(Re) Knitting Update

 Hi Dear Blog Readers...

It's been another stellar week weather-wise here in little Holley, NY.  I think we got a little rain on Thursday. We need about a week of it. But the mornings have been perfect for walking and the days warm but not hot.

This week knitting has been a challenge. I have had to un-knit my sweater 3 times.  I would get almost to the end of the over 300 stitch row and see a mistake. So I had to tink it back.  On two rows of the pattern, it's slip stitch every other color. And when I find two stitches of the same color...uttt oohhhh.

It's one row away from putting it on a string and trying on to see if its long enough to take sleeves off.  

 
 Ruth is touring  Europe on a river in a cruise boat!  They flew into Amsterdam and are currently near Germany.  She has been sending a few pics here and there. She has not knit much, which means she's too busy having fun!  Here is her sock.

Martha had to rip a few rows of her sweater out and redo the color work. She is back on track now.

It's going to be so pretty. She sure had a vision on this one.

 

In other news:

 We got this flower in May and it bloomed once...then after that Joe called it lettuce. Now in September, its blooming like crazy. So pretty. I think maybe the summer heat was too much for it.

Jayce is so confident!

Jack's team, The Vikings lost today.  He looks like a little linebacker in that shirt.

Charlotte and I went to Alpaca Farm days today.  My pictures loaded backwards.. This was the 2nd farm we went to. They had chairs out so we could sit close and observe them. She liked it a lot. 

This guy just got done rolling in leaves. His friends were hiding under a tree so we could not get that close.

I will never get tired of sunrise on my walks.

Mason turned 5 on Monday. He just loves his birthday!

 A couple of pics Ruth sent from her cruise ship. 

 

 

Have a good week dear blog readers.
