My Web Page

I have a web page (in progress) that lists several of my interests in life. This is probably where I'll be posting the new crochet and knitting videos for sale. Here's the web page address:

As I'm making the next few videos, what would you be interested in seeing?

My Knit Afghan-in-progress

The pink and blue strips are both made of the cable stitch. I'll post those at a later date.

This afghan was supposed to be finished by the time my 1st grandchild was born. Well, she's 1 now, and I'm hoping to have it finished for her brother or sister's arrival around Thanksgiving!

New videos to be published soon

Within the next 2 weeks, I will be recording more videos. I plan to make them to sell. Some of the content I will be recording is: granny squares, ripples and shell stitches. I also plan to make videos on how to knit.

Knitting - New Method of Terms

For my fellow knitting friends, I am hearing about a new way to read knitting terms. In an effort to make knitting terms understandable to all languages. I will be checking this out, and will write more on it. Check back!

SparkPeople

I've recently run across this site:

www.sparkpeople.com

It's a site devoted to becoming a healthier person - with your diet, exercise, etc.

It's a place where I can enter in all the foods that I eat each day, and SparkPeople adds up all your calories for you. It also keeps track of your whole week of calories, carbs, fat, protein, etc. They give you daily meal plans, if you want to use that feature.

But that is just the start! There are so many SparkPeople support groups! From a group that says how much you want to lose, to many other hobby groups that you can join, if you like! Some groups have challenges to sign up for.

For those of you who want to lose a few pounds, I recommend this site!

Crochet Hook Charts
