I have a couple of things done. The Afghan is done and donated to Hope Circle. As in the past there was no one there so I just left it. I guess I am just the anonymous donor. I also got one of the pairs of Purlwise Plain socks done. I am almost done with the second pair. I used fingerling weight leftover's from stash yarn. I have no idea what the yarn is. Some is acrylic and others are super wash wool. For some reason the scrap socks feel better on my feet.

Today I need to get out and hoe some more in my garden so I can get my plants in. I have only 3 tomato plants in the ground. I like to spread out newspaper under them and poke the tomato cage through it to keep it in place. it helps keep the weeds from growing close to the tomato plant and inside the cage.

Have a great day!!
God Bless You!!

Ok what do you do with yarn that someone gives to you, where they started making something, but you don't know what.
A friend gave me this yarn that is done in a bunch of Hairpin lace.
I thought for a while then I came up with a granny square hairpin lace afghan to donate to a place that gives blankets and hats to terminally ill patients, to keep them warm. They are called Hope Circle.
I'm using some other yarn that I had in my stash to make the granny squares.

Recently in Ravelry I have added a couple of more patterns to my designs. Some socks and some baby booties. Our group of ladies that meet on Thursday nights are thinking of making baby booties for the Pregnancy Resource Center. One of the ladies said that they were really in need of them.

Have a great day!!
God Bless You!!
