Thanks, Dave....
My friend, Dave Daniels, was so kind to post about my new blog. He's a good guy! So, if he brought you here, tell him Paul said hello! And yes, I do knit, and if things work out the way they are supposed to, there will be a pic of some scarves I recently made or am working on:
Ok, so not a great picture by any means, but it's a start. The striped scarf is a pattern from "Scarf Style" ed. by Pam Allen. The green scarf is a stitch called "Harris Tweed" from "mon tricot 1100 Stitches and Patterns" that I worked into a scarf. The scarf in progress is called Misty Garden from "Scarf Style". I'm working it in Paton's Divine (which I think is really difficult to work with and I really hate knitting with it - not that I'm bitter or anything...). (And I think I deserve an "A" for effort, for I did attempt to make a tableau of my projects al a "Cabin Cove" tradition - what do ya think, Dave, I tried......)
Thank you all for visiting and leaving the very nice, supportive comments. Any friends of Dave's.....

Wow, you really DO knit! The Misty Garden is a beautiful piece. I'm surprised you don't like the Divine yarn, but what's in a name...
Nice styling of the photo, too.
So, Dave sent me. Welcome to the world of knit blogs!
I just found Dave's blog today and low and behold he leads me to yet another man that knits. Do you knit in public? Welcome to the world of blogging.
NICER photograph! And I love that quilt everything is on.
I can see someone is getting obsessed already! Awe, you do me proud, my friend. lol
Wow, Dave! You have really good eyes! Yes, indeed, that is a quilt under the scarves, and a different picture than the one I originally posted. My goodness, can't pull the wool over your eyes! lol!
Rise - good to see you. And no, I haven't had the chance to knit in public. In Upstate rural NY, I'd probably take the risk of being run out of town on a rail... lol. For me, knitting is a "sit in front of the tv after a long day" kinda thing. Thanks for stopping by!
Welcome Paul...any friend of Dave's is certainly worth checking out, harassing and making fun of..
Wait...Dave said give it time before the tormenting begins!
:o)
Just kidding..welcome to the blogging community. I will add you on my Bloglines list to adequately stalk--I mean read your blogs.
Ann
P.S. Please do not run from cyberspace screaming, I really am quite harmless.
Nice blog dude! Keep it up!
Thanks Ann! I've always wanted to be stalked, and I guess this is just opening the door and saying "come on in!".
And thank you, Drew. You have an awesome site! Thanks for the encouragement!
Hi Paul! Welcome! From another fellow Upstater (in between Kingston and Oneonta if you knwo where that is), well actually exUpstate/NYer, now in NC. Dave sent me over to check you out, oh oops not you, your blog LOL.
I love your scarves, especially the green "Harris Tweed."
Welcome to the fold Paul...looking forward to lots of great posts and pics of your work.
Congratulations, and the scarves look devine.
Clicking here, clicking there, clicking everywhere ... end up at .... Paul's house. Hi, Paul!
What a great name! And is that Lizzie of the infamous gurgling stomach up there on the left?
I love that Harris Tweed. Well all of them!
Welcome to the blog world and how nice to click "visit Paul" and actually go somewhere :-)

Wow, this is really getting cool! Thank you all for stopping by, and it's been a hoot to visit your blogs as well!
Tristan, Glad you're home and doing better, and yes Susan, that is My Lizzie of the infamous gurgling tummy!
Welcome, Paul! I look forward to reading your blog in my 'morning knitting fix' rotation. :)
Hi Paul, friend of Dave. Welcome to Knitbloglandia!
Great scarves :)
Welcome to the blogginess, Paul! As another CNY person, I'm always glad to find more knitters.
Your scarves look great!
Paul,
Yes, Dave sent me over! And, I'm glad to see you are joining the rest of us and blogging! This could be very addictive!
I will add you to my favorite blogs that I read on a daily basis!
Again, welcome...
Oooooo I love the green scarf. The texture looks really cool. Is that a basket weave or some kind of ribbing? :D
Congratulations on your new blog! I saw the linkie here via Dave's Blog. ;)
I hope you enjoy your blogging experience!

Greetings from the Pacific Northwest!!!
Hi Paul! I am coming here through our pal, Dave Daniels (he’s quite a guy). Congratulations on your new blog! I haven’t yet taken the blogging plunge yet, but am edging closer and closer to the diving board. Your scarves are great! (and I wondered about that Patons Divine stuff – I was going to make something with it once but didn’t – maybe I just won’t…). Happy knitting!
Hi Sue. The Paton's yarn I just find a little difficult to knit with - not that's it's impossible - if it were, they wouldn't be selling any... Thanks for stopping by.
Hey Paul - wondered over from Dave's neck of the woods. Welcome to blogland!!
Scarves are looking great!
Hi ya! Dave said theres a party gong on over here. Welcome to blogland. Wow, great crowd, its elbow to elbow in here. Someone hand me an hourederve. Hey, watch it! That better be a knitting needle : )
Welcome to the wonderful bloggesphere of knitters :) Don't you love knitting scarves!? I do - they are not too much and let you try new things with a small investment of time and money. :)
Hello, Paul! Nice to know I'm not the only one that's knitting while watching tv. Now you need to knit while reading knitting blogs. ;^)
Okay, so I'll start the official betting pool: How long before Paul buys a wheel? With friends like Dave...
My in: 3 1/2 months.
Good luck, Paul, and don't drink the Kool-Aid. Dave has switched to acid dyes.
Oh, wow, how FAMOUS do you feel? The Royal Rock Chick has posted on YOUR blog? Shit, you rate.
