As I promised the finished hat, now in the charity bag.
Heels are happening now.
Shoot. I can’t show you the other double pointed needle socks that are also at heel stage. I need my tutoring session to learn how to ‘turn a heel’.
Okay Word Count calls. Currently at 5,441 so I still need lots more before bedtime. See ya tomorrow!
Works in progress.
I’ve only written 412 words so far today. Total in project 4,683. It’s fun so I need to get back to it. The family Pensรฉes is so interesting! I know, it’s all in my head. LOL!!!
Meanwhile, I think I have enough yarn to make one more hat for charity.
No picture of plumbing issues. I don’t want to see it. But my shower is weeks from being done. The floor is finally dry. Now to get rid of the mold that has formed in the wall for years, maybe decades. The plumbing is put together. Once mold free the walls go back up. Meanwhile, I’m sorting
Mostly my aim is to have enough characters and a bit of plot on some kinda world. Three days!!!!! Yikes!!!!
What are you working on?
I’m learning so much while having a great time. Oh. And here comes NaNoWriMo! First character is nearly formed. Pensรฉes is the working title. Olive Odette Pensรฉes is my first character. The story is starting to form. I can’t wait! Who’s joining me?
I haven’t touched the toys. I just don’t like the sewing and stuffing. Mastering the inner child of the 72 year old is harder than when I was younger! I have a similar problem with straightening, sealing, and framing the Diamond Paintings. And I haven’t the foggiest idea who would want the paintings.
Too bad there isn’t an assembly-line set up for those who love to sew, stuff, line, and frame products. Hobbies should make happiness not more work!
Per Linda:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โhappy place.โ Write the first thing that comes to mind when you think of โhappy place.โ Have fun!
In my heart of hearts, this is my happy place:
Since that is far, far away and impossible to get to, this is my happy place:
It keeps me out of trouble and gives me peace.
I just found out that my author friend, Gita V. Reddy, has posted her books on YouTube. Here is the one about the Knitted Animals:
The Hat Lady and her Animals by Gita V. Reddy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
What a fun little story with plenty of lessons. A story in kindness. A story of using your talents to help others. A story about yarn skills.
By the way, Darlene only knits in this case. The yarn comes from, and finished products go to Hugger Hats. Those amazing ladies in the group are the ones that collect yarn and distribute the finished toys and hats to the needy. But I understand keeping it simple for the story’s sake.
I have to admit to being more than uncomfortable seeing my name in the story. But once I got used to it, I loved what the author was trying to convey.
Though the toys in the story were not the ones I made, I would love to put patterns in the book for those who wanted to learn. Many children love knitting. I was twelve when I learned to crochet and knit.
The little stuffed animals were adorable. Easy the pup was my favorite. But the cat couple was so sweet. I can’t wait for the Hugger Hats to see this story more about the group than about any one person.
Well, I did finish a couple things.
I started one more hat. I may be playing yarn chicken. Hope I have enough.
Sock on the right HOTL (Hot Off The Loom). The purple yarn is from The Willows a local yarn shop. It is so soft. The white is leftovers from another project. It it thicker but good for toes and heels. The fuzzy yarn of the cuff is from a friend. I’m not sure I’d like it next to my skin but leggings might be nice under. Keep or gift, that is the question. LOL!!!
