 It's done and in the recipient's hands! I hope she loves it.. cause we all do at this house,

I am still working on this little project that is due for tomorrow! here is a start to it.
I have learned several things: tubular cast on, short rows and wrap in the round, using 2 circs,  a kitchener stitch
and (sigh),  how to rip out short rows because of gaps. Now, I am going to learn a new method to
short rows, I found a great blog.

I've got the cutest project I am about to work on...
but I couldn't understand it till I found this...
and this is a place for reference for me if you are confused!
I love you, youtube! not always, but sometimes, well you know what I mean!
The knitting and crocheting world.. entering it one step at a time!

A quick summer " tweet! "

  It's always fun when you're eating your lunch


and a new visitor comes to your window!
Today, a little cow -bird stopped by..

look!

Listen!






While I am here.. 
The latest book I am reading is Peter Duck..
and, not what you may think.. it's not about a duck..
but a retired sailor, that is his name. So far, what I can tell you is he joined Captain Flint's crew. And he and the children are about to set sail on the big ocean on a schooner.

I just started and can't wait to go grab my book now.. each chapter is a cliffhanger!
Peter Duck is the 3rd book ( 12 books in all)  in the Swallows and Amazons books by Arthur Ransome. I read the second book in a couple of days.. it was awesome!  These are great books about 4 children from England traveling the the waters in and around islands with real life adventure..near the north land of England just before the border to Scotland.

Last week I had a family vacation time, and before that I was busy helping at church vbs..
I am busy finishing knitting /crocheting projects. I will be working for the next month to put them in the fair. And as I finish them,
I will receive the next book in the series.. so a win- win situation for me! Look for pictures to be added here soon on what I am working on..

 Cheerio!
