Mornin ya'll,

I'm done with the back and workin on me sweater fronts. The count jes don't work quite right. tryin to figee out a wah for the sides to match the back where the diamonds join. any idees?

I've made her a bit shorter than the pattern, thought a short sweater with a bit o' a side slit on the bottoms and hope to make button holes would gussy it up a bit.

I'm plum tuckered out today. Spent the first two days of me vacation cleaning house. Scrubbed out son's room now that he's off to Unyversity. Gee Whiz, I thought he was doin good at keepin his room clean. Stuff was a growin under his bed, dresser, and computer table. And don ask me aboutin that thar closet!!! EEEKKK! Where's me six gun!!!!

Crazy Horse - Those blues shore like fine!

 

Squanto - Those colors are mighty perdy. Downright strikin'. I think the turqua looks particular nice against the dark brown.

 

Cat - I ain't never been no good at wearables m'self so I can't offer no help there, but it shore sounds like you're making good progress.

 

Didn't do a single row on m' blanket yesterday. I was hurtin' mighty bad from sunup to sundown. I'm shore glad that day is over. Gonna try to make up some rows today.

Well, I got me 13 more rows done on that there pilla fer my man. I need ta finish that up and git on mah quiltin' project. But then mah hubby, Big Daddy fer those of you that don't know him, wants us to redo the parlor in the bunkhouse using this here pattern as pillows, throws and a rug! Why I think that's a right nice idear but I got them holidays and our niece is gonna drop her first young un' in about 20 weeks. The cowgirl's got a lot of her plate :lol

 

Well, off to rassle with that pilla. Hopefully it'll git finished up today. Was supossed to run to the Pony Express office today but danged if it ain't too hot out thar already. Maybe tomorry would be alright :yes

Well I too had to frog some! I had to frog 6 rows but luckily it was just a little over half way back so I didn't frog the whole line just each row to the point of the mistake and reworked it. That is a nice thing about this pattern. :yes So I ended up doing 20 rows on it today but could have maybe done 30 if I hadn't had to go back :(

By golly!!! Wish'n I had thought of that. You sher are a clever one! Had me counts messed up somewhere on the front of the sweater and jest decided to decrease in one spot and increase in anotha ratha than rip out so many rows. On to sleeves now.

Cat :eek

Cara, uhhh I mean Sitting Bull... I think it looks great! The colors are wonderful and the stitches look fantastic! The bumpy stuffing is not a reflection on your ability, just hubby's preferences...LOL!
