The latest knit is off the needles,
hot on the heels of Summer Pullover. I’m
calling it Sleepytime. As you may know,
a craniotomy has left my head susceptible to cold (and vibration) which lead to
severe migraines. So, I sleep in a hat
to protect my head from the A/C at night.
Also wear one in cold, windy, rainy and high pressure weathers or in
other words--a lot. My latest knit is
made of doubled #10 crochet cotton—one strand of pink and one of off-white. By using a row of “knit 2 together and yarn
over” between four rows of stockinette I have an airy head cover that is warm
but light-weight.
DH has learned which hat I wear for
the current weather condition and often says something like, “Can I bring you
the Malabrigo hat” or “Would you like me get your cashmere hat?” Happiness is a sensitive and well trained
husband!
Featherweight Cardigan is coming
along.
It seems that I have to have at least
two projects going at all times, so also on the needles is Simple Knit Shrug
done in Lion Brand Amazing. Up next—Walk
in the Park Cardi.
Mr. Blue Jay has been back twice this
week. He is shy and jumpy because there
are hawks in the field behind the house.
Occasionally I find a few blue feathers in the yard and fear that one of
the big blue guys was hawk food.
Also the Finch have been especially
colorful this year. The pretty yellow
ones will give way to the dark red Purple Finch later in the summer. These are just a sample of the birds we see
right out of our kitchen window, and the pictures I am able to snap with a
Cannon SX 60HS.
Life is good!
