I got the book, I got the book!

It came yesterday close to 6pm, I am on the end of every delivery route around here. But that is okay, it teaches me patience. I marked all the pages of the colorwork patterns that will defenitely have to be made into some things!

Persian Poppies, the shawl design

I didn’t look at the name of the next one, I was so tired I just stared happily at it for a while. At one point a few years ago I would have taken the picture into a tattoo artist & had it done, full back, with some changes. I love lotus flowers!

So here is the plan. Finish the Jefferson sweater, come up with a color plan & start swatching the persian poppies for a shawl pattern. Although the more I look at the lotus flowers the more I like them. When the time comes we’ll see! I say that a lot don’t I? Well, that is just how I work. Don’t plan too far ahead you never know what life is going to throw at you!

Going through some of my stash yesterday I came across something I completely forgot I had! Rowan Cotton Tape & the cotton tape book.  I bought them to make Carla

That is the perfect summer sweater! I have it on my chair waiting to be cast on. that is a very portable project so I don’t feel bad casting on when Jefferson still needs a front!

And last but not least, I leave you with the attack of the snails shot!

While weeding we found a snail nesting ground. Once their home was disturbed they decided to move on out! They are crossing the patio to who knows where. The larger ones have little ones piggyback. Almost cute! Of course, the kids just wanted to keep them all as pets, all named Gary.
