Signs of life on my apple tree. This gives me hope that despite neglect and a drought there are still signs of survival.

This was a quick project for the theme "Hello Ocean" on week 9. Surprisingly the summer went very fast and new assignments are being made for the fall.

I've been so stressed that I couldn't even start any complicated yarn projects so these next few items are easy, peasy, lemon squeezy.    This is a basic garter stitch rectangle shawl.  Cast on 60 with size 15 needles. (Mohair)  As I started this my Knit Picks Nickel plated needle and cable broke.  I called Knit Picks and they replaced it, no problem  Great customer service.

Basic garter stitch triangle shawl.  Cast on 3 to 5 stitches and kfb on the first stitch of every row.  Using size 15 needles and Lion Brand Homespun.

There is much to share...Widowed 3½ years now. Grief is my constant companion.  Depressed, no...discouraged, yes. I dipped into the online dating pool and it wasn't refreshing.

Back to my regular knit, crochet and craft routine.  These hobbies are what keeps me sane.
