Hectic
..Things have been very hectic lately. I have been up to my nose at work, so many on vacation, and in a small shop that makes a big load for everyone else. But...I know that someone has to cover for me when I am on vacation so it is only fair. So, my WIPs have taken a back seat lately and I have missed working on them.
..I did get my delivery made to the hospitals for TTT. The nurses were so appreciative - they were all diving into the bags to look at the baby items. It is such a joy to see that the items are so loved.
..I got my items sent to Ellen for Ship Support. I did not get to finish as many hats as I would have liked but there will be some soldiers who will know that someone in the states is praying for them.
...I have started a prayer shawl on my loom and completed a few inches on it. I still have one on the needles but I wanted to use the loom for the next shawl. Since it takes me longer to do one on the looms I figured that I better start on it before finishing the needle knit one. We will see how it goes.
..I have some baby booties on my preemie loom, a baby hat on the needles, and a hat for SS on a set of circulars, and a poncho for me on another set of needles. I love to have several projects going at the same time - I can change around - especially on big projects like a shawl, poncho, or afghan, as it keep me from getting bored with the color scheme before I finish the item. Working on it a little at a time makes the item seem new every time I look at it. Strange, I know but it works for me.
..The puppies are getting bigger - 7 weeks now and are becoming a joy to watch. They are ready for their new homes now - so we are patiently waiting while their new owners are found, just enjoying them while we can.
...have a wonderful week all!
Happy Knitting :)
