To finish January one row of white because we actually got snow this morning ! I measure the temperature every morning and crochet one row according to my color plan.
and as my Sky scarf grows we can see one day of rain on the bottom where I used the clear beads and three days of snow which the last one was this morning. I can`t wait and see what next month will bring. As of today I have used 3shades of gray, 2 shades of blue ,white for clouds and off cream colored mohair for snow .

Another finished project !
I had joined a FB online group to make little dolls for children in a cancer clinic and a group home for mentally and physically handicapped children . I decide to make a pair and named them Haensel and Gretel !
I used the same yarn to embroider the face

just to much fun to make them now it`s time to mail them to Germany to put a smile on a child`s face !

Anything Goes Block for Nicki Lee
Monday, January 13, 2014
Embroidery
This is the block I received before Christmas and it had been a work in progress till I received these little hand crochet flowers. They were made by a old German lady that had just passed away . She was in her late 80`s and I`m not sure when she had worked on them.
I loved the block made by Nicki Lee but was surprised to see how little was done to it by the last two members that worked on it.
these are the flowers I got from Miss Ruth in Georgia after she passed away
and here you can see how I added them to enhance ( cover) a seam treatment done by one of the stitchers before me .

Updates on my sky scarf and Granny Squares
So far the Sky scarf is coming along nicely, I am still waiting on two more colors of yarn to come. I knit two rows per day according to the color of the sky.
For the German Group I signed up for we are making a weather blanket. One of the members is terminally ill and might not get to finish her blanket, so we as the group make each one Granny Square to make a blanket for her which will be for one of her daughters. I decided to mail out the Kansas Sunflower with the guardian Angel Charm !
Ja, this is a very catchy thing made a few more squares and I know there are more to come !

So I decided to start a new shawl. Looking at all the easy patterns I could find and ended up with Antonia by Birgit Freyer. Pattern as always at her shop in several languages.
