Pumpkin Sunrise

    Good morning! How are you today?  I finished the baby blanket and yes, I did run out of yarn. I was three rows shy of finishing and instead of ripping out to the previous repeat I just ended the blanket. I don't think anyone will know except you and me. What have you been working on this week?

  Good morning! How are you doing today? Did you have a nice weekend? I've been enjoying abundant blue sunny skies, they tend to happen near the end of the day but it's nice anyways. Yesterday for Mother's Day, my husband and I went out for some ice cream (I had fake ice cream since I'm lactose intolerant). I was quite surprised that many many people had the same idea! I had a quiet weekend with both kids calling me yesterday. It was a great celebration. I've resumed my walking the neighborhood last week and while I am not very fast, I am out there and enjoying the birds and the spring signs. Almost all the trees are leafed out! I find the weather perfect, it is cold in the mornings and I wear a light jacket and a baseball cap. So comfortable. Once the hot weather comes I will resume exercising indoors. Over the weekend, I tried my best to finish the baby blanket and didn't quite make that goal. Also I fear I do not have enough yarn, if I don't have enough ...

  Good morning! How are you doing today? Well I'm pleased to report that I finished this  shawl a few days ago! My knitting needles are on fire these days. It's been nice to be enthusiastic about my knitting, I think I was in a knitting rut for the end of winter. I changed the pattern so that there were two garter stitch ridges between the eyelet section otherwise I followed the pattern. I enjoyed knitting this shawl overall. I barely had 400 yards of wool so the shawl doesn't quite wrap around and drape. I had to do a loose tie but I think it still works out. This will probably be a gift for someone some holiday. What are you working on this week?

  Good morning! How are you? I'm writing this early Sunday morning instead of early Monday morning, since tomorrow is really busy. Since I last posted, I have made significant progress on my shawl and hope to cast off today. Right now the sun is shining brightly which is nice considering they are calling for rain next week. In the above photo, my daughter, son in law and grandson sent me a 'just because' care package. I love it! I was so surprised when it arrived. They are excellent at knowing what I like but my daughter says I'm easy to buy for. Below is a photo of my early Mother's Day gift from my son, daughter in law and grandchildren. I cannot wait to do the puzzle and dive deep into writing answers about my life. How I wish there was something like that for my mom when she was alive. That would be a treasure.  My adult classes have ended before the summer session begins. I like having these breaks to catch up on other stuff that I neglect (dusting!).  What hav...
