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

Four Months in 2016

This is April. It hasn't been a pleasant month.  I was in the hospital for 10 days, which seemed like a year. I went in with severe stomach pains.  I've had this condition for over a year, but, the tests the GI Dr. did, had not shown anything.  This time, when I went to the ER, I was bloated quite a bit.  I felt like I was having sextuplets!!!! In the ER, the nurse hooked  me up to the machine that shows heart rate, BP & oxygen level.  Well, I knew I had a heart problem, but the Dr.'s never caught the fibrillation, until that morning.  The heart rate was all over the place.  The nurse asked me if I was ever diagnosed with an irregular heart beat.  I said no, but, I knew something was wrong since my 50's. I wore a heart monitor until the day before I was discharged. Now, I know for sure.  I'm on Zaralto ( I can be just like Arnold Palmer, when I grow up!!!) and a heart rate pill.  Life is GRAND!!!!!
