1940 census
Wow I have spent about a month and a half indexing and arbitrating on the 1940 census. It has been alot of fun. I have also spent time searching for people too. I have found My Great Aunt Clara in Illinois and my Great Uncle Ray in California. The state of Arizona is done just waiting for it to be put on line searchable by name and then I can find my Grand parents on my mom side. Soon I will be able to find even more family on it too.
Not the best photo. Trying to get someone to put it on so I can get a photo. Pattern hopefully by the end of the week.
Working on new pattern
Today I decided to do a pattern for a bearded beanie on the loom. I got it done and now I just need to get photos and work my notes up for a pattern.
I am hoping to be more regular on this My daughter told me I should. So with her incouragement I think it might work.

Knitting Thimble
After I started my sock I found this Knitting Thimble at Wal-Mart.
I was have trouble with loosing the yarn tension when I would do the purl stitchs. I would use the tip of my finger to hold the loop and I would loose the yarn. This thimble help me keep track of the yarn and knitting went faster. As you can see there are to curling hooks on it. I used the one up front for the yarn. If you were using two differnet colors of yarn and changing back and forth you would hook one color on one of the hooks and the other on the other hook. I am so glad I found this little knitting gadget.
Kitchen Set
Kitchen Set
These are both knitted on the Blue Knifty Knitter
I used Cotton yarn.
Use two stands of yarn.
Knit using the e- wrap
Dish Soap Cover
Row 1 – 10 knit
Turn brim knit off
Row 11- 27 knit
Row 28 mock crochet stitch around
Row 29 – 36 knit
Take off with gathering method ( don’t pull to tight you need to make the hole big enough to fit around the bottle top)
Then I crochet a cord for it. I didn’t keep track of how many chain stitches i did. Do make it long enough tie around the bottle. I did chain a length and then a chain stitch back in all the chains.
Then weave the cord you made in and out of the moch crochet row. Slip over a dish soap bottle and tie a bow
Towel Holder
Rows 1- 10 Knit
Turn to make brim
Rows 11 – 20 Knit
Take off with gathering stitch leave hole big enough to fit the I-Cord
make I-cord about 10 to 12 inches long tie both ends together to make a loop
insert cord though the hole and then loop towell over the icord under the top part and
pull the I cord tight .
Now you have a item that looks like abell holding a towel. you can put it on a knob or you
can loop it to fit on a bar type handle of you drawers or cuboards. I like this because i can
change the towel when needed and not have to change the top .
My First Socks!!!!
I finally finshed my first pair of socks.
made with 10 sock loom from DA
and I used clown self stripping yarn.
I had so much fum making them. I already have the yarn for the next pair of socks . They will have a higher cuff of them.
