Lots of random things going on, some reading, "All the light you cannot see" by Anthony Doerr. It is an excellent book and very well written, I am 3/4 of the way done and can't wait to finish, although then I will be sad it is over!! (if you know what I mean) I have been knitting a bit, it is perfect weather for knitting because it is so cold!!! Negative degrees most mornings and evenings, and highs of 19 degrees F during the days.
I finally finished a project, a lovely cowl, I will gift at some point. It's my second one in this pattern...I made it longer so it could also be used as a hood.
Take a look
I added 4 "
To get the hooded effect
Love this yarn
Next up a lovely starry night picot dot wrap (ravrely pattern)...with hand dyed yarn 98% merino wool and 2% lurex fiber for the sparkle
Here it is so far
Unfortunately you can't see the starry part, hopefully when I am finished I can get a better picture.
I was gifted a beautiful Amaryllis for Christmas and here it is Day 1 of blooming
It's going to be a beauty
Well, I guess that's all my "this n that" my dear blogging friends, new and old, I cherish you all. Wishing you happy days and peaceful nights. Thank you for visiting and all you lovely comments.

My 60th, I have no idea what I'm laughing at, but it was funny.....probably mom being a nerd!!!

That cowl is gorgeous and looks wonderful on you! You're so pretty! I hope you show us the Amaryllis when it's opened up! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteOkay are you like my twin or something? I am reading the same book, enjoying it a lot and I am about 1/3 of the way through with it. I just finished using that yarn in my first finished project of the year, I LOVE it. And I think I might have the same amaryllis on my table although mine might be more pink, I am waiting for it to grow. Do you feel like I am stalking you or something? I hit 50 this year and you hit 60!
ReplyDeleteHugs and love the picture of you at your party.

I love the cowls, particularly the longer one that works as a hood, perfect for this time of year and weather. The colour of the yarn for the wrap is beautiful. A delightful picture of your birthday, a wonderful memory to treasure. Happy belated birthday.
