  • End of Summer

    Apples 2014

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

    SDC Week 9 - Ocean

    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.
