July 2015 - 80 through 87

Projects 80 and 81 are a couple of washcloths to match my decorated towels. This way I can give them out in sets for Christmas. A great way to use up stash and it is perfect 'public' knitting (small projects with no thinking involved). I like the design of the blue one better so I'll definitely be making more of that one. Dates completed July 1 and 7, 2015,

July 20 was a sewing day. I finished up two quilts for Dana (no pics) and 5 pillowcases for Project Comfort (there were two of the bottom one).

July 31 I finished up Carrie's August socks.

June/July 2015 - Grandma's Visit

Had fun while Grandma was visiting. We went to several parks and walked around. I was able to get some fun photos!

June 2015 - 73 through 79

June was another slow month as I transitioned between homes and jobs.

June 8th was a sewing day and I made 5 pillowcases for Project Comfort.

June 17th, I finished a stripy shawl (pattern is "Different Lines") using some of Nancy's stash yarn (no idea what it is but so soft).

June 28th, I finished Carrie's July "Rose City Rollers" socks. Only took one skein of Regia and they knit up super quick!

May 2015 - Wildlife Photos

I got some neat wildlife photos as we transitioned between homes.

May 2015 - 51 through 72

Project 51 was Carrie's May "Aphrodite" socks, completed May 1. Of course, I sent them before remembering to take a picture.

May 7, I finished 18 decorated towels for our yard sale. I sold several and will save the rest to give out as gifts (probably for Christmas).

May 9, I finished Carrie's June "Leaf Garden" socks. 

Finally, on May 29th, I finished test-knitting Linda's new pattern "Weekend at the Hendersons: Mac".

April 23-26, 2015 - Grand Canyon

Grandma and I had a lot of fun visiting the Grand Canyon. Lots of great pictures!! We saw deer, elk, a wild pig, squirrels, and a very brave chipmunk. We also went horse back riding in outside of the park. My horse was called Ben K. 

April 2015 - 35 through 50

Lots of finished projects in April!! (I guess to make up for a slow March!)  :)

Project 35 is a shawl. Pattern is "Color Affection", yarn is Ella Rae Lace Merino, and date completed is April 6, 2015.

Project 36 is a knitted top. Pattern is "Anchored", yarn is a dk cotton, and date completed is April 10, 2015. Unfortunately this project did not really turn out so no pics. 

April 12 was a sewing day, and I finished 11 infinity scarves in preparation for out upcoming Yard Sale on Mother's Day weekend. I had a nice selection of scarves available but no one was interested so I ended up donating them all to Project Comfort.

April 16 was another sewing day and I finished Sue's wedding quilt.

April 18 I (Finally!!) finished my prism pirate quilt and made a Marvel-themed project bag for Brenna's birthday.

March 6-9, 2015 - Outer Banks

Had a wonderful time visiting in the Outer Banks with Carrie and my grandparents at the Tidewater Knitting Guild's Third Annual Knitting by the Sea Retreat. We got lots of great pictures at the beach, checking out lighthouses, and a few shots of wildlife.

March 2015 - 33 and 34

March was a slow month for finishing projects. 

Project 33 was completed March 3rd. Carrie's April "Textured" socks.

Project 34 was my "Lazy River" knitted afghan design, completed March 5th. I designed it for the Vogue Knitting mohair blanket contest. Unfortunately, I was not selected as a finalist but the finished product makes a lovely piece of wall art in my new bedroom.
