I'm knitting fish!
This is a lot of fun. I found this group, BitsandBobs2, and they are making fish afghans. What a fun way to use up a lot of leftover yarn. I have so many ideas for this project.
My first fish was a multicolored fish. Cool!
I got out some camoflague varigated yarn and thought....hmmmm. I could make a camo afghan for my nephew by using this and brown, greens and black yarns. So, two fishies down, 117 to go!
Then I thought about the leftover red/white/blue varigated I have. Add some red, white, and blue yarns and I'll have a patriotic afghan. The possibilities are endless.
It's amazing what one can find on the internet, surfing instead of reading or knitting.
Back to fishing......

Pasta sauce

And now.........Sauce!!!
Mangia!

T O M A T O E S

I LOVE this time of year. My garden is flourishing.... Check out the bounty below.
ROMAS
This basket of beauties are destined to become delicious pasta sauce. The basil and rosemary is picked, need to snip off some oregano and let the creating begin! Mama Mia!!!


BIG BEEF
This basket of lovelies are named Big Beef. Check out the one in the middle! These are about to transform into delicious salsa and are going to go on a few BLTAs.... Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato and Avocado, sandwiches. A few may drop in on the pot of simmering pasta sauce.


Still more to pick.... looks like I'll be making pasta sauce again next weekend. I love the way the house smells when the sauce is simmering on the stove all day.

More round cloths and a Longhorn

I found this pattern on a blog. Love it!!! Made it for my Mom in Texas. Going to knit a couple more for my sisters. Go UT!!!


I knitted a couple of more round cloths.
They were knitted on size 7 needles. First one is using Sugar N Cream "Playtime" cotton yarn.
I don't have the yarn band for the red one but it was also SnC.

Two dishcloths

This week I knitted two dishcloths that were fun to watch emerge from my needles.
First up is the Daquiri dishcloth. I found the pattern here. It is under the 6/19/07 entry. I made this with Peaches and Cream 100% cotton yarn, Baby Green #54.


The next one is a lacy round cloth. This is a Rhonda White pattern found here. I used Peaches and Cream 100% cotton yarn, Orange Sherbert #131. I'm thinking of making more of these. I am going to do them in fall colors for Thanksgiving and in Christmas colors for Christmas. These are going to make great gifts.
