See my header today? I am celebrating the season of autumn! We have finally gotten our cooler temperatures and I am loving it. The A/C is off and windows are opened. The next 6 months is the reason I live here. The weather is glorious!
Let's take a look at what went on with my crafting this week. First up;
RCR socks. The heel is turned and a couple rows of the foot have been added.
The shawl:
It saw a few rows being added too. This project is one I really love even though it takes quite a while to do each row. Since I have several of these shawls already, I am not in any huge hurry to get this off the needles. I am just enjoying the process on this one.
I completed the puzzle.
This is "At Bat". I completed it the day before the Dodgers won the world series. I have started another one but only have the border completed so no need for a photo. The new one is only 750 pieces so should be a quick one to complete. Hopefully.
I started a new project this week because I could. My daughter sent me a photo last week of something she loved and wanted to know if I would be interested in making it. I found the pattern and told her I would be happy to make it for her. This is how much I completed since Monday.
This is the Sea Turtle throw by Mandy Huseth. I am half way done with the blanket itself and then need to make the little sea turtles and starfish to go on it. I am so glad our temperatures have dropped down. This makes having this on my lap a pleasure. In the above photo, the throw is folded in half width wise. This thing is going to be large! I am hoping to be completed with the blanket portion by the end of the coming week. My other projects will be on hold until then.
This coming week I get the results of my thyroid biopsy as well as a lexiscan test for my heart. That should complete all my 'special' appointments for the year. After this, it will just be regular visits with my doctors for follow ups. FINALLY! This has all been going on since June.
Here is your chuckle for the week....................
Until Next Time................Happy Crafting!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha! So true! You sure got a lot done in the Sea Turtle throw. It will be so cute. Hope all your tests come back fine. My skin biopsy turned out to be a benign tumor so all good.
ReplyDeleteHere is praying for good news on test results. The project for your daughter looks lovely. I just cast on a new pair of socks and they are not our favorite pattern -let's see if I stick to it or frog them to make a pair using our favorite pattern:)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you'll soon get your test results, Marsha. I find waiting on that kind of thing to be so hard. I'm sure I've said it before, but just love the colors in the shawl your knitting. And that turtle blanket - I'm looking forward to seeing yours finished. It's such a cute concept of a blanket!
ReplyDeleteYou have some wonderful projects going on. I have been off my knitting game and after seeing your beautiful work - I need to make more of an effort!!!
ReplyDeletelovely projects! I love your funny at the end. We have to be careful of falling!!
ReplyDeleteWow that blanket is happening fast. I’m intrigued to see the creatures that will be attached. Hope the results are good news. Liz
