This has been the rainiest summer in a long time.
School will start soon, so we’re in the last days of summer vacation, riding it out.
It’s a good time to take stock of our creations-in-progress and tie up loose ends.
Tricia finished a giant doily. Just typing the word “doily” seems other-worldly! In looking up the definition, I never realized there are so many colloquial meanings for the word. Just go with the Wikipedia version: an ornamental mat.
Tricia’s doily
What an amazing work of crochet! Tricia’s next project was a crocheted cowl in lavender.

Ethel’s wrap
Here’s Ethel with her current work-in-progress. Meanwhile, Rachel is interested in working on homemade Christmas gifts.
Rachel pondering the pattern for a present and, apparently, rolling her eyes…. 🙂
In Rachel’s master plan…
Ethel’s doll wedding dress (sewn, not knit)
Ethel started on a purple project next
sparkly shoes
Lois resumed work on a yellow panel
and my citrus shawl is a little farther along
So this is how we’ve been spending our rainy days, in addition to viewing buffoonery from Presidential candidates (although we didn’t talk about that). Hope to show some finished projects some day…

“Oh, them golden slippers . . . ” Great to be back home and joining with my good friends for a bit of knit and natter.
