Hello all.
I know it is summer and rcty is always slow this time of year. Just a post to say what I have been working on.
Just finished a knitted shawl for Gail. I used a combination of "Brooke's Column of Leaves" and some of my own ideas to make it, it turned out nice. Gail uses is all the time now, it makes you feel good.
I finished a crochet throw to cover the back of a friends couch.
Our local group is still knitting this summer for the Mission in Rockford, IL, it is close to us. I have made several caps and scarves, the simple knit 2 purl 2. I made several "Tuck in Scarves" , they make up fast and the ladies staying at the mission love them. I made a prayer shawl for a lady at church with cancer, I used the "Diamond Knit Shawl" pattern. It is all over the internet. They all loved it immensely. Again, it really makes you feel good to make something you know that will make some one down and out feel better for now telling how long. Isn't our hobby wonderful!
I did make a new cap out of sport weight wool for myself. The yarn is some I picked up at the local Salvation Army store for a few dollars. It was a brand made in Germany. It worked up very nice and feels great. I stop once or twice a month at the local store. I have picked up every thing from needles to yarn. I check every once in a while for wool sweaters to recover the yarn, no luck yet.
Any one else have any projects finished this summer?
Oh yes, my Son and I caught 5 Walleye and 2 nice Cat Fish yesterday. The smallest Walleye was 17", what a great day for fishing. Just approaching the boat ramp we got caught in a down pour. We saw the clouds and tried to beat them, we did not make it! Soaked to the skin from head to toe. I came home and knitted to calm down after cleaning the fish. :) The fish tasted great for supper tonight, especially the Walleye!
Hugs and God bless, Dennis & Gail
