Several Weeks of crochet and HOT temps!

 Crocheted 🧶 Cardigans

With Google is not allowing me to upload my photos.  I am not sure I can even put up links to the photos. You must give them permission to certain cookies where they get to track your activity. I guess they have to make their money somehow, but I already find them a bit too invasive.

So

Goodbye.

DOING BETTER - A LITTLE ACCOMPLISHED

 CARDIGANS

I am not sure if these have been posted before. I didn't find the finished photo of the first cardigan, but will search again later.  

All of these are the Pistachio pattern by Michele DuNaier.  The sweater pattern is for a boy, but I don't put the collar on so I can use it for a girl. I had a hard time with the collar, but that is ME not the pattern.

These are all made with one of the Stylecraft yarns, DK weight. The top one is the only one I have finished the past week. The rest were from before. 

I need to redo the finishing on the one below as the button edging isn't good. Too wide.

Tomorrow is supposed to be the last 100 degree temps for many days. We will be in the 90's. Fires in Oregon have tainted the skies so hard to breathe. I have been keeping the dogs inside. We had a weird thunderstorm and huge winds, some up to 50mph down some mountains. It raged through her and only lasted for about 45 minutes and cleaned the air for a bit. Nice!

We will be in the 90's for a week, then back into the 100's.

BUMMER DAY

 OUCH!

Seems that my arthritis is really acting up. I think this is the worst ever. I was trying to take a nap (and did eventually) and not only were my knees hurting but my elbows were aching something awful. Hands and feet swollen, ankles hurting, hip throbbing. Mercy, I'm getting old and decrepit. Everything hurts. My neck is even creaking.

I finished a little cardigan in a bright teal called Empire by Stylecraft. I suppose it has become obvious that I bought a LOT of their line when I was making the mosaic afghan for my niece....who didn't appear to appreciate it or even like it. That's weird to me

Anyway, I will take photos and post later. I need to do something for the pain right now. Ordered some Glucosamine/Chondroitin as read it helps. I use it for the dogs, so no reason I shouldn't use it, too. Not the same kind, though. (Looks like Google is demanding access to my computer now to let me post photos. This may spell the end to my blog. They are already invasive enough.

👎

My wildflowers are blooming profusely and I was going to post photos, but all of a sudden Google won't let me post unless I allow them cookies....ALL cookies, even though it says "only necessary."  I don't know what changed with them as I haven't changed a thing. Just makes the day a bit more of a bummer for sure!
