I have finnished!!!!!

I have succeeded in completing the simple granny square poncho I started last Sept. 2005 For my grandaughter. It took me a year. Isn't that a shame. As it is very simple to do. But she loves it. And yes it still fits.I gave it to her on her
Birthday this year.

Flat Braid Square joining

What happened to the granny square poncho for my granddaughter I started back in Sept. for her birthday? Well I am still working on it. I am using the Flat Braid Square joining. It is easy to do but has many ends to finish up. The Poncho has 24 granny squares.

What's new?

As you can see I have already messed up on my New Years goal for this blog. I told you I would load pictures of my work as I am not a writer. Well I haven't finished anything. So I guess I will post inprogress pictures along with pictures as I finish them.
Now to explain why there is no picture today, Drum roll Please!!!! I am still learning to load and down load pictures. So bear with me and have a little patience please. I shall learn and post shortly.
I hope to have one new picture a week at least. Now I am off to go learn how to load just one or two pictures from the camera to the computer. Or something like that.
Oh, can you teach an old cat new tricks??? I can leave you with a picture of Garfield.

New Year and New Year resos!

Well I have had this blog for a year and have not done a good job on it but have learn a lot from doing it.
I hope to be a better blogger this year. I believe I will do a lot more Pictures as I am not a gifted writer like a lot of you are. And you know the old saying "a picture is worth a thousand words".
I will leave you with this picture promising not be as lazy as this.
