Another nasturtium finally bloomed. Did you know they're edible and can be used in salads? I haven't yet since I have so few of them, but next year maybe I will.
A little more Ivy League knitting...Checkmate by
Emily it is.
Try not to mistake this one for a pumpkin. lol
I finished the little shoulder shawl.
Details here.
About a year ago I broke one of my
Knitpick's Harmony needles, a US #4 needle. I didn't want to just throw it away and kept it thinkin' I would find a use for it sooner or later. Last weekend I sanded the broken end with fine grit sandpaper, applied a little furniture polish to finish it off nicely, and now, it can be used alone or in combination with this bangle as a shawl pin. I'd rather have a nice plain circle, but I found this laying around..maybe one of the grandgals left it. Looks like it's mine now...chuckles.
A bloom from the genus fli swattus. ;)
Hope your week is full of blossom after blossom.

I love your dishcloths and your shawl is lovely! You are like me...I hate to throw anything out and will either try to fix the item or find another use for it. Good thinking with the shawl pin...reminds me of the hair barrette with the wooden pick through it that I used to wear eons ago :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a pleasant life to live! The shawl turned out pretty and your flowers are a pleasure to see. That pin is a clever idea, I'll try to remember what you did if I ever break a needle.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a great week!
Your shoulder shawl is so pretty, love the colors, that is clever what you did with the broken needle. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI like the nasturtiums, I might try
ReplyDeletemy hand at 'em, myself (next year).
I like that orange cloth, it looks
very fall-ish, against the ivy. Where
did you get orange cotton?! I am
pea green with envy.
The shawl pin actually looks pretty good. I couldn't picture it, when
you were tellin' me about it.
Nice lotus, or is that a pond lily? LOL
Love,
Me.^)
Beautiful cloths and flowers and your shawl pin idea is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteHow clever you are using your broken needle for your shawl pin! I really love your work! It's as pretty as your flowers!!
ReplyDeleteOh dear, now I have seen the surprise shawl you have obviously
ReplyDeleteknit for me for Christmas! lol!
What a lovely colorway!
Dropping in to wish you and your family a lovely weekend. I love your clothes!:o)

What a wonderful use of the needle! I have a circ from them like that that doesn't want to stay attached to the cable. Now I know something useful I could do with it, thanks!
ReplyDeleteAnd your pictures are, as always, absolutely gorgeous.
I love the shawl pin!!!
ReplyDeleteVERY clever use of a broken knitting needle! And so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a beautiful week.
