Hi Dear Blog Readers...
When I was a kid we would call the last couple weeks of August the "Dog Days of August". Even with global warming, not sure if that is so true anymore. This year, it's been much cooler, thank goodness. Still warm enough that I do plenty of other things besides knit. I'm living with my 89 year old dad part time since mom died...me there 2 + nights a week, and him at our house one night (two days). He is ready to go home and I am ready to stay home when the time comes. Tricky for sure.
I am working on the bottom band of the baby fir jacket....yea! Guessing will start sleeves this week.
I'm going to knit enough rows to do another button hole. This pattern puts a short row after every button hole, to keep it from stretching....interesting technique.
Ruth is working on a pair of socks she started a while ago. This week she increased the length of her purple sweater, and sewed on the buttonband...waiting for buttons for the final blog post. She is finishing up a pair of socks she started a while ago...Nice colors.huh!
Martha bound off the bottom of her sweater..finally a it she is happy with. Looks great. She and I will both be doing sleeves this week.

I had stalkers on my morning walk today. I actually had to direct traffic until they were safely off the road! LOL It's a spot near our house that cars frequently hit deer....I hope these babies are safe....
Have a good week dear blog readers! Enjoy the last bits of summer. Martha starts teaching school next week!
Hi Dear Blog Readers....
Only little bits of knitting this week. I worked a little bit on the Baby Fir jacket. 6 more rows and the patterning will be complete. I love the yarn, though very splitty, it's very soft...perfect for a baby.
Cascade Heritage yarn
Ruth is working away on her beautiful Petals shawl. She is going to eliminate a couple of charts to make it a little bit smaller.
Martha was knitting away on her sweater and noticed a pinky stripe from the different ball of yarn.
She decided she didn't want that and ripped again, and is now happily on her way (picture 2).
She has so much patience with her knitting...she rips and rips till it's just right.

The boys were here a few times this week and we took advantage of the beautiful pool weather! YEA!
They are only going to be "little bits" for a few years so I love to take advantage and play when I can.
Have a good week dear blog readers.
