We've Been Celebrating!

We went to Cannon Beach Oregon to celebrate our 59th anniversary and were blessed by nice weather despite the rain on our way there and back at home while we were gone!

This was a surprise finding in a small park near one of my favorite yarn shops. (And yes I did buy some yarn even though there was plenty back at home.)

We love the walk to Haystack Rock! As you can see this sand castle is about to be washed away by high tide. When the tide is low, it's possible to walk out to the rock!

Today I just sent off this dishcloth which turned out much better than the first one. Lesson learned: read patterns carefully!

Here's one more hat to be donated soon.

Can you guess what this is?

That's it for today! Have a nice week and a fun Labor Day celebration.

 

Catching Up!

This summer has flown by. Our weather has been unusually hot with little rain so we've kept busy doing lots of watering to keep our plants alive. We've also had visits from our oldest grandson and my sister and her husband. Despite the business of our summer so far, I have completed some finishes, but I've sure fallen behind on my blogging. 

This is a fun sock pattern with a different kind of cuff.

I finally got some professional help making the button holes on this sweater which had been languishing in my stash forever.  And on top of that a friend and I discovered a really nice and helpful yarn shop in our downtown; if you're ever in the area, be sure to visit The Knitters Studio!

These are the last of the 5 dishcloths I made for my sister who recently visited us.

This is a fun pattern!

The Diamond Mosaic washcloth. The first one I made a long time ago turned out square, and I have no idea why this one didn't! In checking the pattern, it looks like I omitted part of the directions, but my sister liked it anyway.

The Blue Angels were in town for our annual Seafair celebration, and my sister and Ted got to see them in different places every day they performed! We had a fun visit and got to explore lots of walking trails too.

Enjoy the rest of August!
