4-24-2018 Brudarach MKAL Finished


Ready to be blocked and worn!
With all the tinking I did on this scarf
I think I knit it 4 times over!
I will never do another SKP/YO pattern again!
Next time I will change it to K2tog/YO
because those SKPs were tedious to tink!

4-21-2018 Llama

 Making a cute little llama...
and the body/legs are turning out perfectly!

However...
it is supposed to have a granny square across it's back...
here is the pix from the pattern...

and when I follow the pattern instructions to the tee 
for the granny square on the back
I get this weird two sided pyramid...

So, into the trash it went
and I re-made just an ordinary granny square
which looks like it will fit the back perfectly!
Stay tuned for a pix of the finished Llama!

4-20-2018 Starting to Plant the Garden Between Snow Showers

Outdoor temps got up into the 50's today
and melted yesterday's snow,
so...
GD helped Papa plant and water the lettuce seeds.

GD played in the water 
while Oma washed the deck railings.

Papa and Oma raked up all the corn husks
that blow in from nearby fields over the winter
and Papa burned them up!

4-12-2018 Adios

Said "Adios!" to the high chair
that's been in our kitchen 
for the past 6 years.
Both the GDs
have outgrown it 
so it's time to pass it on to someone else
who can use it!
Listed it on a FB local swap site
and it was gone in 2 minutes.  :*)

My Costa Rica trip shawl

scoliosis of the spine
and get rid of the rumples!
