Introducing....

Chocolate!! Soooo soft and light!

a close up of the edge...I did a row of double crochet at the end of every knitted row. The next row was skip 2 doubles top of the 3rd double make two double crochet 2 chains and a single crochet repeat this pattern all the way around. I have 4 rows altogether of the pattern stitch. I love how it makes a nice wavy edge without being too too frou frou.



Lola likes that it is finished! Now she'll have someone to play with!!
Can't wait to finish the weaving...I've a great idea for that one!!
Enjoy!

Can you Habu?

Image
isn't it pretty?? A-129 in Ice Blue...the only thing that I don't like about Habu Yarns is the yarns don't have names...just numbers. It is a nice combo of 90% wool and 10% nylon. Am using honking big needles and will make a cool wrap/scarf. I love the color...very pretty blue. I am feeling better a little tired. All results are in...everything was benign (sp? can't spell right now) Am taking iron pills and vitamin c to help my body absorb the iron. Have gotten lots of rest. I've been a total slacker at work. I still get in at 6:00 a.m. but I leave between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. I started weight watchers yesterday. I just need to lose a little weight and am looking into the New York Health and Raquet club for exercise. Lola bird will be going for nice walks with me. What is up with the weather in NY lately? It is cold out. I put a jacket on to go to the Dr. I was cold! Have a great day! Enjoy! Marie

Oh Yes Mr. Postman!!

Finally Friday...It is really Friday! This was the longest day in my life. Oh hecky yes I really didn't think I'd get through the week. Enough moaning! Mr. Postman, my favorite man in the world, brought some beautiful yarn to the cottage on S.I. I think I will set myself up with some delish Margaritas and start working on a new shawl. Is it for me or maybe a Christmas present...well time will tell! Here is the very delicate icy yarn draped over my dining room chair waiting to be rolled up. The yarn is so soft I can not wait to start in...oh boy! Good thing the Lola Monster isn't around...she loves to snatch yarn and run around like a maniac. There she is looking to see what to grab..hmm cake? Bag of yarn or finished shawl.. Enjoy the weekend! Marie

Weaving project in the sun

Image
Hello! It was a wacky crazy horrific week at work! There wasn't too much time to work on projects. I am working on one new baby blanket and of course my Weaving II project. Here is the inspiration picture along with the work in progress. A sunny spot full of the yarn I am using. Light blues through black with a tiny touch of yellow as an accent color. The warp is a light grey tencel. The weft is a mix of yarns. I have yarn from Habu there as well. Thank you for the nice comments on Hubby's garden. It has come a long way since we moved in. Here is a close up of the Dogwood flowers on the west side of the house. Enjoy the great weather! Hugs, Marie
