I'm here to tell you that it's never too late to 'Teach An Old Dog Gal' NEW TRICKS, and I'm so enjoying the ONLINE Groups, Guilds, and SewOn (etc etc etc).  With that said, I'm also here to tell you that being a member of one's Local Brick and Mortar Guilds, is, and hopefully always will be, an important aspect of Needlework and Crafting.   
This is what I worked on Friday Night and am sharing with my Friday Night Online Friends.
My Local Knitting Guild, the Concho Valley Knitters, are knitting blocks for our Charity Project.
Here's December's block, 'The Basket Weave'.
I hope to make several before our next meeting. 
If I don't get to Repeating Rows 13 thru 16 pretty quick...I'll be on this same block for
NEXT Months Friday Night With Friends!
That would be a Good Thing...the Wine is chilled!
