Catch Up!!! rnd 2

I finished my market bag Friday.

Friday we also went to get materials for the infestation controller that my husband is building for me. He miscalculated the length of a board for bins so now has to figure out how much is needed. As of right now we don't have any doors yet. Hubby was so anxious to get started that he sawed and glued part of it together already.

I'm working on a design for a bookmark in Monthly Bookmarks contest instead of the KAL for Aug. 7th. Will start knitting it today and see how it shapes up.

I've been looking at several lace books that I want, but will have to wait for a while longer.

Catch Up!!

On Friday I get to acquire the materials to build the infestation controller. I've decided to have a set of bins at the bottom and another set at the top with shelves in between for books. We'll find out how well that will work (pics when built).

I just had to get some lace weight yarn for my next shawl even though I probably won't get to it until fall. I''ll be knitting Queen Anne's Lace shawl by MMario next (first circular shawl). The Faux Spanish Lace is coming along nicely but I begin to wonder if I bought enough yarn to finish it (700 yds). I will knit it till all the yarn is gone if it's not enough and call it finished.

Market bag has a few more inches to go before I start on the handles.

I just finished a bookmark by Brileyknits named Flowering Vine. I enjoyed knitting this pattern.

For a moment there I thought that I had lost my whole post. Went to my list of posts and there it was. What a relief!!!!!

Behavior Modification

My wip's are now behaving themselves and are a joy to knit. I did restart the bookmark with longer needles and is working very well. I actually don't think there was a problem with the shawl other than the one in my head. On the third try I managed to keep the market bag from twisting when I joined it in the round.

This is our largest event of the year this weekend. Hydro plane races today and tomorrow. I haven't been to see them in the park since I was a teenager (as my son puts back in the dark ages). There is also an Art Show in the Park. Hubby and I went yesterday afternoon (hot!!!!). I was so glad to see my favorite artist there, Markus Willis. There were a lot of other artists there as well with jewelry, nature photos of all types, metalcraft, sewing, porcelain ornaments, and others.
