Surprise Mail and Other Homestead Happenings

There is a lot going on this weekend.  One surprise I can't tell you about until tomorrow.

The mail surprise was a blessing. My cousin messaged me that he had his Mom's knitting needles and crochet hooks and wanted to know if I'd like to have them.

I said yes of course.  My Aunt is the Aunt I hand wrote letters to so often, along with "happy boxes."

The surprise was this! I not only received needles and hooks, but yarn, and her notebook with patterns, and this very old pattern book.  What a treasure to have!

I've successfully made another new dishcloth.   What can I say?  It was a rainy day that day.   It may be trivial, but I learned SL with knitting now (purlwise and knitwise).   This dishcloth is knitted on the inside and crocheted on the border.  I just used up some extra "country yellow" I had.  The remaining yarn will be used in the scrap rug.

My nephew turned two, and we are blessed to find out they are expecting again, and this time it is a girl.  I need to get his present delivered sometime soon too.  

I must ska-doodle and get this posted. Have a wonderful Saturday.
