Amazing Projects

Mr. Canada Post delivered a box from Lynda this morning. One project I can share. The other is a Rowan sweater for fall and I have to wait a few weeks before I can show you.

We went out to the garden for pictures. I was yelling at Lynn to be careful where she walked because new plants are starting to come up.

This is the Geology shawl (pattern purchased on Ravelry) knit with one Blossom. We used the colour Chrysanthemum.

Geology is the fourth shawl in my Elements shawl collection. Layers of knitted strata in different stitch patterns, this shawl will keep you interested the whole way through. The bottom-most pattern photo is the schematic with measurements. 

Like all other patterns in the collection, this pattern includes both written and charted instructions, and the pattern can be purchased individually or as part of the four-shawl collection.

Doreen came in with her Imagine When. She is about to start the last wedge. The yarn is Hedgehog Skinny Singles in the new colour Dune. It is so beautiful. More skeins are on the way from Ireland.

Caroline was in today wearing her Find Your Fade. It is stunning.

Caroline used Hedgehog Skinny Singles and this is the colourway that Andrea used for her pattern picture. Now I want one in this colourway.

A new Allium is ready to explode. I can't wait - we have three of these in the garden.

When you are wearing a cream shirt at work and spill a full tea down the front of yourself you take out a bucket of water, add some Soak (pineapple) and soak the blouse until you go home.

Beth thinks that I should have extra shirts (yes, more than one) in the store for days like this.

Someone is very stubborn. Lucy was supposed to go back to doggie day care today. Dad took her at 7 this morning and Lucy went through the gate no problem. Then she realized what was happening and sat down. There was no moving her. The lady who looks after the dogs put a leash on her and both she and dad were pulling Lucy. No go. Someone opened the gate to bring in their dog and Lucy bolted. She sat down beside the truck and when dad opened the door she jumped in. I will be on Lucy duty tomorrow morning. Dad is pouring concrete in Grimsby so Lucy can't go to work tomorrow. Normally Beth would take Lucy but she has job meetings. I'll stay home until noon when Beth is finished. Yay - knitting time!
