Almost finished with the Fairy T-top.

 Pretty T top for me  

Unfortunately the “me” in the T-top is a much larger version than I would like.  I don’t like the sleeves being so bell shaped.  I already did one row (the top is about 6” longer than this ending in a lace pattern like the yoke) of a sleeve and will have to reduce it carefully. I want to make the top part lay flatter if possible.

We have been at or above 100 degrees for 18 days. Today was 100 at 11:00am and right now at 9pm it is 90 degrees.  I don’t let the pups out for long, but they do have to run around a bit or they just tear up the living room bouncing off the walls in need of reducing their energy. Ginger in front, Riley to the left in back and Brodie to the right in back.

The cat, Tommy Socks, was locked in until dinner.  He goes out for a few minutes and then comes right back into his newly air conditioned room! Finally put in a mini-split in his room.  The Mitsubishi 6,000 BTU was a little pricey, but it is so much better than the larger one I have! They finally have the vanes moving up and down and back and forth like my Fujitsu did….and that was 6 years ago!

Poor Riley….shook his head and slobbered all over himself!  

I hope all are staying cool! We are under an extreme heat warning for the next week. Might actually get a rain/thunder shower next week!!! Fingers crossed.

 My Magical Tee

I’m about half finished with the tee.  I like the body longer, and still have sleeves to do.  I am not sure how much more time it will take.  I purchased two more skeins of the pink because it dawned on me that the pattern calls for sport weight yarn and I am using fingering so have to have more.  Right now I am on my third skein.

I’m very pleased with the top.  I think it is going to be a tiny bit baggier than I wanted, but then so am I!! LOL!

HOT, HOT, HOT!!

It has been 100 degrees every day. One day it was 102.  Today is supposed to be 104. Too hot for me and the pets. At least the big doggies don’t stay outside and bark very much! It is hard keeping up with filling their bowls with water!

Hope your days are filled with cool days and nights!

Moving right along….

 My Magical Tee Top

I'm almost finished with the yoke.  I have been bad about counting, so have had to frog back several rows, and several times on a couple.  It is my nighttime cross to bare. It seems my brain is too tired.  I always have called it my Sundowners.

Isn't this lace gorgeous!!

A broader view. Excuse the background. I finished about four rows after the lace. It's going slow for me, but it is going!! I love it so much!

IBS

Imagine my surprise when I found out I can have dark chocolate and sugar! So pleased with that revelation.  

I already know what really bugs my insides for the most part, so will have to pay attention to what I am eating rather than just putting up with it. My last bout was a doozy and don't want to go through that again!
