Thought this view of my new shelf liner
could fill a quiet Monday's blogpost.
**************
We've had more clouds and rain.
It okay, for a change.
hugs
Perhaps a Cowl?
A Scarf ?

Summer temps today
~90°
Gorgeous blue sky,
White puffy clouds.
And lots of greens, greens, greens.

This particular Mrs Bakery Bear is so fashion conscious !
She worries about her figure.

Still organizing a work basket
To hold my
Embroidery needles and floss.

What's up this weekend?
Anything special?
Not much going on here.
Bidding our time 'til our next houseguest arrives later this month.

❤️❤️❤️
Gathering my embroidery paraphernalia
For an online
Rebecca Ringquist Embroidery Workshop.
This workshop is just what I need to get back to my flosses and Perle cotton.
Have been able to scrounge enough embroidery and tapestry needles so that a trip to Jo-Ann's won't be necessary.
There's more than enough DMC here to last for a
VERY long time.
Am looking forward
To threading some needles this evening.
Now, then,
Which colors are first ! ! ? ?
Ahh, rain!
There's half an inch in the gauge since 4:30 this morning!!

She's Mrs Bakery Bear,
I could not resist picking up my needles
to Cast On!
She's being knit with
100% Mongolian Camel Wool!!!
Just finished her face
And immediately whipstitched her to her body.
What a HOOT ! !
Sure hope your Summer
has begun without
too many "weather" days.
hugs

Could not resist this colorway ! !
Oh, the Purples. And what about that Gold! ! !
When unwound its beauty was undeniable.
Such rich colors.
Once I decided it would become a lovely pair of sox I searched Ravelry for a pattern that would not interfer with the gorgeous colors.
So many great patterns to choose from.
After all the oooh-ing and ah-ing
'Honey Badger' designed by Irishgirlieknits with its eyelet pattern is just enough to keep my interest in what otherwise would have been plain Stockinette knitting.
Have not turn out exactly as I thought.
The Gold is not as predominate as I expected.
Interesting . . . .
Only a couple more inches before I cast off.
Can't wait to wear 'em.
hugs
Mail was good today.
Great yarn for a new pair of sox
Wonderful magazine for inspiration
A snailmail note from a Special Friend
Below Zero Degrees F by tomorrow morning

Last week Ann Buud had a giveaway on her blog.
I was lucky enough to win a copy of one of her many books. My choice!
The one I added to the Ann Budd section of my library -
The knitter's handy book of sweater patterns
My book arrived today!!!
You know
I'll be spending this evening browsing through these pages
I like that there's a sturdy spine - the book lays flat.
Nifty elastic page keeper, too.
No more thumbimg through looking for my lost page.
