Actually, there was nothing 'done' this week. There was progress on a new project that I am excited about.
FALL BREEZE SHAWL
I was going to make another To The Point shawl with this yarn but decided I did not like the way the colors were hiding the pattern. I found this pattern and fell in love with it. I am almost halfway through it. The yarn is a discontinued yarn from Hobby Lobby. It was part of the yarn hall my DIL's mom gave to me. I did need to pick up some white ILTY to work the middle part of the shawl though. It is such an easy knit and I can watch TV while working on it. It is the only thing I worked on this week.
While at HL picking up white yarn I just happened to spy this.................
Seems I am really into bright and cheery colors right now. These will become another prayer shawl. Not sure what pattern yet. I have time to think about it though.
But wait, there's more
Aren't these just the cutest? They are needle point protectors. Well, the mushrooms are. The hole in the gnomes is really big. I would need to use a US size 15 to fit the gnomes. Although, my US size I and J crochet hook fits into them quite nicely. Another HL find. I need to be so careful in that store.
This past week was so pleasant. It left me quite a bit of knitting time each evening. I spent one day with Josie taking her to run errands. (Her car battery died....It's since been fixed) We had a lovely luncheon date with our youngest son and his wife on Wednesday. Hubby and I took Friday and did all our errands and grocery shopping.
Josie and I did go to her mom's house to pick up a few things. Stacie has sold the house and needs to have it 100% cleaned out by the end of this month. She had quite a few things from my mom and I now have them. One of the things she had was my mom's Longaberger baskets. Josie loved it and took it home not knowing what she was going to do with it.
Seems Meatloaf has found a use for it. Silly Cat!
Today is laundry day and working in the kitchen. I am going to make more Bourbon Vanilla. After making vodka, rum and bourbon vanilla the first of the year, we have decided the bourbon vanilla gives the best flavor to things. I also need to pull out my sourdough and give it a couple of feeds so I can make scones again. There might be a cake mix asking to be made into cupcakes too. I can tell I am begging for fall. Baking all the things is calling to me.
Here is your chuckle for the week.........................
Until Next Time......................Happy Crafting!!!!!!!!
