Saturday

Today was beautiful here in southern Wisconsin.  I finally got out to weed in the back flower bed.  Hopefully it'll stay that way til spring! 😄

I've been working on this shawl probably at least a year.  I've ripped it all out and started over 3 times.  I have finally reached the point that I ripped out last!  I am not a fast knitter, or an accomplished knitter.  And for awhile, I couldn't knit for very long at a time because my hands hurt, but finally I'm making progress.  I have decided to knit for an hour a day (more or less - I average 5 or 6 days a week anyway). I can knit two rows of the pattern in an hour!  But, I'm a little faster when I just have knit/purl.  Anyway, I hope to finish it by cool fall weather.  

I also decided I wasn't getting a lot of applique done when I only do it at applique club, so now I also try to do a little applique every day.  Today I prepped a few more pieces. Goal for tomorrow is to do a little piecing before I sit and knit and applique!

Until next time....blessings.
