Antique Shawl
I finished this shawl over a week ago and it's officially the first holiday gift of 2020. I love how this turned out! I've knit many Helen Stewart patterns and enjoy how the directions are easy to follow. There is nothing like steadily increasing stitches on every row watching the shawl take form. The yarn is from Apple Tree Knits which I highly recommend. The gradient color themes they create are fabulous and the wool blends are beautiful. I am officially done with my 'pink' phase of knitting (maybe!). Ravelry notes Joining Ginny
I love crossword puzzles...looks like you did very well this day!
ReplyDeleteSyop over for a visit.
Now this is something I have never had the patience for! But I am developing the patience to knit...so who knows what lays in my future...I know it is an excellent way to keep the brain sharpe
ReplyDeleteI haven't done a crossword puzzle in years which is a shame because they are so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm never smart enough (aka patient enough) to sit & try to figure out crossword puzzles! If the answer doesn't come right away I put it down!
ReplyDeletePuzzle answers are on page 32 - I hope you didn't cheat :)
ReplyDeleteSMP - This Moment
My husband is a wiz at crosswords. I think I prefer sudoku.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lovely moment. Although I'm partial to sudoku myself ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love a good crossword puzzle as long as it's not ridiculously hard. Stumped on any words?
ReplyDeleteof course, you do crossword puzzles! (and probably sudokus).....I'm hooked on both!
ReplyDeleteOh - we are too far away from a shop to buy papers, but my Dad often phones for help with his. You have done well there. xxx
ReplyDeleteWe no longer recieve a paper, but I miss it just for the crosswords more than anything!
ReplyDeleteVisiting from SouleMama...I love to see an actual newspaper. I saw someone recently doing the crossword on their iPad....just isn't the same to me. Happy weekending!

I love starting crossword puzzles... ;)
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend, Karen!
My friend Tim used to do the NY Times crossword on SU by just randomly filling in letters and then crumpling the paper and saying "That was easy." I always got a laugh because I knew what he did but other didn't and their reactions were priceless!
ReplyDeleteHere is our wintery moment- http://the-random-thoughts-in-my-head.blogspot.com/
Very relaxing ;)
ReplyDeleteCoffee and crosswords...what a wonderful way to relax!
ReplyDeletewhat fun! I used to do the weekly crossword when we got the paper. Never finished though!
ReplyDeletei love a good crossword! my favorite way to enjoy a good cup of coffee ;-)
ReplyDeleteLook at that all filled out!! I am not very good at crosswords. Sudoku I love, crosswords, eh we don't get along so well :). But then again, with coffee, anything can go well yes?
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great weekend Karen!

Looks like you have the crossword all figured out. Happy weekend. Jacinta x
ReplyDeletewowzers, it looks like you did good! I think I'm incapable of doing a crossword puzzle without ripping out my tears and ending up as a mess of tears! You'll have to teach me your tips. :)
ReplyDeletehave a lovely weekend!
Love the complimentary colors... the diagonal lines... nice composition! And, fun with a puzzle! blessings ~ tanna
