Not much knitting progress has been made on my Eavesdrop I am about 20 rows from the “suggested sleeve divide” but I am off on row gauge, so I will measure then to see how many more rows I will need to do. However, Sherman’s surgery was successful! Now we just wait for the biopsy results, but the vet was most hopeful and so are we! Thank you all for your thoughts for Sherman! He is most appreciative and so are we!
Friday’s that begin a long weekend are even sweeter, aren’t they? We got most of our garden in yesterday while Sherman was gone, and I just have a few pots to finish today.
Outside of that, we have no major plans for the weekend at all and that feels just perfect!
Now, how about some links!
First up, the knitters are in solidarity with Flint, Michigan. There is an amazing 11-year-old girl who is making things happen in her community and Thea Coleman noticed and Water is her latest “take a stand” pattern. 100% of the proceeds are being donated to her GoFundMe campaign ($3k as of this typing!) So, if you do nothing else this weekend, buy this hat pattern and support a very good cause!
Alicia Plummer also has a pattern that is supporting Flint with 10% of the proceeds from the sales of Real Life
These bird socks are just too cool!
The Seven Sisters is my favorite from the By Hand: Making Communities book.
Churchmouse Yarns Chevron Lace Scarf is FREE!
Blacker Yarns Trym Vest is also free and has a multitude of possibilities!
I love a yoked sweater, and Hap Yoke is different and so beautiful!
Laine Magazine, Issue 5 is now out and there are several gorgeous patterns in it!
That’s all I have for this week! Have an awesome weekend and I will be back with a short post on Monday!
P.S. Summer Book Bingo begins TOMORROW!! There is still time to join in the fun!
I love a Friday before a long weekend — especially when the office closes early (I’m out at 3 today)! Hope you have a relaxing long weekend, and I’m glad to hear that Sherman is doing well!
Sending good thoughts for Sherman’s continued recovery. And yes to Book Bingo and a long weekend!
Fabulous! Have a great weekend, Kat!
I’m glad to hear about your garden, Sherman, and your lovely, long, Time-for-lots-of good-stuff weekend! Those bird socks are amazing, and even though most are my socks are plain vanilla, I may have to give these some serious consideration. Thanks!
Also, is that bee balm? I’ve got some with red flowers, but yours is beautiful!
Fun links!
I think I’m going to splurge on this issue of Laine. It does have gorgeous patterns!
So glad to hear that Sherman is doing fine … and sending my prayers now for good biopsy results. I’ve been thinking about that issue of Laine, mainly for Marie Greene’s dress (would I/should I knit a dress? ;-))
YAY for the long weekend … and finally finishing a couple of books 🙂
Hope you are enjoying this weekend …we’ve been listening to jazz vocal hits all afternoon…sooo relaxing. I “finished”my first -hopefully, not last book today! Only 23 to go, +/-.
Good to hear that Sherman is recovering just swell.
Cheers~
Hope you’re enjoying the long weekend!
I’m just now on board so is Sherman a feline or canine? So glad he’s OK now. I’m a cat rescuer and foster but have helped a few puppy dogs along the way lol.
