Pippa's Fair Isle sweater is coming along. I will probably finish it today. Here's the front.…

It may have been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon, but not at my place. 

As I'm sure was the case with most people, especially in…

I spent my birthday plotting out a new chart for a smaller doll sweater. I've been knitting it this week. I'm already almost to the neck.

It should have…

Just to catch up on the quilting:

I'm working on the swag now, and I'm right at the first corner. In some places the cross-hatching right above the swag needs to be completed. Soon I'll be finishing the outer edges, and it's going faster, now that the book is (mostly) out…

To start off, here is some actual quilting:

With some of the other projects done, I've been able to get some quilting done, in spite of the…

Wow! Santa read one of the lessons at church on Sunday! Seriously!

It really is Santa, as you can see in this…

At least one project was finished this week.

This sweater is the Steampunk Blouse, a free pattern by a person on Ravelry…

Mr. Truly Me 74 (real name to be determined when he reaches his new home) is almost ready to go.

I bought most of his clothes, because I've been pretty busy, but I did…

The past week is just a blur. Looking at my photos helped, however. I remember that I made a hat for Pippa to go with the pajamas, though.

I made the hat so I could have a…

It was very exciting when the books arrived. I was phone banking for Reclaim Our Vote when they arrived in two boxes that were hard to lift. This is only about half of them. 

I was very nervous when I looked through one copy, but everything seemed to be OK. Then I went to Amazon to check…

Well, it might have been a quiet week at Lake Wobegon, but not at our place. The biggest event was the arrival of the book. (The phone is for scale. The book is 8.5 X 11".)

I was very happy with the quality of the printing, especially the photos, which I…

Even with the cooler nights, the garden is still producing.

It's nice to have our own vegetables, especially as soup and stew weather…

I'm continuing to make progress on the whole-cloth quilt. I'm getting really close to the swag pattern on this side, as you might be able to see.

The Which Came First Shawl is still waiting to be blocked. Why didn't I get it done, you might ask? Well, I need to clean…

In spite of an incredibly busy week, I managed to bind off the "Which Came First Shawl."

 

I still have to weave in ends and block. In…

You may remember our Air Quality Index reading last week of 525 (September 12), which was "Hazardous." By Wednesday, we were down to 264.

I really want to finish my whole-cloth quilt this year.

It's hard to tell that I've made any progress on it, but it really is happening. I've also made a…

I've been working on my whole-cloth quilt while watching Star Trek: Voyager in the evenings.…
