So I don't forget, this is a great method for a stretchy cast on:

2 More days till MS4 first clue

2 More days till MS4's first clue!! I cannot wait. I will be at work crunching numbers, but you better believe I will check at lunch time. I may even try at break.

I have also start picking out fabric for the Inspectors Club Mystery quilt. And tomorrow I will start to cut the fabric and maybe even get some sewing done. I have 3 block clues to catch up. And with the possibility of Hanna heading towards our coast, we may get rain Saturday, so a great day for sewing. Unless my granddaughter decides to make her appearance this weekend:))

As for work, I have my month end stuff done and just have mail to catch up.

So that is the latest.

Something to chuckle about

Mystery Stole 4

This is the yarn and beads for the mystery stole group on Yahoo. The yarn is JoJoland Melody and was originally purchased for the Swirl Shawl. I frogged it when I could not get the center to work. The yarn was bought at: http://www.software4knitting.com/.


The beads were bought at our local A C Moore.
They are 6/0 and copper crystal.




And this is the swatch, done on 4 circulars (Susan
Bates). I think I will have to go up another size.
The beads are placed randomly. I am looking forward to the first clue to come out on Friday.

As for baby Leona's afghan, it is coming along.
I will get a picture of it up in the next post.

M and K is all moved in, now the unpacking is left to be done. M is waddling like a duck, poor thing.
Doc says if she doesn't have it in 2 wks they will induce. Baby Leona weighs 7 lbs 13 oz. and M is not due till the end of Sept. It ain't happening. K is not getting any sleep with Leona kicking alot.

S and P was here on Sat. P is just getting so tall. And daycare is still not her cup of tea. Maybe this week will be better.
