Still Holding Strong

Hi Dear Blog readers...
Still holding strong in the pandemic, and the main thing is,
still holding strong and not starting any new knitting.

I finished the knitting on the Snuggly Sleep Sack.  
Encore Yarn
Size 8 needle
4.5 skeins

I'm going to sew the sides up part way, and then
add buttons.

The hood has some nice details.

I'm glad this is done. It was a lot of  knitting, and
I want to make something else for almost Mason.
I will wash and block it out this week.

Another three inches or so on the first sock and I can
decrease for the toe.

Spent a lot of time this week on the Vedder shawl.

The rows are very long now.

And it's boring. LOL
Four more 12-row repeats until I start the next  section.

I haven't done anything on the Wallaby this week.
But I wanted to show you who I'm making them for.
I will start the sleeves soon.

Joe's nieces...Faith and Jacki.
Their parents are so cool...they put up a big tent in the
living room so the girls could go camping and watch the
Disney Sing Along that was on Friday night.

This is Faith - age 6 - she is getting the purple wallaby.

 Jacki - age 4 - is getting a red one.
I sent the link with colors and they picked what they wanted.

Ruth is working along on her beautiful Alana sweater.

She is much farther now than this picture..she is decreasing for
armholes.

Martha is done with her Ivy Line Sweater.

It turned out beautiful!!!
These are the buttons she is adding
(see top of sweater)

She took the sleeves apart several times to get pooling
to go away.  I mean several times!  LOL And I think the end
result is well worth it.

She has a lot of ends to tie in since she had to really
manipulate the yarn to stop pooling.  She also used
two strands at once.

I like the danty cuffs.

Here is a picture of her worktable.  OMG if she ever saw mine,
3 or 4 projects, patterns, stitch markers, scissors,  :)

In other news:
I made strombolli last night.  I think I like pizza
better...though it looks pretty.

I washed the blankets in the living room today...the
ones we snuggly with. My little Mickey can smell a clean
blanket from three rooms away!

Doesn't he look uncomfortable trying to squeeze
onto the blanket?   LOL

Have a great week dear blog readers...
Have fun knitting this week.
