Stuff - Some Good and Some Sad

 Hi Dear Blog Readers,

I had some time to knit this week.

The shawlette had some pops of pink so I decided to make one pink stripe so it would really pop when wearing it.

There are 7 repeats of the lace - 4 rows per  repeat.

I am currently on repeat 13 to try and use up the yarn. I'm knitting it very loose. Still a lot of yarn left.  LOL

Ruth is far enough along on her sweater to have the sleeves off of the needles. Very pretty. 
 

Martha is working away on her vest.



 In other news:

We lost dad on Tuesday and his funeral was yesterday.  It was a very sad week here.

Dad was 91 and had survived a lot of surgeries over the years. I'm thankful we had him for 91 years.

I was going to give the shawlette away, but I knit most of it while I was sitting with him at the hospital so I think I will keep it.  

Dad would always look at my knitting and say "what are you building now".  cute.

Have a good week dear blog readers....keep your loved ones close.

I am so sorry you lost your Dad. It's never easy to say goodbye - no matter the age or circumstances. While I sat with my Mom at the end of her life, I was knitting on a simple garter stitch scarf. I kept it and it was a number of years before I could wear it. I now love the scarf and wear it often when I walk. Take good care. The textures in all the knitting are so pretty.
