Well I did it again, haven't kept up on blogging. I am too busy to blog. Knitting, sewing, creating and now, writing a pattern. Here is the pattern for the cabled cowl:

I tried different needles and yarns. I am now using a size 17 needle with 2 strands of Bernet felting natural wool.

Provisional cast on 34 stitches

set up 2 rows: k4, p1, k2, p1, k18, p1, k2,p1, k4

knit the knits, purl the purls

Row 1: K4,P1, Slip next stitch on cable needle and hold in back, K1, knit the stitch on the cable needle, p1,knit 3 sts; slip 3  stitches to a cable needle and hold them to the back of the work, knit 3 stitches, return the slipped stitches to the left needle and knit them; slip 3 stitches to a cable needle and hold them to the front of the work, knit 3 stitches, return the slipped stitches to the left needle and knit them; knit 3 sts

Row 2,4,6,8,10,12:  Knit the knits and purl the purls

Row 3,5,9,11: K4,P1, Slip next stitch on cable needle and hold in back, K1, knit the stitch on the cable needle, p1, k18, p1, slip next stitch on cable needle and hold in front, k next stitch, k stitch on cable needle, P1, K4

Row 7: K4,P1, slip 3 stitches to a cable needle and hold them to the front of the work, knit 3 stitches, return the slipped stitches to the left needle and knit them; knit  6 sts; slip 3 stitches to a cable needle and hold them to the back of the work, knit 3 stitches, return the slipped stitches to the left needle and knit them

Complete these 12 rows until desired length. Remove provisional cast on and do a 3 needle bind off to connect.

I am going to try and keep up with this....can't promise

I should just start all over with a new blog!! I have been posting on FB all of my projects, comings and goings. It's just so easy! 
I was talking to a FB friend, whom I've never met, about blogging etc and she convinced me to pick up my keyboard and write. She wants me to post my projects. Which I will hopefully get around to very soon. In the meantime I will post links to two of my youtube videos to get started. Be sure to watch my other videos and follow me on youtube, you never know what I will come up with next.
Here is my most popular video, How to make a vinyl fitted tablecloth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saS2kykLec0&list=UU9oQkn9KkmYWFWHEEXEkD9Q 
with over 14,000 views, hope you like it.
This one I put on a few weeks ago, How to make an iron board cover:

It's dark but you'll get the point. 

I'll also let you in on a mission of mine, replacing my kitchen granite and sink. Although my house is not quite 6 years old I have a problem with my black granite and sink. Shows too many fingerprints and smudges. Ray Hall does not agree with me and since he is the one with the money, it is not happening any time soon. So I am selling everything I find on ebay to do it myself. I need to get a cost in mind so I really have a goal but in the meantime I keep selling.

That's it for today....come see me again soon!
