Days and Nights on the Front Porch.
The mornings have been so cool, that it has required a shawl when having coffee on the front porch and doing a bit of Hospice Knitting.
The sky has been perfectly blue
And the sun has felt so good
Casting some perfect shadows
And then at the end of the day, a "blue" moon starting to rise out of the trees.
Scrappy Sunday brought Granddog sitting and of course, I had to have Kane post with the last Sunday Scrappy Square for August.
How can it be almost the end of August? And today, a memory popped up on Facebook for me. Today would have been anniversary #47. It is sad, but today, I am also reflecting on some very good years too.
I took my Ranunculus Number Three out today for knitting.
That is a blue color moment! But, all the blues go with my favorite attire right now and into Fall, Blue Jeans.
Finished objects, WIPS and future knits all seem to be blue right now. Not sure how that happened, but it did.
The Tolsta Tee in progress, based on an ensemble and inspiration pic from the Talbots catalog earlier this Spring.
I want to finish it, but, I, also want to cast on all the Fall sweaters.
Have a good weekend! It's gonna get hot again. UGH, why not cast on one or ten new projects. Stop me now.
Match a future sweater.
This was totally not planned. The sweater to be or the color way for the color work.
I was quite inspired by Susan Rainey at Meg's Knitting Camp in July. After sitting next to her all weekend, this pattern totally had me interested. She used Hot Dish by Spincycle. When my local yarn shop, The Fiber Universe got a very similar color only on a more readily available yarn to me, well, I just had to think seriously about it.
Check Susan's finished sweater out in the links below.
Well...
My Daughter-in-law and grandkids were here for a quick visit this weekend. It was a short trip, but totally worth it. This was Saturday morning, just me and the girls up early on the front porch, enjoying the heat.
This is last Sunday's Scrappy Square
Yesterday's Scrappy Square
And the start of another scrappy blanket, the Jelly Roll Blanket by Kay of the Bakery Bears. This one is going to be all Summery colors, I think.
Finally, a little knitting on the front porch this morning, before it got kind of muggy.
And there you have it, all caught up. Hope the sun comes out later today, and I may just try cutting the grass?! (One of my least fave things to do!)
Have a good week!!
It's a Pampas Tee

After a month of travels, I am slowly getting back to normal local knitting. Thankfully, even though it is a bit hot, there has been a nice breeze on the Peoria Riverfront, for us to sit out and do a bit of knitting this week.
It's a beautiful location in the parking lot where we can sit our chairs and tables and other essential riverfront knitting.
My go to project this week is Colorshift #2 for my oldest granddaughter. It is one of those perfect knits for public knitting, so as to enjoy the scenery and the conversation.
Have a great weekend!
