YARN ALONG

Never doubt what one
prayer can do.

Since finishing my Silverleaf Shawl

I couldn't wait to cast on a new project

and this one had been waiting awhile,

Deep Woods Toque.

I am using the grey yarn I dyed with

mint and Berroco Folio.

On my night stand is my reading for

book club, Praying for Strangers, a

book I am enjoying very much.

YARN ALONG

A sensitive soul
sees the world
through the lens
of LOVE.

Before I share this week's

yarn projects I wanted to

give each of you the biggest

THANK YOU for all of

your sweet comments to

my guest blogger last week,

you all made a six year old

wee girl very happy, and

she says thank you too. I am

thrilled to say that she is

still practicing her knitting

each day and loves it. It

has been so thrilling to pass

on this love all of things woolie

to my first grand.

 

My knitting has taken a hit this

past week with other projects

needing attention, but I am

making progress on the pullover.

I need to knit the back ribbing,

the cowl and two sleeves, I'm

not sure I will have it done in

time before the move to Germany,

but I am going to try.

 

I finished the test knit hat I was

knitting, but realized I blocked

it a little big [I shouldn't have

used the mannequin head], but

I love how it came out and

have plans to knit another

Sunday Sweater to go along

with it.

 

My reading this week is super lite,

I am a huge Mary Kay Andrews

fan and Beach Town is the

perfect summer read, especially

when you are sitting on the

beach or laying in hammock

under the pecan trees.

WEEKENDING

"Dip into your own soul
Find your own truth
What calls to your heart
What moves your spirit
Make your life dance
To the song of your own
Essence!"

~ Cherokee Billie

 

It's been such a fabulous
weekend and I am sorry
to see it come to an end.

I spent Friday giving my
home some loving, test
knitting a new born hat,
finishing my book, [which
I recommend] and starting
another.
Saturday I played with Porter
all day, talked with Alex, the
birthday boy, on the phone and
could hear in his voice the wonderful
time he was having in NYC, ate
spinach-feta pizza for dinner and
crawled into bed early.

This morning I was up at 4:00 a.m.,
made a quick stop at the store for
supplies and hit the beach. While
I didn't get to see any baby turtles
making their way to the ocean, I did
get to help as a nest that hatched three
days ago was checked; out of 140 eggs
only 4 didn't hatch so that is pretty
incredible and I hope they make it
to adult hood.  I still haven't given
up hope of seeing the babies hatch,
I'm joining the turtle volunteers!

Alex won't be home until tomorrow
so tonight Mike and I are snacking
for dinner, watching the rerun of
Sharknado 3, and of course knitting.
