Good day to you all! I'd like to welcome my latest follower, Sarah Evans. Welcome to the group! Thank you for joining the party!!!
Here it is Wednesday once again. The day we all stop to visit desks from around the world, courtesy of our host Julia at Stamping Ground. Be warned, it's slightly addicting. All kinds of artists participate so it makes for some interesting desks!
Do you see something wrong with the vest that I'm knitting?!? It's not that obvious in the photo, but just imagine my distress!

| Oh no!
This vest is knitted sideways; the hole you see there is the first armhole. I got to the point of binding off some stitches for the second armhole and wouldn't you know it -- they are at the wrong end of the vest..... So, I'm going to have to backtrack and undo my bind offs. This will be a new experience for me! Wish me luck...

I took a class at the new craft store in town. This was based on something that was done at CHA. It's a monthly book full of fun tags, etc. We put the book together and then did the month of January.

As always, I will do my best to visit those that visit me (please leave your number) and end in the same number as me. It may be the weekend before I get around.
What have you been up to lately?
Peace,
Kay

Hullo there Kay,
A great creative space today! love the wee book with tags - lovely knitting but - oh the distress indeed cant you just shift your arm?? :D well maybe not!
Thanks so much for popping over and for sharing ~ happy WOYWW! Shaz in Oz.x #no number yet
Wow, Kay the book looks great!
For all the knitting I've ever done (a lot!) about half of it has been unpicking!
Have a good week.
I feel your pain. Knitting can be so frustrating sometimes.
I love the little book. I just picked up the same papers last week at my LSS. I haven't even taken them out of the bag.
WOW Kay love the stripy pink knit. Sorry to hear you are having to redo...every thing I knit has redo's to it! Love the book. I love the Graphic 45 papers! Have a great week. Vickie #5
Morning Kay, sorry I dont knit so I was looking at your vest thinking should there be a hole in it! obviously that was not the problem, anyway at least the problem is correctable allbeit boring. I love your tag book made with your graphic 45 papers. Have a great day. Hugs Mo x

What a lovely mini album Kay, & what a pian that you've got to unravile some of your knitting. Happy woyww Jill #15
I did that book at CHA (see my blog in January) and then won one done by Laura D herself.
Enjoy making it but put the the dates on mounts so you can change them and use it again year after year.
Not sure what to say about the knitting except OUCH! Good luck with the unpicking.
Thanks for sharing - Hugs, neet xx (2)
oh love your book it looks great.. What cute little tags it has in it too. Good luck with the knitting.

I couldn't see the problem even after you told me..I'm utterly hopeless at knitting. Will it help if I tell you that I love the colour you're using?!! What a great class you took, useful, full of stuff and finished..result!
Love your knitting and your tag book! Enjoy desk hopping. Take care Zo xx 87
Kay, Your book is fabulous. I do love those papers. I don't knit so I did not notice any thing wrong. #86
Aww, what a shame about your knitting Kay, it’s frustrating when you have to unpick it but you’ll be just fine, honest. Loving the wool you’re using.
How lovely to have a new craft shop close by. The one I used to go to closed down so now there’s nowhere near here to go to classes. Sounds like you enjoyed yours thought and that little tag book looks fantastic.
Happy Crafting!

Hi Kay! I know nothing about knitting, but I do wish you luck unbinding!
Now your tag book, that is genius! Really adorable in every way and each tag is precious! Yummo!!
Have a wonderful week! Darnell #42
I love your Tag Book I'll have to make one for my road trip! Yes you should def get the Amy Tan embroidery kits. The only place that I was able to get them was from allscrapbooksteals.com because they had both in stock! Also they are 25% off and you can use a coupon on top of it! I am def a stampaholic and have major stampitis. I need to stop finding new stamps and wanting them ALL! lol hope you are having a wonderful WOYWW and thanks for visiting my blog :)
Oh no! You poor thing...I hope you managed to get the knitting sorted. I cannot knit...me and thread are a walking disaster zone...so can't offer any advice. That book is stunning. Thanks for sharing. Happy WOYWW. Caro xx #81
Hi Kay i have to admit i had trouble working out the vest, good luck with the undoing. I like to call it reverse stitch!!!
your book is fabulous, I look froward to seeing the next month.

Hope it doesn't take you too long to rectify the mistake on the vest. Gorgeous little book you've made.
Linda #68
I think if I tried knitting there would be no arm holes at all!!! Good Luck with the unpicking, Kay.
Your tag book is gorgeous, what a great idea. Love all the words on the cover.
Happy WOYWW

Oh Kay that would put me off finishing it never mind undoing. Love the book and tags. I have had quite difficult week but have managed to complete a mini book for my friend for a special birthday. :-) Anne x #162
Hi Kay,
When I see a piece of material like that I'm thinking a funny and strange stuffed animal! Never vest! Love the tag book, so many pockets and thingamajigs! Patsy from

Hi Kay! Well your vest reminded me of why I don't knit! I'm sure you will make it wonderful. I love the little book you made. Its just precious. Have a great day :)
Sorry about the vest...:( LOVE the mini album you made, looks like it will be tons of fun to fill up! Hey, we actually had a dusting of snow today, doesn't Mother Nature know it's spring? Really doesn't matter though, it's already melted! lol Hope you had a great day my friend! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina ♥
Oh My!! You are a brave one with the vest!!! And your tag album is Great! I love it!!
Thanks for sharing and I hope the vest lives for another day!
Oh did I have fun with your book! It's wonderful. Love that we can see each others projects. Your book is amazing!
Sorry, Kay, but I did chuckle at your vest ... only because I've made the same mistake in the past! Hope it didn't take you to long to correct. Love the label book - gorgeous papers and such a fun idea. Enjoy what's left of the weekend. Elizabeth x #55
OH no! Now, see... I'd just chuck it and start over--- I'm like that! Good for you for undoing it and doing it right :-)
Super tag book. BJ
