Textured Cowl-Plymouth Yarns


Ready for this????? This took me 2 days. I started it on Sat and finished it yesterday.
This pattern was my worst nightmare!!! The pattern is from Plymouth Yarns. It's called "Baby Alpaca Grande Hand Dyed Textured Cowl.
It calls for 3 hanks of the yarn. All you need is two, because all they did on their pattern was add one row of a solid color at the end. Can't see wasting $14.99 for just one row!!!
I was going to throw it in the trash, I was so upset with it. I started out wanting to to the print for the middle and the solid Plum color for the 2 x 2 ribbings. Well, the problem was there is too much Blue in the print, for me. So, I decided to do stripes. I don't know if I like it or not. it's probably another finished project for the storage "BOX".

I absolutely love this pattern and the yarn I used.  Yarn is called Seascape.  It's a hand-dyed yarn by  https://www.etsy.com/shop/DellasCrochetCottage/sold?page=3&ltid=1024812941 She can also be found on Facebook.  She has her own group named The Cottage.  Some of her yarns are one of a kind, sometimes you have to pre-order, too.  She doesn't have all the yarns she dyes in her Etsy shop .  She posts pictures of her yarns on her group or, she can also be found on the group Knitting 3.  Her name is Adella Colvin and she is a very nice person. Pattern costs $5.76 USD. http://www.ravelry.com/projects/InLuvWithYarn/red-robin-shawl

When it rains, it pours!!

April has not been a good month, to us.   Soon after I got out of the hospital on April 15th, the following Thursday, my Daughter was rushed to the hospital.  She had a heart attack at 41 y.o.  Surgeon put in a Stent.  She had a blockage in an artery.  She did get out the next day.   When she was 36 y.o. she had a stroke.  She still has trouble talking.  Monday, my Husband went in for another knee replacement operation.  I took him home today.  He's doing quite well.
