pinwheel lapghan, smelly sock, and dungbeetle scarf......

here's a picture of the pinwheel lapghan for my friend....picture doesn't so it justice wither colour or size wise: it's much bigger than it looks.
Lorna's Laces Happy Valley with a Periwinkle edging, and a single crochet happy valley to finish off.



and here's the wee catnip and valerian filled Lorna's Laces sock :)
For some reason this has typed in unerlined, and in pink...no idea why......

and this afternoon I wound a ball of laceweight alpaca - Mama Ocllo baby alpaca, beautifully soft, but oooooo the colour......I must have bought it in a sale I think; found it in my stash, and it is just the right thing for making the Pawprint Scarf before attempting the shawl, apart from the colour: I'm very much a bright colour gal - especially red; and this is called 'moss' but the name which springs to mind is dung beetle......could be why it was in a sale.. :)

and when it's all rolled into a ball, well, it looks just like the ball of dung that a dung beetle rolls.....

one successful baby sock.....

...I had one already done, waiting to have its partner made, which of course it doesn't now need: so, this afternoon I stuffed it with catnip and valerian and it is a huge success....... :)

only the best - Lorna's Laces pink stripe: will take a pic if I can sometime, but it will be all soggy and chewed......

just finishing a big pinwheel circle to be used as a lapghan for friend who is in the hospice: myeloma; very pretty, Lorna's Laces again, Happy Valley edged with periwinkle: nice and bright and cheery. Hopefully he can keep his knees cosy when he gets back in his wheelchair....leg problems right now.

Very dear longtime friend who has been a real rock to me over the years; he and his partner are just about the closest friends I have.

will try to get a pic of it when I've finished - I loved making it and hope that 'rubs off' when he uses it......

random ramblings

the socks for the cats were not a success......apparently everyone wants baby things from Gap and the like - can't help being disappointed......

Chris Evert is married to Greg Norman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know I have been behind in reading the tennis blogs, but how the hell did I miss that one? WTF????????

the emotional vampire is doing her thing again.......

my concentration is crap - had to rip out one piece of knitting today, and then did four rounds on a sock before I noticed I'd been decreasing in the wrong place......

what else.......taken up the guitar again; just for me. Good feeling to go back to it.

well, I just felt like blogging a bit......
