Happy Sunday dear blog readers.
I am sweating profusely as I sit here and do the blog.
Yesterday and today have been in the high 80's...with
lots of humidity.
I finished up the shawl loosely based on the Jimi pattern.
This is the yarn we dyed at Ruth's in July. Base is
Plymouth Select Merino DK. If you ever use food coloring
beware. Before I wound this into a ball, I washed several times
in water, and washed with mild soap, and baked in microwave.
I knew it would not run clear, so when the shawl was done,
I gave it just a couple of quick dunks in water, and rinsed.
This is the result.
It blocked out beautifully.
The colors are very bright, and the fabric is nice and squishy.
Need a much cooler day to wear it.
The Mariechen sweater is coming nice and slow.
I only work on it when I can really engage my brain.
The front has a lace pattern and I really need to pay attention.
(Note my cute model)
I have also started a hat for brainless knitting, no picture to share yet.
Ruth is working on the sleeve of her sweater
We needed to prep for Rhinebeck.
The brown spotted sheep in the front was very vocal.
This lady had the bunny in her lap while she was spinning.
She was talking about including dog hair in some of her stuff!!
For some reason, I can't find that at Rhinebeck.
A cute coffee mug, and the stunning red yarn.
The blue is enough for a sweater.
The brown is same as my sock yarn, for a shawl.
Can't wait to see what she ends up making with all of it.
In other news:
Martha did a lot of gardening this past year.
This is the end result of a little garden she repurposed
and replanted. Took a lot of work, but look how nice it is.
We had a family wedding yesterday. So hot, but beautiful.
Joe's nephew.
I give him credit standing there waiting for his true love for 10+ minutes.
The happy couple
My family:
Tiffany and Mark
Joey and Casey
Have a good week dear blog readers...knit on !!!!
