Speaking of graduation, I made this bracelet for our grand niece who recently graduated from high school and is off to college at UCSD in the fall.
Do you remember this one? Well, that yarn from Hobby Lobby is most generous, and I got two more dish cloths from that ball. The first one had a funky corner and the second one was a bit better.
Believe it or not, there was a small amount of yarn left after the second one, er, really the third one! This pattern is a variation on Grandma's Favorite.
On the way back home we stopped at Trout Lodge for a delicious lunch. This tree is right next door and caught our eye!
Back on the home front, this inside plant, a Hoya, decided to bloom for the first time in ages, and the roses are going crazy outside.

| These two have been constant visitors lately. The Steller's jay has been known to swallow the peanuts whole, and both it and the squirrel have run/flown off with more than one peanut at a time. We have peanut wars right here on our patio! |
Have a great week, Everyone!

Glad you are enjoying the summer Judy. Well done on the dishcloths.
The bracelet is absolutely gorgeous. Congrats to BOTH the graduates! I can't believe Stella is that old already. Time really DOES fly.
Peanut wars! If only that were the only kind of war!
That bracelet is just stunning. Is it embellished peyote stitch?
I should knit some dishcloths, They are so fast and they make nice gifts!
Hoya's are great house plants, but I've never seen one with blooms - beautiful. Oooh, the bracelet is divine - such a wonderful gift for a young woman.
The bracelet is just lovely!
I have some of those hoya plants. They are so fragrant. I love the flowers. But mine flower annually. So if you want another start.....
Beautiful bracelet! The peanut war is too funny. We used to throw them out to the squirrels until we caught the fox and the deer eating them. Those critters have worn out their welcome.
The summer is going by so quickly. I have been enjoying the cool, wide open windows, weather we’ve had for a few weeks. You were SO close to us in the tri-cities. It would be great to meet sometime. Love the bracelet and great job on all of the dishcloths. I really “Love that Cotton!”
Blessings,

that bracelet looks delicate and I bet she loved it!! washcloths are such a nice thing to knit during the busy summer weeks.
Sounds like a good summer! The first place I lived after I moved out of my family home, the family would leave seed and nuts out for the local birds etc. The jays and squirrels were forever battling! I was not a fan of the jay he was soo territorial and mean!
Peanut wars made me laugh. I can just imagine how that goes. It sounds like summer is off to a great start for you. I'm wondering how it got to be July so fast myself. You know we already passed the summer solstice and are on the way to shorter days! Your wash cloths look amazing, and will be such fun in any kitchen! That's a lovely bracelet, too. I didn't know you were into beading.
