What do you do when half way down the leg, you realize the repeat was for 3 rows each time and you only worked it for 2 rows? I will just keep going and will knit the socks correctly the next time. They are still socks which will work just fine in shoes.Last night at dusk, we found we had a dead deer by the driveway. So this morning we made many phone calls while government departments passed the buck and gave us wrong phone numbers. The wildlife people won’t come out unless it was poached. Now how would I know that? Well, they could come inspect and if was an attempted poach, they would take it, but if not, they would leave it. Seemed like a waste of my tax dollars.
We finally had someone tell us that while it is on our property, no one will touch it. Move it off the property and they have to deal with it. So DH took it up to the corner where the school bus turns around and another neighbor reported it. They probably didn’t want school children seeing it as it was removed.
So after a workout, cleaning, and making a meal, there wasn’t a lot of my day left. I started to make this cute little quilt, but stopped when I couldn’t find my roll of double stick stuff that I just purchased. I need it to do eyes, wings, etc. And this is how UFOs happen.
So I moved on and cut out 4 doll raincoats. Once cut out, I should be able to get them all done in the coming week. The plastic is really cute tweety bird fabric that I think was intended for children. I am lining it with solid yellow.
Have a great Saturday and I’ll see you back here Sunday evening.
We did make it to the fair today!. Fairs are so busy and fun that I forget to take photos.
After finishing the last quilt, I’m having a very difficult time, getting in the frame of mind to start another project. I found this lovely wool and angora roving when we were cleaning out the closet, so started spinning it. It feels so soft and yummy. I don’t even remember purchasing it, so it has been here for some time.

Today was spent getting the machine set up and quilting the pink 4H quilt. Everything went fine for the first half of the quilt. Then on the first half of the next row, the machine decided to jump, not once, but 3 times. So I spent 3 hours removing all those stitches and either tomorrow or Sunday, I will tackle the quilting once again. And people have said to me, “you have a computerized machine – that makes it easy as it does it for you.” I just smile while they show how little they know.
