D4P's FLIMSIES,et al

 

My first orange D4P in its

"raw" untrimmed stage...

I am trying to "use up" 

loved fabrics--I had no idea how to 

use this cutlery fabric--

And

I have enough to back 

this one, too.

😆

Her is the second Green 

"raw" flimsie

I love how this came out, too...

Also enough to back this

after it is trimmed.  

"Use it up" June is here...

***********************

Our early morning coffee was

sitting out on our deck today..

and

I worked two more rows

on my Granny Stripe Afghan--

it is coming along...

Just a teeney bit on the chilly side,

so this was perfect for a little cover-up

while I crocheted ;)))

**************************

Tonight we will be having Corned Beef

(crockpot cooking--yes!!)

and simple boiled potatoes 

with sliced veggies...

Y  U  M  !!!

[I am also looking forward to

sold leftover corned beef

sandwiches on rye 

with tangy mustard--

Oooh yes!!]

******************************

Tonight is the preview of

the Spanish Grand Prix 

Formula One Race 

[F1]

And Tom's beloved 

"This Old House"

series...so tv shows

all set for us...

GRANNY STRIPE AFGHAN PROJECT

I've begun crocheting a 

"Granny Stripe" afghan...

Using up all my leftover yarn from

my knitting days...

[It is interesting to note that in crochet

I hold the hook in the right hand and

the yarn in the left--

opposite of how I knit...

This has taken a bit of getting used to ;)))]

These are the colorways I am using...

all the yarns are from "Miss Babs" 

online shop...

such lovely yarns...

I have 3 big cakes (they will wind for you)

like this one:

It is called "Yowza" for a reason

hahaha;)))

I made a granny square afghan years ago

but this is slightly different:

{I saw this on Attic 24, Knitting Natty on YT

and various other YT videos...}

TO START--

I chained 199+3--

(phew!! that was quite 

a counting feat!)

at the start

 so this will be a 

big long afghan...

I've wanted to practice 

double crochet and this really

utilizes that stitch all throughout...

Most mornings I have my coffee, read

my blog comments and answer them; then

I crochet one l  o  n  g

row....it is very calming...

I figure this will take me at least one year

to finish....meanwhile, it has already

begun to warm my lap as I go ;)))

*****************************

Sunday's supper tonight

is an easy-peasy one:

[We have always called it a

"supper" on Sundays

rather than "dinner" for

some reason].

Tuna salad sandwiches on

toasted bakery rye bread with

lettuce along with

french fries and pickled beets.

Yummy-ness...😁😏

Note:

I use a pinch of dried mustard

and one of ginger to spice up

my tuna a bit-- along with:

a sprinkle of

chives, tarragon, basil

and dried onion flakes mixed

in my mayo...

What spices do you use in your

tuna salad?

I hope your Sunday is a restful

day for you...

Hugs, Julierose,
