Week 2

 

Welcome!  I hope this finds all of you healthy and happy.  Let's get started looking at my craft week.

I had a bit of startitis this past week.  There was a shawl and a couple of baby hats.  I still had my carry over WIP's too.  So?  What got completed?

Baby Hat #15.  So much fun to do and a quick knit.  I did cast on another one straight away but only have 2 rows on it.

The To The Point Shawl #50 is now half way completed.  The yarn for this was reclaimed from a cardi I had made a few years back but disliked the way it looked on my.  I had almost forgotten about this yarn.  It is Cascade Anthem and so soft for an acrylic yarn.  I may have enough to make one more shawl.  Cleaning out the stash is actively going on!

I grabbed one of my languishing WIP's to work on. 

This has carried over since YOP 13.  I found the pattern and figured out where I was and then looked at the next step to do and said NO WAY!  It was not my favorite gnome pattern even from the start.  So, Gnome news is good news now resides in my trash bin along with the pattern in the recycling bin.  It wasn't even worth the trouble of trying to frog it and save the yarn.  That is one way to clear out the WIP list LOL.

I also put on several rows on hubby's RCR sock.

I am over half way done with the foot.  Maybe I can complete it this week?  

I did a little work on the puzzle but nothing much to warrant a photo.  It is much harder than I thought it would be.

That covers all I did craft wise this week.  My week was full of life events though.  I spent several days dog sitting.

Remember this handsome fellow?  THOR!  His new owners went on vacay and since I live a block away and know him, I got to go over during the day to keep him company.  He remembered me and it was a joy to be with him again.  We had lunch with good friend of our.  We try and do this monthly just to keep up with each others lives.  There is always much laughter and very full tummies. Hubby finally got his hearing tested.  We were happy to hear he did not need hearing aids.  His hearing loss is very mild and mostly in high frequencies.  The last thing this week was burying a friend.  We had dinner with him on his birthday and he passed the next day.  No warning!  He will be missed greatly.  He had a huge impact on our life.  I know a we get older and our circle of friends get older, this is going to be more and more common.

That is my week in review.  Today, laundry is going to be done.  Tomorrow is pamper ME day with nail appointment and hair appointment.  There are other activities, but will save those to reflect on next update,

Until Next Time...................Happy Crafting!!!!!!!!!!
