I’m a Scardy cat

That’s right bloggers...I wimped out. I decided to let a seamstress put the zipper in Rogue. This is one cardigan that I do not want to mess up. The only zipper I could find is a dark brown. I decided to go for it because I did not want to wait until next season to have Rogue be in my FO’s album. The zipper pull is in antique brass which I do think blends well with this yarn. So now...I patienly await her arrival!

I am allmost finished my Aran Cardi...except for the seaming & the collar…

I can not wait to finish this cardi. I need an opinion though. I did short rows for the shoulders for a smooth line. I intended to do the 3 needle bind off. Would an Aran weight cardigan be too heavy to support this bind offf...or should I bind off first & then seam it? Please feel free to comment.

This is not the clearest photo, but I’m going to use these Pony Wool Needles to seam this cardi. My housekeeper must have accidently vacuumed up my cable needle...so in the process of buying another set, I found these seaming needles which I have been told were awesome.
I have also done the first bind offs for the right front of Olive…

I haven’t been working on Olive a lot as I wanted to finish my Aran Cardi. The rest of this piece shouldn’t take too long...as long as I do some knitting on her.

RAOK News…
I recieved a couple RAOK’s in the past week.

This is from Shannon I love flip flops & these stitch markers are just adorable. And who can resist fine Chocolate...not I! Thanks Shannon.

This one is from Maggie. There are 2 soaps from the Bellagio in Las Vevas & a collectable gambling coin. I have never stayed there but I heard it is fabulous. I hear it is a favorite place to stay while in Vegas. The soap smells wonderful. Thank you so much Maggie!

Last week, my Mom & I went to The Little Greenhouse. It is an Orchid house in the area. The last time I went there was last year when the 17 year Locusts were out. That was a crazy visit. Anyway...we bought some orchids. Here is a pic of the big arrangement I bought…

This is so gorgeous in person that I had to have it. My Mom twisted my arm. I put it on my foyer table & it looks stunning. I was a bad girl...I bought 6 more orchids besides this one. It has been awhile since I bought any since I usually wait for my older ones to rebloom. Here are a couple more photos I took while at the Orchid House…




I sure hope I don’t bore you all too much with my Orchid photos. I just feel the need to share their beauty!

Have a fabulous weekend!!!
