WEEK 3 of YOP 10

How are y'all doing today?  I hope your week treated you well.  I had a normal type of week.  Well, as normal as it can be with that nasty virus running amok.  Mostly stayed home until the end of the week when I did grocery shopping and made a trip to JoAnn's for fabric for face masks.

Yes, I am making face masks again.  There are just too many people out there that need them and do not have sewing machines to make them.  Of course, there is always the almighty internet, which has TONS of them for sale.  But hey, I am retired with lots of time on my hands.  The people I am making masks for are dear friends and family.  So how many did I make this week?  ELEVEN!  I will be making more over the next week and then I just might be done for a little while...............again.  We shall see.

I still had time to knit and crochet, though.  In fact, I finished my Easy Does Shawl.

As you can see, it is not the kind you would wrap around you for warmth.  It is more of a neck shawl.

This is it wrapped around my neck.  Yes, I know you can not see any part of me.  That was the idea LOL.  It is perfect for those places you go where they think it would be fun to have the A/C set on a North Pole setting.  I am quite happy with the way it turned out.  That makes three FO's in as many weeks!  No, I do not expect this to continue.

I did more rows on the Sock Scrap Granny blanket but did not figure a photo every week of a long term project was necessary.

Of course, with the shawl off the needles, I needed a new project.

Last night, I started another To The Point shawl.  It is a quick crochet that makes me happy.

I need to cast on some more socks yet.  There have not been any socks on my needles in over a week.  I know, it's hard for me to believe that too.  The biggest decision is which yarn I want to work with next.  I will be making crew socks so I want a yarn that does not 'bore' me half way into the sock.  At this point, I am leaning towards one of the wools I own.  Hubby really likes wool socks and I need to start using up some of that fiber.  I do think, I will use the Hermione's Everyday Sock pattern again.  It is just enough patterning so I do not get too bored and not so much patterning that self striping socks loose their appeal.

Hubby and I are getting ready to head to Mass (7AM) and then come home for breakfast.  We have an online conference this afternoon for 3 hours.  It was a conference we were going to attend but because of 'you know what' it was moved to online.  That will be a perfect time for me to work on the shawl uninterrupted.

Hubby's sister returns to our house tomorrow and will be here for a few days before heading to Las Vegas.  We have a family dinner planned for Tuesday evening.  This way, all of our in town kids get a chance to see her and visit with her for a little bit before she heads out.

Other than that............................we are staying home as much as possible.  We are still binge watching Stargate SG1 in the evenings.  We are waiting for our monsoons to arrive.  They are quite late this year and our heat is so oppressive because of it.  Thank goodness for our pool and A/C!

Until Next Time.........................Happy Crafting & Stay Well!
