I finished the Watch Cap Lite. I named it this because it is made with a lighter yarn and can be used in the warmer climates in the winter. I made it for my nephew Lance, who lives in Texas.
Yesterday my granddaughter wanted something made for her kitten. She found yarn with a kitten on the band so she figured this yarn was for kitty things. So I made a little square blankie for her. She sure comes up with ways to help me burn up my stash.
I also started the Sports Car Scarf for my nephew Lance. The yarn that I am using on it is Patton's Silk Bamboo. It sure is soft and nice and drapes well.
Another Item that I got finished are bunny slippers for my Grandson. This month has been quite productive. I still need to get some of my patterns together. I have a couple of people to test knit my Sea Dreams socks. I haven't had any takers on the Corn on the Cob socks yet. It may be a deterrent by the fact that they are done on the purl side instead for the knit side.
I'm baking a cake for my Son in Law today for his Birthday. The timer is going off so I have to go for now.
Have a great day!!
God Bless you!!

I finished two more projects today. Another Elephant. This one for my Grandson. I made it with some Chenille that I had in my stash. It was horrible when it came to sewing the ears and feet on. The Chenille kept stripping out then not wanting to go through the material. It made quite a mess and was very Frustrating. But I finally got it done.

The other project is Sluggie. He is inspired by my granddaughter. She wanted a slug. So I improvised a pattern. Knitted it up and she stuffed it. Then I closed it up. She was going to give it to her brother but then she liked it so much that she now wants to share it with him instead of just giving it to him. I will be making up the pattern and posting it in Ravelry tomorrow.
I am working on anoher pair of bunny slippers for my Grandson now. these will be his Birthday gifts. I will have them made well ahead of time and put them in my gifts drawer. Since his Birthday is in December, it will make the Holiday knitting go faster without doing Birthday knitting then too.

Have a great day!!
God Bless you!!

I finished two more projects for my granddaughter's birthday on the 19th.
Slippers and elephant. I used some of the loads of stash yarn that I have. Now I am working on another Elephant for my Grandson. It will be red like the red elephant on Max and Ruby cartoon.
Have a great day!!
God Bless you!!

I finished the Sea Dreams Socks. Now I need to finish getting the pattern together. I used a lot of leftover yarns in these socks. They were fun to develop. My granddaughter brought me back a starfish from Florida so I used it in the picture too!

I am now working on my Watch Cap Lite and the Sport's Car Scarf.

Have a great day!!
God Bless you!!

I am almost done with my Sea Dreams Socks. I have two other patterns in mind already. One is the Scarf for my Nephew and the other is the Hat he wants me to make him. I think on the scarf I will do a sort of Chevron lace in the middle with a small cable down each side and eyelets on the outside edge. I am still trying to decide how far apart to put the Chevrons so that they look more manly, and not too lacy.
I am still waiting on the yarn for the scarf to come in. What I ordered for the hat has already arrived.

On the Gardening front. My garden is producing an abundance of Zucchini and Cucumbers. My tomato plants look great despite the rainy weather. They have green tomatoes on them. It will still be a while before I get some ripe ones. My Butternut Squash is trying to take over the whole garden. They are growing in the tomato cages with the tomatoes. They took over the beans and they are trying to take over the eggplants too. I saw that there are little squashes coming on them. One of my Tomato plants had a horn worm on it. He is squished now. If it becomes much of a problem I will take my little bottle of Diatomacious Earth and sprinkle it on the plants. It usually takes good care of it and doesn't have a poisoning affect on us like other non-organic bug killers. I will have to go out and get a good picture of my garden when it isn't raining so much.

Have a great day!!
God Bless you!!
