Hello friends. It’s been so long. Over a year which is shameful. If I were going to make excuses, I’d say it’s because I’ve been working over 45 hours a week, began a master’s program in Fall 2017, and have had two recurrences of cancer. That’s what I’d say IF I were going to make excuses. But that would be bad form, wouldn’t it?
Last post, I let you know I was going to have another grandchild, and I do! Her name is Addison and she’s the bee’s knees! Between she and Miss Nora (who is growing like a weed), I’m a happy grandma. Just wish I saw them more often, as they live up north and I’m still here on the coast.
But, there’s knitting. Always knitting. And that brings me joy.
Last month, my husband took me to the Bahamas and it was grand. We stayed at a resort in Nassau and I loved it. It was the first real vacation we’d had in 5 years. Wish I was back there now, as it’s taken a turn for the cold here in the Deep South and I’m not pleased. I took knitting with me, but didn’t work on it much as I think it makes the husband a little embarrassed when I knit in public. He’s still under the delusion that knitting is for old people. I know…I should knit anyway. Besides, I’m almost old…
Gorgeous! |
When are we going back? |
Sigh... |
Okay, enough of the beach. I miss it too much. I’m posting pics of some things I’ve finished since my last post. There aren’t nearly enough completed projects to fill an entire year, but it’s all I’ve had time for.
Flower Garden Ruffle Blanket for Addie |
Which Way is Up cardi for Addie (in Ohio State colors, of course) |
Just finished this for my boss's first grandchild. |
Lined it with fuzzy fabric to hide the floats. |
Don't know when I'll write again, but happy knitting.
Lisa
