Great progress on all your pieces … especially that sweater! Stay cool!!

Seeing more of the sweater... I love it even more. I am hoping to make a trip to your LNS in two weeks... we have a long weekend, and I am making this one of our stops! One of these days I am going to have to try a musselburg hat... I have heard others talk about it as well... one of these days! Have a great week!! Happy stitching! 💜

Your daughter's sweater is coming along so nicely! Kudos to you for picking it back up! The temperature blanket is inching along, and let me tell you, it will be huge! Mine is around 4 ft at the half-way point, which was July 1, when you consider the 11 extra rows that go between months. I have decided that I'm NOT working in the ends as I go, because it caused extra bulk and therefore a wavy edge. So, I pulled them all back last week (apprx 360 ends to pull out, eek!) and they are relaxing, hopefully, back to their proper shape. I will do the envelope border she recommends when I finish Jan 1, 2025. Hummingbirds around here are black (or very dark brown, maybe) with a ruby throat. I see many every day. The frame they show for that bigfoot/bee piece is just adorable. I'm going on the Mid-Michigan yarn crawl Tuesday, the 16th. I already know, based on the LYS's Monday night video, what yarn I will buy there and the pattern I'll use. I'm going to buy their custom color "Tea With Friends" and the shawl pattern "Let's Twist" by Lily Go! Kristin shows it during the video and it's beautiful. That's the only purchase I have planned, but I know once I hit those stores, I'm in trouble. We are planning to go to 10! I bought a mat cutter and some mat board, so my daughter and I are going to give some framing our attention this coming weekend. We both have plenty to frame. We "know a guy" who will make us custom frames. Have a great week. See you next time.💙
