I would have posted this earlier this morning, but I was having computer problems. My virus protection software disappeared. I spent all morning figuring out what happened to it. Apparently, a virus got on my computer that was blocking the virus protection program. Thankfully the company that makes my virus program had a little program I could download and run that fixed the problem, but it took me a long time to figure out that was my solution. Sheesh! Time flies when you're busy. Here's an update of the current WIPS. In knitting, I've finished knitting all the cardigan pieces. It's time to sew them all together. (The cat ears are Merino laying in the window bed soaking up sunshine.) I tried sewing the first sleeve on yesterday, but I was not feeling well which made everything I tried to do end in disaster, so I put it away for the day. Cross stitching went much better. On the Mini Star Trek I've finished 4 more characters since I last posted about it. All of Mudd&

I spent the weekend working on my Etsy shop , amongst other things. I finished up the following two outfits to fit Iplehouse JID dolls, photographed them, and entered them in the shop. I sure hope they sell. Sierra is modeling them. I think she looks very elegant. I plan to make some jewelry and hats to go with a few of the doll dresses I made last year (Or was it the year before?) and getting the dresses up on Etsy before the end of the month. Hopefully, I will start generating some sales. I kind of loathe knitting doll hats, but I feel the need to have them. The weather warmed up over the weekend and today was glorious. I actually sat out on the deck and read a novel in the sunshine for awhile. It was so nice after the last 2 weeks of snow and cold. The sun was warm, and the air smelled nice. I think spring is finally coming. I was surrounded by piles of snow, but the sun was so warm it didn't matter. The snow is melting like crazy. I gave the scarf to Jim yesterday and he loves

I have finished the man's scarf I've been working on. Pattern :  Simple Striped Scarf by Rosemary Drysdale Size : 60 inches Yarn : Universal Yarns Bamboo Pop Content : 50% Bamboo, 50% Cotton, Sport weight Colors : 112 Black, 120 Graphite Needles : Circular size 5 Started : Februaru 25, 2018 Finished : March 8, 2018 Comments : This scarf turned out magnificent. I love it! It is in a book written by Rosemary Drysdale titled  Seed Stitch: Beyond Knit 1, Purl 1 . I made the scarf 6 inches wide rather than 8. I like it a little thinner. The pattern is super simple and easy to memorize, so it's great for portable knitting. The yarn is very soft to the touch. It should feel good around the neck. I'll be giving it to the recipient Sunday, I hope. Following are artsy fartsy pics of this lovely scarf. Live long and prosper. \\//
