I couldn't get my pictures to come up in my other post so I put them in this one. The green one is the Queen Sarah shawl that I made for my daughter's birthday. The white one is one that I am doing to test knit the pattern. I think I will use it at Church when they have the air too cold for me. The blue shawl is the one I finished for my other daughter for her graduation.
Have a great day!!

Well it has been a while again.... I have been so busy with garden and crocheting lately. I'm working on another shawl. I'm calling it the Queen Sarah shawl. I'm writing the pattern. I made one for my daughter Sarah for her birthday. Now I'm test knitting the pattern by making one for me. There was a lot of mistakes in it. So I am going to have to make another one to make sure there aren't too many mistakes. My grand daughter wants one. So I think I will include a little girl size into the pattern. That way it will be test knitted again. It is a crochet design with Pineapples in it. I need to get a more recent picture of it.

The blueberries are pretty much done and I have been picking blackberries like mad. I wear some gloves with plastic palms, so that I can avoid some of the stickers. I still get all stuck on my arms though. But the berries taste great!! I pulled up all the multiplier onions and chopped them up and froze them. I replanted the tops for new growth. I started weeding in my herb garden this morning. It got hot fast so I will do more in the morning. I have tomatoes coming on my vines, but they are not ripe yet. I can hardly wait to get some ripe ones. There are so many flowers that I think we will be overwhelmed with tomatoes this year. I have picked a couple of banana peppers and some Jalapeño peppers. I had a volunteer cucumber plant come up and it has been giving us an abundant supply of cucumbers. My zucchini are just now blooming. two of the plants bit the dust and became dust. So I put in a couple of more seeds. I don't know if they will make anything. I do hope for some zucchini. I like it in kabobs.

My daughter is graduating from college with her Masters in Engineering. I am making her this shawl for graduation. The pattern is in Russian, but it has charts. This is actually my first time using charts to do Crochet. It seems to be going well. I have made doilies before and this pattern seems a lot like them. It probably helps some, the fact that I have been crocheting for more than 40 years. I know the stitches well. I just hope I can get it done before May 8th.
Have a great day!!

Here are the projects I have been working on lately. I finished another Afghan . This one for my niece who is getting married in June. I started another prayer shawl using a leaf pattern and an ivy leaf pattern in lace. Then there is the Raglan sweater that I finally got started. Hopefully I will have it done before next winter, so I can wear it. My other sweaters are getting thread bare.



Have a great day!!

What would you call it??

I saw the neatest scarf shawl thing. I want to design a lace one but I don't know what to call it. It looks like a scarf in the front, as if you flipped the ends of the scarf over your shoulders. BUT in the back the ends are connected and knitted all the way across. So it is like a shawl. With a hole for your head. Anyone have any idea of what to call it?

Have a great day!!
God Bless You!!

I have been busy Knitting and Crocheting this week. These are for my grandchildren for Easter. The kitties are from an Alan Dart Pattern. And the little purse is from a Scalloped Pot Holder pattern that I found in Ravelry. I adapted it into a purse and put a lining in it.

We have the web page with Yarn and Project bags included! My son helped me get the Pay Pal connection so we could sell them.
I have been busy knitting. Have a couple of projects done and started on a couple more.

I finished Father Son mitts , and an ear-flap hat for my dear Hubby.

Now I am working on a prayer shawl for Church with a candle flame lace pattern on it and a from the top v-neck sweater for me. My other sweaters that I made some years ago are now wearing out. So I need some new ones. I have some yarn and projects that are hibernating. I think this year I am going to make it a goal to get them started and out of hibernation.
Have a great day!!
God Bless You!!
