Hello! How is your "hump day" going? That's what some people call Wednesday, I think because it's the middle of the week.. ::shrug:: -- I am definitely going to make this into a shawl.. it spoke to me and told me that's what it wants to be. :-) Which means I need to buy a few more skeins. Oh.. another trip to Michaels.. however shall I manage?
I have to say kudos to whoever designed the colors in this yarn.. I love the long stripes it makes and how the colors change so it never gets boring to crochet.. coppers, grapes, golds, wine, moss, turquoises...
Perfect for this time of year.. and all winter, actually, don't you think?
At our girl's lunch the other day my sister Roberta snapped this photo of me when I was showing them my project. If you want this free pattern, click HERE and download the PDF.
On Halloween I was heading off to swim and I suggested to my dear husband that he might bake some cookies for the boys when they came home from school.. so this is what he made. Cowboy Cookies! Yum! Isn't he a super grandfather?
My sister Denise is going to the hot springs to swim with me today. I'm looking forward to that. I hope you're having a great week. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
I am so enjoying seeing you love that yarn up!!!!! your finish is beautiful and your photo is wonderful. You look so happy my friend!!! I am having a great week Teresa!
ReplyDeleteOh wow that yarn is beautiful Teresa and yes your Dayle is a really wonderful granddad (as you are grandma) Hugs xx
ReplyDeleteI love the beautiful colourways of the yarn and think it will be a perfect shawl right through Winter. Your husband is indeed a great Grandfather making cookies for the boys, what a wonderful relationship they must have.
ReplyDeleteYou do such beautiful work Teresa. It's going to be gorgeous. Lovely photo of you. Those cookies look delish. I am trying not to eat cookies at the moment - it is not easy :-) Hugs Anne
ReplyDeletePS Glad I'm back on your Blog List :-) x
First of all, that shawl is fabulous! I don't know how to crochet (I've tried, just haven't had the lightbulb go on ...). I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteAnd now I really really want a cookie. :-)
You are so good! I love it.
ReplyDeleteThat shawl is coming along! The yarn really is a beautiful mix of colors.
ReplyDeleteYour new shawl is beautiful. I can see you wearing that with the gorgeous colors. Dayle's coolies look yummy. What a great Grandpa.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Betsy
I do love the way the colors have such long stripes. I'm looking forward to starting my shawl with Unforgettable yarn in the bistro colorway. I hope you're having a great week! Pat xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and colorful crochet! Yummy cookies!
ReplyDeleteThose are such beautiful colors. What a gorgeous shawl! I think the colors are perfect for you. They will go nicely with your eyes and skin. Grandpa's cookies look terrific! I bet they had a lot of fun. Hope you had a good swim!
ReplyDeleteI love the colours!
ReplyDeleteTeresa, you do such pretty work, that is going to make a gorgeous shawl :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to the pattern, Teresa! Your shawl is so pretty! Dayle is a good grandpa and I am sure the boys appreciated the Cowboy cookies he made.. I had a great drive to Brookings today. I saw a herd of elk on the east side of 101. I forgot to tell you that I saw elk herds on both sides of 101 on the way down and I had to stop for two elk that were hanging out close to the road getting ready to cross! XX
ReplyDeleteI love your c2c and the nice picture of you. Aso like the look of those cookies. I think our anzac biscuits are a very similar recipe. What you call cookies, we call biscuits. Xox
ReplyDeleteThat is going to be gorgeous, much to wonderful for a blanket the shawl is the right decision. Dayle is the best, but you are too!
