many shawls make...

a lot

...................................

it seems that many are making the same thing at the moment

I take part in 

Annemarie's blog link 

on Saturdays 

and today after I had linked 

I went back and  looked at the all the others there this week

I saw many other pictures that look 

just like this

it seems to be a very popular pattern

you can get yours here

or here

cloudy with a chance of finishing...

I bought far too much mohair

well I didn't know how big the balls would be

and it was on sale

so I made sure I had sufficient

to make

what 

I don't remember!!!

I had just made something that used every single centimetre

not a cent to spare

so I overindulged

but now I can make a great big

something or other

right?

isn't it pretty?

all soft and fluffy

and weightless

and tangled up with itself

we are all watching the tropical storm in the Atlantic

they say it will land in Florida

if it does I hope it's just a breeze by the time it gets there

no one needs any more drama and damage

(only good thing is it might disrupt a certain "party" taking place)

but as long as no one gets hurt!!!

(well, I can't stand them but I don't want them hurt)

(imho)

if it comes this way it won't be for days so we'll be able to get ready if necessary

could use the rain 

but not the nonsense

stay alert if you're down there and stay safe

♥

another one gone...

wear some flowers in your hair...

I found an unfinished bag and

finished it

it's a pineapple bag

(but I don't have a pineapple to put in it!!!!!)

I'm thinking about whether I should line it 

or not

sleep deprived...

and before you know it you have another shawl on the hook

thought the light in this picture was pretty

it rained early this morning

5.30 a m 

:{

on my feet again

so I had to get up and find somewhere else to snooze

but once I'm awake I find it hard to fall asleep again

 after a coffee and a read of my book 

one that I didn't even know I had 

let alone not read

YEAH

(I'm back in Botswana with Mma Ramotswe and crew)

I ended up on the computer

thought I would "clean up" some lists and files and bits and bobs

but I saw a shawl that piqued my interest

and I just picked up the hook and the yarn and

off we go

it won't take long this one

it's from a bit of this pattern and a bit from that pattern and a bit from me making it up as we go along.

It's still hot and humid and dry as hell

the rain isn't enough to do any good

not in these parts anyway

everything is wilted and dead and sad looking

which is why there haven't been any outside photos this year

the lake is drying up

and the bottom of the lake ain't a purdy sight let me tell you!!!

it's getting scary again

so let's hope the patch on the roof holds and we get some more rain

 ! :) !

OK back to the hook!!!

and fixing dinner and trying not to fall asleep in the mashed potatoes!!!!!
