Still Vertical



It's been such a long time since I last posted. I had surgery a month ago and my daughter and grandson spent 2 weeks with me to help in recovery. Best medicine ever!
He was able to wear some of the knits I made for him since it was truly winter here. Here's the cute Norwegian sweater:

Here's the original post re this sweater. http://marzipanknits.blogspot.com/2011/06/four-star-norwegian-sweater-for-baby.html

My darling grandson is 5 months old now.

I treated myself with Photoshop Elements 10 to use on my new Windows 7 laptop. My old Photoshop wouldn't work with 7, so I had to bite the bullet. Actually, I found Photoshop 7 to be pretty difficult. I'd learn a technique and promptly forget how to do it. Elements is more user friendly with lots of things automated. I'll never be a professional photo editor anyway, so I like the ease of use. I've been watching YouTube tutorials on PSE10 and they're helpful.

I plan to get back to machine knitting soon---and will post more free patterns and patterns for sale in the near future! Stay tuned!
