Projects & weather

Hello....... now that its mid-September, the weather is cooler, especially at night as its easier to get a good night's sleep without the AC and with the windows open.

Since I got my new computer last week, I've been unable to load my digital camera software so that I can post pictures.  Hopefully, I can accomplish that soon!

I have finished the two unfinished prayer shawls that I began in the spring session of the Prayer Shawl ministry.  Also, made another triangular one.  I just started a new shawl that I'll be mailing to S.C. to a friend who recently had surgery.

Hope you have a great weekend!

How did we get to August already?!!!

Nothing much to post about.  The only knitting I've done over the past two months has been cotton dishcloths.  The weather has been too hot and muggy to knit with yarn that my hands will stick to.  I still have two unfinished prayer shawls!  Not what I'd plan to do, but it couldn't be helped.  I do plan to finish these two within the next couple weeks, so I can turn them in and begin another.  Our Prayer Shawl Ministry doesn't meet again until October, but I want to get back in the "groove".

Hope you have a nice weekend!

Hot, hot, hot!

I continue knitting cotton dishcloths, as before as it is quite hot yet and will be for a while according to recent weather reports.   When it does finally cool off, I'll finish off two prayer shawls.

During the day, I've been working on a quilt.  No pictures as of yet.

Hope you enjoy your summer and keep cool!

Quilt voting is over, etc.

My friend Pat and I didn't have enough votes, so we will not be progressing to the 2nd level. Thanks for your votes! Sweatshirt weather: Yesterday, June 1st was quite chilly and damp with rare peeks of the sun. Today, although there is sunshine, it is quite windy and chilly. Strange start for June! Next week sounds much better and I'm planning to get outside to do some weeding and planting. Have a great weekend!

Happy Memorial Day

Voting for my quilt, and prayer shawl progress

Voting for my quilt

Thank you so much to those of you who have been voting for my quilt!  Voting continues until mid September and you CAN vote daily.  Thanks again!

Currently, I'm finishing up on a near duplicate of the table mat I entered into the contest so that I can present it to my former neighbor who recently moved.

Tonight is the last bi-monthly gathering of our prayer shawl ministry and I'm taking along my newest one which is not too large yet.  The other one is getting so heavy that I've had to limit my time working on it.  I'm sure you knitters will understand!


I'm planning to finish these two shawls, then do at least 1-2 more over the summer so that I will have 4 finished ones to donate when we meet again in October.


Happy knitting!

Quick update.......

Thank those of you who voted for my quilt in the McCall's quilt contest!  There are two more challenge levels, of which I as of yet have no information, but this contest goes in into September, so I'm being patient.

I continue to work on shawls for the prayer shawl ministry, enjoying every moment that I'm able to squeeze in.  Will take pictures when projects are complete.

The rhododendron in our yard has for a while, looked sickly.  Every year, the flowers have been smaller and we say that we really must replace the plant.  This year, we decided to leave it there for a while as its beautiful!

Have a great day!
