Pumpkin Sunrise

This weekend was filled with: -discovering another turtle.....he keeps hanging around the front yard and is very shy (see his head?) -dinner with friends -corn on the cob and grilled chicken and watermelon -hot sunny days at the poolside just talking -more laundry than usual, I don't know why! -starting more knitting projects -visiting the yarn stash to start the above project -slow mornings with coffee and quietness Joining Amanda at Habit of Being

My favorite sister (and only) made the banner in the picture.  Isn't she clever?  I received the banner and the American  flag platter for a Christmas present one year.  I just love both!  My house is quite skimpy with decorating unless it is Thanksgiving or Christmas. I am lucky to be able to pull these items out to help me celebrate a holiday and also think of my sister :D  Thanks Sis!!! Happy Fourth of July!

And so it is finished.....Yay!  I have a feeling this will be one of the last projects finished during the summer. I highly recommend the pattern Traveling Woman , it is straight forward and a pleasure to knit up.  I did knit this pattern once before which I blogged about here .  I do prefer the solid color over the multi-colored.  Now if only there was some cold weather----ahem----then I could wear it!!!   I think some of you have wondered how I wear these shawls and as pictured above I wear them as a scarf. I like this pattern because the triangle shape is very subtle.  I really like rectangles the best but sometimes I like to live on the edge :D
