Balmoral

Completed in Caron's Grandma's Best cotton thread, size 10. Pattern is Marianne Kinzel, Second Book of Modern Lace Knitting. Think I'll try a smaller project next.

Rosie Found

The internet is amazing, a web site, mass emailing, the area was blanketed with Rosie's info and picture, and she was found. Someone spotted her, called Animal Control, who recognized her from the flyer and website, picked her up, and she's now home safely, none the worse for wear.

FInd Rosie

Lost female German Shepherd

A very good friend is looking for her lost Rosie in the Short North/Grandview/Upper Arlington area. Rosie is a black GSD, petite, friendly but most likely very scared. She escaped from her pet sitter's yard this morning and we're all desparately trying to find her and bring her home. If you are in the Columbus area please keep an eye out for her, large reward, details at this website, including who to call.

Daffodil

Giving quitting smoking another try, trying to cut back to half a pack a day and then make the final step, down to just under a pack right now. Keeping hands busy, finished Daffodil designed by Marianne Kinzel. I have so much cotton crochet thread on hand, will keep me busy for a long time to come. Blocking in this picture.

Rain, rain, rain

Lots of it lately, and wind and cooler temps.

Finished the Duchrow. Haven't washed or blocked it yet, its really big, and will be even bigger after stretching.

Moving Along

Only 22 more rows to go on the latest project, its so big one row takes at least an hour, so awhile to go yet. Becoming just as much a fan of Duchrow as Niebling, the oldtime lace desingers are incomparable, and they charted their patterns without the benefit of a computer, pretty amazing.
Still not sure where in the heck I'm going to block this, maybe on the bed and block the dogs from the bedroom?
