I got a fair amount done over the weekend - mostly on Saturday. The shawl is progressing well and, so far, without difficulty.
Landscape Shawl - stitch patterns
I have reached the moss stitch part of the shawl and am kind of looking forward to it as I’ve never done moss stitch before - I know, simple thing like that :) Small things amuse small minds, they say - heheh… I also have a thought for a type of finishing on this piece, that involves weaving through the eyelet divisions between the chevrons. It won’t hurt anything to try it.
4th row finished!
I also complete the 44th square for the afghan - 4 rows worth of squares now.
That’s about it for today, I’m afraid. Apparently the landlord has been successful in his attempt to sell our building and the new owner is coming by to inspect the apartments in a little while. We’re trying not to get tense about the situation; it’s not uncommon (at least in this area) for new owners to empty a building of its current tenants and start clean. Cross your fingers that he doesn’t have a brother-in-law who needs a place to live!
Happy Monday :)
No trackbacks yet.
oh, the pink really does ‘pop’ among the squares- and do i see an almost-turquoise there too? you are certainly making progress on the afghan and i do look forward to the ‘laying out of the squares’ which i hope you document for us-
here’s hoping the new owner decides to leave things as they are- it can’t be pleasant to be contently settled in and suddenly think you might be forced to look for other quarters- maybe this new owner will look with more favor on bird-feeders though so you can encourage your feathered neighbors (and those squirrely ones too) to come visit again-
i am going to put some of my fiber projects in sight today so i can look forward to working on them later when i have cleared away the debris from the weekend- looks like a battle zone around here right now-
stay happy-
I hope your sorting goes well, Barb.
I’d had the thought about the feeders too :) Wouldn’t that be nice? If not, assuming we aren’t ousted, I’m going to grow morning glories next year. Coupla big pots, cord up and around the tree branches - should look nice from the kitchen window :)
hmm. the new owner thing sounds stressfull. Keep breathing Robbyn….keep breathing. :) L
Lisa - Stressful doesn’t begin to describe it. Breathing, yes - gasping, hyper-ventilating, panting - those all count, right? :)
Keeping my fingers crossed for you! If you & Myria need a place to live, I’ve got a house I’ll rent you for a good rate! :::Grin::: Only problem is you *would* have to move out here!
LOL - thanks Bron. I’ve always wanted to see New Mexico but now’s maybe not the time. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
