The new normal .... for other's anyway! lol

My friend Cheryl sent me this. It is so me! lol

What made me laugh was my favourite brother's reply to my post!

In these insane times .... laughter/humour is a must!

Stay safe and healthy every one ... both physically and emotionally/psychologically! People are doing some crazy stuff!

Hugs to you!

Happy St Patrick's day!

Top of the morning to you! Hope you are enjoying a fabulous day!

Finished this little quilt ... a project from my last wool box with Primitive Gatherings. The pattern is called Irish Chain by Lisa Bongean

The instructions called for hand embroidering the shamrock ... but I went with hand dyed wool. They were tiny pieces ... so tiny that it was best I hand embroidered the stem. 

I love how it turned out. Glad to finally have a piece for St Patrick's day. 

What have you been up to?

Catch you all later.  Cheers!

Stop the world, I want to get off ....!

Can someone explain to me what is going on?

On my way back from Albany, I stopped in Plattsburgh to do my weekly grocery shopping and was puzzled to see such a packed parking lot .... unusual for a Monday!

Once inside I was greeted by an empty vegetable section ..... WTF! Not a potato to be had anywhere!

Ok onward to pick up some milk and ..... meat counter bare except for hot sausages!

Not only that but the canned vegetable & legume section were bare and so was the canned broth section ... the frozen vegetable section ... totally empty!

and not a paper product to be had anywhere ...

My experience at Hannafords scared me to death ...

People's carts were filled, over flowing with stuff ...  some had two carts filled .... there was enough food for six (6) months if not more in there!!!! And here I was with my little cart barely filled .... couldn't even get a gallon of organic 1% milk! All out of stock!

Strangely, the beer section was not empty ..... Now that's totally weird!

I'll tell you ... I am more scared of people's present behavior than I am of the virus. Wow!

Stay healthy everyone .... physically and especially emotionally/psychologically!

Cheers!

A first pair knitted ...!

Just completed my first pair of mittens .... The pattern is called Bromont Mitts by Dianna Walla for Espace Tricot

It was easier than I thought. I was a bit worried about the thumb ... but it's a thumbs up! Corny ... I know ... lol

Just love how they turned out! They are so comfy on my hands. I think I'm addicted! lol

Something new .... !

I started a new knitting project .... No Frills Sweater by PetiteKnit.

I'm stuck at the moment. I cannot seem to figure out the instructions. I have read the pattern both in English and in French .... and I'm still lost! This is a raglan construction with German short rows in the round. I'm sure I'll figure it out soon enough.

Until then ... this is what the sweater is "suppose" to look like.

(Picture taken from Ravelry).

I'm using Julie Asselin - Leizu Dk yarn which is 90% SW Merino and 10% Silk. It is so soft to the touch. The pattern called for two (2) mohair type yarn ... I just thought I'd be different! ;)

You can find the pattern on Ravelry here. Great knitting site!

Thanks for stopping by! Catch you all later!
