Sharing these beautiful flowers my daughter gave me for Mother's Day a few years ago. Why now? Pretty sure I did way back as well, but why now? Cause it's ugly, cold, dark, and dreary out and I wanted to see something pretty. I may add a count down to Spring on my blog.
No, I haven't done any Christmas Decorating yet, but I did manage to change place mats, and napkins prior to Thanksgiving with a nice colorful fall look. Even leaf glass holders that go with the leaf napkin rings. Now...I need to dig around and see where my Christmas ones are. I might have discarded them last year....after having the same ones and not sure they held up after being laundered......hum, not sure.
Not me, but I started 2 new apps for doing a 30 day plank challenge. Had no clue there were so many different types of planks. I don't find these easy to do at all!
AND these really hurt my shoulders, plus I can't get straight like this, so not going to be doing these anymore. Made my low back hurt as well.
There's a heater inside. 2nd to last home football game for The Ohio State Buckeyes, and it was COLD. Having the tarps up on 2 sides really helped block the wind while we tailgated. And the game after this one rained so I didn't go. Sat through one really bad rain a few weeks prior and just wasn't up for it again.
Thought some of my knitting and crochet friends would enjoy this. A few on there I've never heard of...PIG...oh how I should show you pictures of that system I have, except I have up-scaled it and they're not in grocery bags, but canvass totes.
I'm still working on Potato Chip Scarf, just haven't taken any new pictures. It's coming along. AND I've managed to fight the start-itis problem, but did spend lots of time today and found the next pattern I want to make....so, I predict something will get started probably before Potato Chip is finished. Just saying.
How's your week coming along?
I'm Participating in a new to me Linky Party
I've got a case of start-itis. I've been fighting it for awhile.
- The red and gray are very basic sock yarn but, it's Berroco's Comfort Sock and is beyond super soft. AND these are Buckeye Colors, and each skein has 447 yards soooooo plenty to make something. I'm sorta seeing a striped shawl, or scarf...perhaps a Diagonal scarf, or something along that line where the stripes really make the project.
- The larger cake upper right Plymouth Yarn Hot Cakes is 404 yards of WW yarn, also kinda Buckeye Colors, which I bought before the solid sock yarn. Since this is self striping and due to being heavier weight yarn would work up quickier, perhaps this is the one that should be a diagonal scarf. Or might this make a fun potato chip scarf?
- Then there's the 2 yummy Queensland collection, Perth....like the fun purple and gray I'm currently using to make the potato chip scarf. But, oh look at those yummy jewel tones
No, I'm not done with any of my current projects (2 afghans, plus the yellow shawl, and the purple potato chip scarf.
But, it is now just over 33 inches, so lots of headway since my previous picture showing you how well the 2nd lucky skein matched.
Then there's also this Cooper Corgi YUMMY YUMMY yarn from Savannah, Georgia I bought while in Hilton Head a few weeks ago. Two pictures so you could see the front and back of the hank to see the colors.
It's hand dyed and twisted thus the $45.00 price tag for 460 yards of 100% superwash Merino. Softer than butter...
This is the sample of a shawl on display at the yarn shop using the above hand dyed. I really wanted to be able to lay this sample out so it could be seen but was limited with space. I did purchase this pattern.
We've all just eaten a bunch no doubt at Thanksgiving, so perhaps we're thinking how to drop a few pounds before Christmas and New Years. I am not vegan or vegetarian and have NO desire to be, but this tickled my funny bone.
Do you get start-itis? Which one would you start with? Is there a pattern that calls out to you using above fibers?
Are you dieting after Thanksgiving? Let me know in your comments.
