It feels like spring the last couple of days here in WNY,.
Rain coming tonight...lots of it I guess.
It will have three buttons. I wish the baby blue border color showed
up better. I still have to sew up the sleeves. This picture is after it
was washed and dried in the dryer, still a little damp.
The blue yarn is sport, same as the green, but seemed much
thicker. Green yarn is size 3 needles, and blue is size 2.
I decided to make a hat. The first attempt was a failure, or should
I say a learning experience.
For some reason I thought since the blue was thicker I would
double the green. Nope, did not like it.
in size 3. Very quick knit....(notice I was sitting outside yesterday).
Still have enough yarn left for booties, I think.
Worked two repeats on the Vedder shawl.
I like the colors and how the silk makes it look very regal.
I will have to research the Wallaby sweater so I can continue on
with that. People were saying on Ravelry that sleeve length did not
coincide with an actual child length ugh. Well I had an idea....I messaged
the girls mother and asked her measure their arms. hmmmmm why didn't
I think of that before. :)
Ruth is working on her sweater sleeve.
Alana sweater. West Yorkshire Knitters Croft yarn. Mossbank color.
This is a very complex sweater, even the sleeves are full of cables.
She is doing a great job.
Martha has finished up her sweater.
She blocked it this weekend and has been sewing it up today.
Deschutes sweater
Jill Draper Makes Stuff Bulky yarn.
Totally beautiful!
Martha's sweater notes in her own words:
Is it boxy? Yes. I would like to have had it an inch longer ( as usual, it always seems I say that?) I should just measure. A fancy new concept, measuring tape, the inch. Oh well I’m thick headed and do everything by trial and error.
The sleeves are too wide but I did follow directions? Next time BO 1” on each side of the underarm the 2 stitches each side at least 2x, then one every other row. I thought I should be doing that but the directions say so, so I didn’t.
I did 2 3 stitch decreases to turn the neckline. (Trial and error, again) ripped to get it right. I started with much bigger needles and ripped it and started again to get this trimmer neckline.
In other news:
Joey shot his first ever turkey on Friday.
I love this picture.
and I love this one with Benny too.
Speaking of turkey, Ruth's boyfriend has been by her back door again.
Joe went fishing yesterday - no fish.
He power washed the outside and inside of the boat today.
I have one tulip this year. ONE . It's a beauty though.
This is where the rest of them were. Someone got a little carried away
mowing the lawn last week.
Look what Ruth got in the mail this week...a picture from her
grandson Lil Ray, who will be two at the end of August.
