Saturday Sky

Took this photo around noon I think. It's a nice day,
but may rain later tonight. Guess we can always use
the rain, but my email friend in Denmark is having a
drought. Crazy weather.



Well, the pink pig. I reknit the ear that was wrong.
Now, it is different than the other ear. Can't win.
It's also huge, don't know what happened. Guess I
should start all over with the ears, and pay attention
to the directions and have them both look the same.
Frustration. Silly ears.

So, I've been knitting

Saturday Sky and Reflections

Took this picture around 1 PM this afternoon. Instead of
going onto the balcony, I went outside and walked around
to another view. It is a nice day but warm at 85 degrees.




Wednesday night we drove into Stroudsburg to church as Hubby
was to speak to the scouts about Electronics or something. I
read a book while sitting on a chair in the foyer. Then we
started for home, but hubby saw a soda place and wanted to
stop. He went inside to get some, and I sat in the car.
There was this big puddle on the parking lot and I noticed
the trees reflected in it. So, I got my camera out of my
purse, and opened the door. When I stood up, I couldn't see
the trees in the puddle, so I stepped away from the door
and hunkered down to take the picture. I love reflections
and shadows and things.



Well, last week, I said I would finish the pink pig.
Not yet. I did get the pieces of ears and nose out
of the bag. Decided I need to reknit the first ear
I did, as I misread the directions and it came out
pointy. So, haven't done any knitting yet, but
will soon. Then I will sew them on.

Yes, I am a good procrastinator. The granddaughter's
birthday is in July towards the end. So I have some
time.

Hubby signed up to change to DSL Internet. We have
cable modem internet now. But DSL is slightly
cheaper. So Wednesday afternoon it will be
installed. We will see. Not sure about this.

So, no knitting this week

Saturday Sky

Took this around 11 this morning. Noticed that most of my
Saturday Sky's look similar. I go out on the balcony on
Saturday and take the picture looking the same way between
the trees. Trees are too tall to look too many other ways.



No Knitting this week. Still procrastinating on that pink pig.
I think it's because it's sewing instead of knitting. Silly me.

Hubby went and help a family move their things onto trucks.

He's home now hot and exhausted. We have a wedding reception
tonight at church. A friend's son second wedding.

I promise to get that pig done this week.

So, no knitting

Rainy Saturday Sky

I took this around 11 AM today. It had rained hard a little
before this. But wasn't raining when I took the pic. Very
humid.



No knitting at all this week. Well, that's not exactly true as
we went to a picnic on Monday for the Memorial Day Picnic. I
took my knitting, and managed to knit both Pink Pig ears, and
his snout. I now need to sew them on the pig body. I seem to
have some sort of block, that makes me procrastinate sewing
on those things. Driving myself crazy.

Maybe I'm procrastinating since the next thing I want to knit
is the Fair Isle Cardigan, and I've recently heard on a podcast
that the largest size on the pattern, isn't big enough for us
bigger ladies. So, I will need to read my Big Girl Knits for
ideas for making the cardigan big enough for me.

Recently I was working on the Tilted Duster. When I put
together the top, before picking up for the skirt, I tried
it on. Even though I had made it bigger, by the figuring
of the leader of our knit guild, it didn't fit. So I
frogged it. Now I'm worrying that even if I made the
cardigan bigger will it fit? Will the fair isle
designs come out all right? Anyway, worries.

Anybody out there that had made a Fair Isle sweater
bigger? How did it work, what did you do? Did it fit?

Thanks,

So, I've been knitting
