Anniversary Lace Shawl

MAGGIE

I dreamed of Maggie last night. It was super super real…she came back to visit me knowing how much I missed her.  Another pup came with her but went in another room. She was a really neat dog…did get nippy in her old age, protecting me, but still…what a wonderful companion.

ANNIVERSARY LACE SHAWL

Not the sort of photo one would normally post to show off a shawl! LOL! I was only trying to capture the colors in this one…not that it did.

I plan on posting another one with the completed border. I"m only a few hours away….was going for a longer border until I realized it was going to be way too long. Too much fabric in front (kerchief style) is too large an addition to my already large additions! After all is said and done, I may need to find a recipient for the shawl.

COCO PUFF

She is the darker of the two girls. She has found she loves to stand up on the couch, lean on the back, and watch the goings on when the others are playing on the deck.  The two girls will be 6 months old on the 14th of October. Ginger weighs 67 pounds and Coco weighs 63.

Fingerless Mitts, Doral Wristlets

Malabrigo Arroyo Fingerless Gloves

I ended up making these shorter, but also made the wrist band and top border slightly wider.  I also left an area on the side to use as a thumb hole, rather than have them just hanging on the wrist with no support.

I like this size as they don't get in the way, are easy to get on and off, and actually add warmth.

My brother gave me some seeds for my birthday (my request) and the Cosmos and California Poppies are just getting around to blooming. We have had a cold gloomy summer so they had a late start.

I love the two colors together. Just received some tulips he bought, too! This was a great birthday and Christmas because he gave me Day Lilies as well as some Iris. My garden is looking very scrumptious!
