Hi Dear Blog readers....
This post comes after a particularly hard week at work and busy weekend. All good.
I finished up the knitting on Jayce's sweater. I will wait till fall to see how big he is to bind off.
I started a scrappy hat. Size 13 needle. 40 stitches. The yarn is a guess. Four strands for the ribbing The bigger blue is worsted maybe. The other ones are fingering. Ribbing was 4 strands. It seemed too loose so I added the red on the stockinette to make it 5 strands. It's not bad to work with if I don't move the balls around. I am that person that saves bigger bits and pieces. These were all bigger balls of leftovers.
I am two rows in on decreasing for the top This is maybe 2 hours of knitting or so. Bloggers are making tons of them to donate. I will probably donate or put in a drawer to put on kids when they come over. The next one I may make smaller and Mason can keep it in his backpack and give it to a kid at school that does not have a hat. Of course he has 7 or 10 hats since I'm his grammy...hahahah
Ruth had a few stops and starts with her sweater but now the button bands are done. It sure is beautiful. It just needs buttons now.
Martha finished her beautiful sweater. She even wore it this week on a cooler day.
Martha is working on a new shawl. Fun triangles!
In other news:
We had Joey's kids last night and so much fun, but exhausting. Here are few pics.
I had a large paper towel delivery from Amazon and saved the box. I put crayons in there and the kids spent a good amount of time in there coloring, having snacks, having a drink etc. It was fun.
Joe put water in his snow sled and they had a blast playing in that.
Have a good week dear blog readers. Stay cool.
