Then the next year we did Ireland and Scotland and enjoyed it also. This past fall we did Italy and ohhhhhhhh it was fantastic. Nothing this year abroad due to being busy with Dad, getting him into assisted living, selling his house etc. Hoping to go abroad again next year. The socks and top look awesome.

I’m glad to hear your son has made it back home, but hope his shoulder injury repairs itself and isn’t causing him too much discomfort. I’ve already drafted my year end post, it’s mostly just a list of projects with links to the posts that detailed them, the week completed, whether they were things added during the year and then photos at the end of each section. I wish Ravelry included more crafts, I know I struggled a little to remember all my felted items and still not sure I remembered everything.

There’s an introductions thread you can use to introduce yourself. I’m sure Marsha will give more info if needed.

Yes, pray for our service men and women. I am forever grateful that we have such a wonderful (citizen based) military. My son was in the Marines and I worried every single day for him (and we were at peace then.) Our world is so unsettled now. I can't imagine the strength our service families must have in these times. <br /><br />I have enjoyed seeing your YOP knitting. I assume that stands for Year of Projects. I don't recall the group this is in Blog Land. Since you are coming to an end and a new year is starting you might include a short post on exactly what this is and how folks can participate. Sounds like something I might be interested in.Retired Knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662288640032813770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3860749103837676419.post-1277696811253831842019-06-17T03:57:22.011-07:002019-06-17T03:57:22.011-07:00Marsha..your sweater turned out lovely!

What a wonderful gift for your husband and you! The soks will get finished now that you're done with your sweater. Do you do them concurrently or are they 2 at a time on the same needle? I am so happy about your son...not that he hurt his shoulder but that is home. I will continue to pray for them all and that the yahoos is DC don't get us involved in another war. I spent some time gathering up patterns for this next year now if I can get the supplies. I have so many birthdays in July it's a tight squeeze. I can't wait to see all your plans. Thank you also for your sweet post about my Nitty girl.....it is very much appreciated.

Actual...Marsha, your Spotting Clouds is so pretty! Actually, forgetting the colors you were working with, I thought the first photo was superb - in black and dark gray. But seeing it in its true colors, it's terrific, too. I haven't given thought to my wrap-up post and everytime someone mentions getting theirs ready I have to quell my worries that I'm putting off too long pulling it together. The only thing I have going for me is that when I upload pictures to my computer they automatically go into a file labeled for that month. Then checking my project pages on Ravelry, I'm able to fairly easy figure out my method for collage-ing the pictures. That's the idea, anyway. Every year's different. Reading on... Oh my. what a turn of events for your son! I hope he heals up completely and can look forward to a safe retirement soon. I think I remember you saying he was close to retirement? Italy and Spain!!! Wowee. How exciting to look forward to that this autumn. Already looking forward to the pictures. :)Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940604077427078249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3860749103837676419.post-42406263617408361912019-06-16T14:56:04.413-07:002019-06-16T14:56:04.413-07:00What a wonderful gift for your hubby.

Your sweater is beautiful and I am sure you were greeted with many compliments on it at church. I have to start planning my wrap up post too.

I know they smell them, but they haven't seen them, so we're keeping it that way. I'm thinking that Jack is more interested in the "mother's milk" than the squirrels themselves lol...Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3860749103837676419.post-36685923016537844132019-06-16T13:25:37.741-07:002019-06-16T13:25:37.741-07:00Spotting Clouds is beautiful!

Oh the self...Hi Marsha :) Your sweater is so cute!! Oh the selfies...on my Android, there is a setting that allows you to say words and the camera takes the photos. I set it to "cheese"...so whenever I say "CHEESE!", the phone takes a picture! Do you have a setting like that? It makes selfies a LOT easier, though sometimes they aren't in focus and sometimes the phone doesn't understand the word...so I have a lot of photos of the floor, the walls and blurs... lol...<br /><br />Don't forget your hubby is also a FUR dad! All-around great guy! :) What a GREAT gift!!! Oh I'd love to visit Italy!! :) If you ever plan to go to Montreal, let me know, I'm about 90 minutes north right now until we move to the Maritimes!! :) I'll take you out for bagels and smoked meat! ;)<br /><br />Oh, and I guess your son's injury is a blessing in disguise? I think so. :)Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.com
