    ~ Show and Tell Friday ~ My latest Knitwear ~

     

    .

    It's that time a week again.

    .

    I would like to share this week what I have been  very busily working at.  I had some UFO's. ( un finished objects )   I had to finish my hubbys aunts reading scappy shall . 

    and Essies lacy guantlets.

    .

    Plus I knitted two scarves ( I was on a roll, lol) and made some earrings. ( not shown...maybe next week)

    .

    This is what kept me seated so I didn't come down with the flu like my boys did. ( I also took lots of tinctures too. [0=)

    .

    If you want to join us in the fun of Show and Tell Friday  just....

    ~Make a Show and Tell Post and make sure it is wholesome.  It can be pretty much what ever you want to share.  It could be about you ...or your family ....or what is going on in your homeschooling.

    I love the scrapy shawl! My great grandmother always used all the bits of yarn and would make shawls like that.
    Its good you were able to have some productive down time. ( even though you were sick!). I love your term UFOs . Makes unfinished projects seem fun!

    I love when I can get those "UFOs" finished! I'm working on several right now in preparation for dd's 13th b-day party. Gotta run because this computer isn't going to help me get things done! LOL!

    UFO's! That's a funny acronym!!! I love Essie's guantlets. And, you have been one busy mom this week with all of your knitting projects completed. Can't wait to see your necklaces.

    Hey Mary! I hope you are still fighting off the 'bugs' in your family. I always appreciated seeing knitting projects that use up those extra rolls of yarn!

    My link got lost for S&T, but I re-linked it now.

    Stay well!

    Hi Mary!

    Your UFO projects are much appreciated by us : )
    I love the scarves. Hannah loves it too. Now I have at least one reason why I should look forward to winter again.. . . to show off my new scarf. Thanks.

    In Christ's love,
    Flora

    P.S. Thanks for giving Esie two weeks full of wonderful life-changing events.

    What a pretty shawl! We have lots of yarn scraps and maybe I'll try something like that. Those gauntlets are amazing. And what a smart way to avoid the flu!!!

    Essie is a talented photographer!
