Projects~

I always have some kind of project going on

around here.

I guess I don't 'sit still' very well

and

actually

I really enjoy having something 'in hand' to do~

I've been wanting to start a few new things,

but realized that I had some unfinished projects

floating around the house~

So,

I sat down and finished this wrap that I've

had laying around FOREVER.

It just goes around the shoulders, nothing fancy,

but it's warm :)

I saw this cute bag pattern and started it, but then

put it down because I had trouble figuring out

the directions for the reversible part.

Sigh.

I'm not very good with reading directions

and would much rather have someone

'show' me how it's done.

I finally put my 'nose to the grindstone',

and

voila~

A 'peek' inside at the reversible fabric~

As for something new~

I have made a couple of these baby blankets over the

past year for gifts and am starting another two~

This will be a good project to work on while watching

the upcoming

Olympics~

I found this edge finish on Purl Bee and fell in
love with how easy it is~

And, this cute pattern I snagged at Michaels

thinking it was easy peasy.

(I think it is~but again my 'impairment with

directions' got in the way.)

Finally, after starting this about 5 x's, I

figured out (I think) how this pattern works.

My problem is that I knit on the tight side 

and that didn't help me at all with this one.

It's a work in progress, but I'm determined to 

get it done!

Here it is kind of squished on the needles~

A close up gives a little better view of the
'net weave' that will make up this bag~

Homemade Banana Bread~

Normally when I make gluten free bread, it's dense
and ALWAYS has a flat top.  I was thrilled with
this recipe, that's actually out of the Betty Crocker
Cookbook, that I used with only altering the flours.
Yum~

And, what would any project time be without something

sweet to munch on and a hot cup of tea :)
