A little help

 Hi Dear Blog Readers

How can another week have flown by so quick?  The weather was hot again this week, and rain mostly missing us. Our front lawn crackles from the heat.  

I have been wanting to knit the Waffle Pullover since the pattern came out a couple of months ago.  There are some really pretty colors on Rav...and I think my favorite combo is light color as main color, with a pop of dark for secondary color.  The pattern calls for Jane yarn, which looks nice but is so pricey. Not many yards to each skein.  

Here is where I asked for help.

I have been using Microsoft Copilot for lots of things lately.  AI (Artificial Intelligence) is not going away. We talk about it at work all of the time. I took a beginner class on how to use it. It does not replace humans, but helps them.  So...I asked what yarns are similar to Jane yarn.

 

 

 

 

I searched a couple of suggested yarns on websites, and looked at projects made with the yarns on Rav.

I saw that one person knit her Waffle pullover with Scout so that is what I chose.  I like that I can ask copilot questions like its a person in my living room.   It has helped me with my flowers, recipes, vacation questions, etc.

The shawlette is coming along. I'm close to being to the same spot I was before I had to rip. 

I started a pair of socks from yarn Martha gave me. It's very nice...and thick. They will be warm socks.  I cast on 72 stitches to work with my big calves, but after ribbing I will decrease to 68.  I think they will be a simple K3, slip 1 pattern.  

 Ruth started a new shawl!   Sunlit Glass by Kristen Kapur. Yarn is Lichen and Lace wool and linen.

It's going to be very very pretty. Love her color choices!

 Martha had a lot of time to knit this week on her beautiful sweater!  Deco Lace Pullover.  She is blocking it to see how much stretch it has before she carries onward.

 Ta da!  Look how great it fits!  Just stunning!

 

In other news:

The kids came for a picnic yesterday. This is a terrible picture, but they all had fun.
 

I caught Mickey peeking out of the window at our neighbor, Princess. A pretty calico kitty. 

Have a good week dear blog readers. NO blog next week. We will be away for a few days.
