Just Beachy


Best way to start off the New Year?  Why a beach walk of course.  This morning it was high tide and very low surf.  The Pacific looked more like a lake than an ocean.
But isn’t that the way of nature?  Ever changing and always surprising us mere mortals.  I wore the newly completed mitts to keep my hands warm and toasty.
They work perfectly as my fingers are free to operate and focus my camera.
I felt very special wearing something I made just for me.  Now, what projects will I tackle this year?  First of all, I’d like to get all the UFO’s under construction finished so I’ll need to round them up and review the situation.
New Knitting; Adult size sweater. Crochet; Baby granny square blanket. So off I go to look thru my pattern books in search of the next project.  What is on your needles and/or hook?

  2. Love the pics, and your warmers, always a great feeling to know it is hand made by you.
    On my hooks at the moment is a doily, a pattern from the book Crochet Monthly #8 Chantilly..and on another hook, a baby rug, I think it is called Star:))
    Looking forward to your projects this year and pics.. :))
