A Sweater and Another Hat

With the help of a friend, I finally finished this sweater which I started last year! This pattern was a bit of a challenge, especially doing the sleeves and ties.

And this hat was another challenge! Part of the pattern price was donated to the breast cancer fund. I had never done a welt before, and it had been a while since I'd done 2 colors in a pattern.  So now I am working on a simple hat to add to my hats I donate.

                 Hope you all had a nice Halloween and have an enjoyable November!

Another Finish

Here's another hat with a different yarn than Cherish, but it created a similar look.

Have a nice weekend!

 

Another Baby Hat and Some More Plant Photos

 Once again it's been a while since I posted, and I just now finished another baby hat. It's made from the self-patterning Cherish yarn again, but I added a little bow that I found on a walk to add a little interesting touch.

Even though it's Fall, we have quite a few plants that are still blooming. This is a Mandevilla vine.

The local trees are getting their fall colors!

The fall blooming crocuses are everywhere also, and I just planted a bunch of bulbs in our yard.  Hopefully they won't be eaten by the squirrels.

We've been seeing lots of mushrooms everywhere including this one.  Does anyone know what it is?

And  there are signs that it will soon be Halloween!

Hope you all are having a nice day!

Finally a Post!

I just realized that I've not posted for quite a while! It's been busy here with company that included a friend from high school and also our oldest daughter.  Her husband was in Ireland with their youngest son and went to see David, his brother who's studying art there.  She visited her sister and us as well as a good friend in Sequim. Here she is with here niece and Lulu their dog.

I haven't finish any projects lately until today when I completed this hat.  It's made from a yarn called Cherish (King Cole) that makes it's own pattern.  The hats I've made from this will be donated to a local charity.

 

Lately we've had lots of visitors to our yard who think our plants need to be pruned!

Yesterday a friend and I went to a local quilt show and saw lots of beautiful quilts.  Here are a couple of my favorites.

So that's a bit of an update on what's been going on here. Hope you all are enjoying the return of fall! We finally had some much needed rain here last night. It's finally quit, so we are headed to the grocery store.

                                                                        ~~~

Hope you all have a good week !

Another Hat and Another Dishcloth

This hat was made with King Cole Cherish yarn just like the last ones, and that yarn makes its own pattern!  Most of these hats will be donated to Kidvantage in Issaquah.

I finished this dish cloth a bit early because my yarn was running low; it's supposed to be 9" square. The pattern is called Moss Stitch Dishcloth.

Have a great week!

Lots of Hats, a Bonnet, and a Couple of Dishcloths

The hats are all made of a King Cole Yarn called Cherish; it make its own design! The bonnet is made from cotton yarn as are the dishcloths.

 As you can see I've been doing lots of knitting. We've also done some traveling, but I will update you on that soon. Hope you are having a nice summer! It's been great weather here.

 

Spring and a Fun Yarn

This little guy visited our backyard the other day. It's the first time in ages we have seen a humming bird! Do you think this is a young one?

We have been enjoying the iris that are blooming now especially this one!

Have you ever tried knitting with King Cole Cherish yarn? It says baby double knitting on the label, but no matter the size of the hat, it creates an interesting project! I loved the first one so much that I had to find some other colors.
