This is the eight inch squares blanket
And these are the 9 1/2 inch squares
Sorry about the light issues in the photos, I had my son hold them up so I could snap a quick photo so I could blog before Sunday was over already. LOL And well you can see it wasn't the best conditions for picture taking.Not sure if you remember but I said I received 2 packages last week. One I posted yesterday and the other was the Honeysuckle sock yarn I bought from Cinders. It's even prettier then I hoped it would be. Now to find the perfect sock pattern to knit it up into.
We had a surprise visit at church today, my friends Ruth and Dave, who used to live here locally and moved down South, currently in Savannah Georgia we there. Now I talk to Ruth on the phone everyday and she told me they were going to North Carolina this weekend, the little sneak. LOL. Anyway I haven't seen them in 2 years and it was a great surprise. I am hoping we can get together one night this week and go to dinner before they head back home again.Another surprise... Adam called. He wanted to see Nana (that's me, lol) So I picked him up after church and we took a trip to the Y for a 2 1/2 hour play date in the pool. This time I got him to wear the safety belt and he had a ball. He was swimming everywhere. He's laying next to me now watching Diego save the dinosaur. He already watched Diego save the moon. LOL, great TV going on at Nana's house. I know you are all jealous.
Now that the squares are done I am going to work on a couple designs I have in my head for dishcloths and I need to make up some snowman scarves for the ETSY store and there are the Red Scarves too. Never a lack of things to be done around here.
I'll see you all tomorrow when I announce the winner of the stitch markers from this weeks contest and start the final week of the 2 month long contest. I am always sad to see them end, but I know the break is good for us all, lol.
Make sure you stick around in September though as I am going to run a poll regarding prizes for some of the upcoming contests (October and December and January) I have a few thoughts and I'd like to know what you all think about them.
Ok I guess that's it. Hope your day was filled with surprises and laughter.

wow kat they look great! so productive!! Not any knitting done today...so far!! But did get more berries frozen (blue, black & straw), tomatoes brought inside to ripen before the rain started, and lots of ipckles, peach salsa & peach & lavendar jam made. Started the soft chive cheese just now. Am going to knit some soon though. As soon as the dinner dishes are done...gotta love it when the kids help out cleaning! smile, enjoy your day!
The afghans look great! Have fun with that yarn. There are so many great sock patterns out there that it is hard to choose.
It's always wonderful to be able to spend time with your grandson. You've really been busy with all that seaming! They both look great!
wow... your blanket looks really beautiful
Greetings Pe
The blankets are great! Congratulations to you on reaching the finish line! I bet that it is more fun to swim with Adam than to swim alone. He's so lucky to have a Nana that comes to get him whenever he calls.
Oh - and I have a new charity project for you - check my blog LOL
The afghans are awesome!
Love that yummy sock yarn!
Okay, now you're gonna have to start remembering that kitchener stitch. You'll need it on some of those sock toes. :P
Hugs!
Your blankets are VERY VERY impressive. I can't believe how fast you did the sewing...awesome :)
I wonder what pattern you'll pick for your pretty new sock yarn???
