Knitting, Feathers and Fans

My sisters and I have formed a group we are calling 3 Busy Sisters. We plan to do craft shows together and all 3 of us are starting to get things made to make this possible. So far I have tagged and ready to go dishcloths, hot pads, market shopping bags, headbands and some prequilted baby blanket panels that I put a crocheted trim on. 

Next up to prepare to be shown off and sold are some baby/toddler afghans. I have 6 done in red, teal, 2 yellow and one pink and yarn ready for 2 more in white and gray.

The most recent finish is the pink one in a very traditional pattern of feathers and fans. I am pleased with how they all turned out. Now I just have to spend some time taking care of the dreaded ends needing woven in.

Back with more again soon.

Take care and stay cozy!

Scotland, Kilts and Pants

Jim and I took a tour of Scotland recently. It was one of the best trips of my life. Bagpipes, castles, haggis (which I discovered I like), men in kilts, the best tour guide, breathtaking landscapes, great companions in our group and more, so very much more. 

The best laugh on the trip and I hope I can make you smile if I tell it right. It starts with a beautiful soul who was our bus or coach as it seemed to be called in Scotland, driver. He went a long way to add joy to our trip. The first few days he wore a different kilt each day and looked very handsome in them. We all were looking forward to seeing what he wore each morning when we met the coach to start our days excursions. On our last day with this driver, he wore pants instead. One of the lovely ladies in our group came out of the hotel saw the day's outfit and said, "JP, I didn't recognize you with your pants on!" The laughter among us set the mood for the rest of the day. 

Gonna load this up with some pictures now. Glimpses of what we saw over the trip in no particular order.

Back with more again soon.
