nana's tea towel

while visiitng nana the other day after watching her try to do the tea towel toppings i told her i'd take them home, cut each one in half and then sew a seam and do a starter row. she can then crochet the topper on each one for Christmas gifts. we plan to visit with her again this weekend as Dee has decided the living room needs to be rearranged cuz she fell into the corner nd couldn't get up so had to call lifeline which called the local fire dept.

i now have 10 towels, cut in half and seamed and first row done for her, which is actually 20 towels for her to do.

it's not raglan sleeve but you get the idea.






this is the one i'm doing, turquoise and white stripes.

stat of the sleeves, had an awesome idea to run a landline at the first row so i can later determine how much border rows i want.

new cardigan, update

workig on 3rd repeat of white stripe.

new cardigan, book

this shows the color change after 20 rows.

this shows how i am carrying the unused yarn up the sides so i have no knots.

worked with vicky over the phone as we went through 6 rows of a pattern, we actually worked them together. she plans to call again thursday and this is where we will BO the center 22 sts for the neck, attach a new yarn and work both sides at once.

also got 4th book of twilight series.

bison and new cardigan

buffalo in TN at Land Between the Lakes National park. it was at the elk and bison praries that we got pictures of these bison. we also saw some deer in the woods and snakes.

we didn't get to see the eiffel tower, next trip.

since i didn't get the job i decided to start on my cardigan. it will be a raglan sleeve fly away cardigan and similiar to one i saw at Express for $80. the stripes wlll be in turquoise and white and they will be wide stripes.

used seed edging and will after it's done use that same border where the button band will go.
