It's been almost a month

Got the camera bug this morning and am playing catch up with the blog--lol.


A few flowers surviving my neglect and the summer heat:


Working on a mate for



this baby boot:



Playing at the knitting machine. I'm liking this border I found when looking at blankets:

I'm thinking it would look good as place mats for a table setting.

Another playful time at the knitting machine. I like how it curls up, but I really should block it:



More work on the everlasting bagstopper--love the name. I got the casing for the top done on the knitting machine.


OOPS! Well, I tried to get it done--lol. I shouldn't knit with distractions. So, what happened was I started hanging stitches on the machine, and got pulled away. When I returned, I was like, let's get this thing done. Pushed back the "extra" needles and knit away. Hung the second side and discovered the extras weren't really extras, so some frogging is in order here. I put a garter ridge at the top of the casing by turning the work twice with the garter bar. I really like that. Next challenge--find the rest of the yarn to finish it--lol.

A peak out the front door:


Yay! Crepe Myrtle is blooming!


Lazy assistant--lol:


A stray we feed who looks amazingly like the assistant:



Kitchen window pretties:


Take care.
