Holy Hail Storm!

Saw these clouds on the way home.

In the second picture, you can see something coming out of the bottom of the big dark massive cloud. The whole way home, it would drop that little circular moving thing down, then suck it back up and then drop back down, just to suck it back up again! That was a big scary to witness!!!

And got home, just in time!!! You can hardly see the trees in the far background, the hail's so heavy.

And all that hail chilled the air on the ground which created a cool foggy effect! That's a shot of the edge of the swamp...

On The Way Home

We saw rainbows at just about every turn!

Rainbows always remind me of one simple bit of advice... Never dwell, just appreciate things, love often and never take for granted the small or great.

Baby Booties

This pattern is based on the Simply Blue pattern from the book, "Twenty to Make" by Val Pierce.

In the book, Val Pierce has the reader knit the "bootees" on straight needles and sew the seam up when it's done. Loved the pattern but I am a “no seam” kind of gal. So, I revised it to work on circular needles, casting on with the Magic Cast On method.

I also decided not to do the garter stitch across the toe. I like the look of the stockinette stitch…

I like scanning the pattern and printing out a copy. That way I can take notes and not worry about marking up a nice book!
