Slow Sunday

It has been a nice slow Sunday, stayed home, enjoyed the rain and just vegged out.

I've started a cardigan a couple weeks ago for myself but I'm afraid that it might be too big.


Using a new yarn for me by Lion Brand called Comfy Cotton Blend. I'm really liking how it's working up and it has a real nice feel to it


I did do a gauge swatch and it measure out the way it should but when I took a measurement of the back I completed it was a size too big.


Now that shouldn't be that big of a deal but the pattern is already over-sized which could be an issue.This was a PDF pattern I purchased.


  
So if it is after completed, still big..... I will make a gift of it to one of my daughters.

I'm working now on one half of the front.


And all is going well and crocheting is much quicker than knitting for me which makes it so much more enjoyable.

Hope your Sunday was a good day for you too.

Linking up with Kathy

    Such a shame that it is too big but at least your daughter has the bonus of an extra gift. It is a beautiful cardigan, I love the yarn.

Countdown to Autumn. 18 days

  After some thought I came up with a general "get to" list for a pre - Autumn preparation. I had mentioned a couple in the last post. I will keep those and have added a few more.

Deep cleaning is still on Planning activity for next month Decorating inside and out.   Making a fall outfit, sewing and knitting Find some new recipes to try Make a pair of fall or Halloween socks I will be focus on journaling with Autumn being the present subject.  Making sourdough bread again This one I have already started, Watching a cozy, feel good show.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...
