A diamond pattern in a lovely teal coloured wool.
I've been making roughly shaped patches of various patterns.
At some point I will have enough to stitch together into an afghan...
a sort of crazy, patchwork, kind of a blanket.
The evenings are getting cooler, the sunsets are earlier,
and I am enjoying my time knitting and being cozy.
Are you working on any craft projects?
Please feel free to link up below.

The yarn I am using is pure Sheltland island wool by Croft
and it is delightful to work with.
I am using wooden needles in a size 8.
Wednesday was the first day of school for my grandchildren.
Little Natalie had her first day of kindergarten which meant she got to ride the bus
with her big brother and sister for the first time ever.
She had a practice bus ride the day before and told her mother they drove past Dunkin Donuts
but didn't get any donuts
😒
My daughter and son-in-law live in a house that his grandfather built back in 1953.
One of the first things my daughter planted when they moved in was this beautiful Rose-of-Sharon type
of bush. It took a few years to establish itself but it is absolutely beautiful now.
My mother always said she loved Rose-of-Sharon for the pretty flowers but didn't like it
because when it bloomed it meant that the summer was over.

And speaking of flowers...
every year it seems like one or two plants just shine in the gardens.
This year it's the nasturtiums.
They are absolutely stunning!
