New Pattern

I am working on writing a new sock pattern. It is called Cable Leaf Socks. I will post it in Ravelry when I get them done. I may have to knit another pair in a different yarn so that you can see the pattern better.


It looks like a little cable with a leaf in it. I also made some baby booties with the pattern. The booties started out as a swatch for the socks but they became baby booties thus another new pattern. You can see the pattern a lot better on the booties.
They were donated to the pregnancy center here in town. They are always needing baby booties.

If you knit or Crochet and don't belong to Ravelry, You should join. It is so handy to put your projects in there and look back and see what yarn you used and where you got it from. You can see what yarns worked well for others and what ones did not. You can also get thousabnds of patterns for free. All of my patterns so far are free. I am thinking of charging a little for a new pattern that I am developing. I have just a few of my patterns listed here on the sidebar, but there are more in Ravelry.
Have a great day!!
God Bless You!!

Puppy Dog Chase

We had a bit of a scare today. I took my basset hound next door to be watched while we go on our trip. Well I looked out back where there is 5 empty acres then some woods. I saw a basset hound that looked like mine out by the woods. My son grabbed her rope and went to go get her. The dog ran from him so he went after it. Then out there by the woods came out a coyote and it went to chasing the dog. So the dog ran away faster. At this point we realized that it was not our dog. Ours is an older dog and it would have run out of steam by that time. So we went next door to ask if Rosie was still there and there she was in the neighbors house just relaxing.. Funny after you think about it. The dog we were chasing went down the road to it's home. My son said the coyote backed off after the dog barked at it and it found that the dog was a little too big to mess with.
I think we have quite a few of the coyotes out there. I heard them the other night howling, and I could hear about 4 of them. One even sounded like it was really close to my house.

Have a great day!!
God Bless you!!

I made this hat for a Christmas present for someone. I don't know who yet. My grandchildren were happy to be my models.

I have started two pair of socks, that I am designing. One is called Corn on the cob socks and the other one is Cable Leaf Socks.
I will have pictures later of the progress. We are getting ready to go on a trip to Ohio for a week. I don't know if I will have access to the net during that time since we will be at a state park.

I finally got my garden in today. I planted Tomatoes, Eggplants, Summer and Winter Squash, Green beans and Swiss Chard. My lettuce was big enough to cut the other day. It was nice to have fresh lettuce.
Have a great day!!
God Bless You!!
