There is an advantage to being home sick (horrible allergies) in bed - endless hour of crocheting and knitting.
I don't know how my youngest daughter sweet talked me into knitting her a scarf, but she did. This scarf has doubled it's length since I took the photo. The first trial scarf, I did in scrap brown yarn, was taken apart and put away for another project. I have to say that this one is turning out better and with a prettier yarn.
Now....if I could just finished the crocheted blankets, the hand towel, and ..... and .... and ....
It's all good!

100 Things to Do ~ Summer List ~ Star Gazing and More
Blogger is experiencing problems, so I am not able to load any photos right now (and this is happening to many other people right now too).
We decided to blow the dust off of our telescope, drop in a brand new battery, and read over the manual again. It's a bit cloudy today, so we may not get to star gaze tonight, but hopefully soon.
Star gazing is on my "100 things to do this summer" list. We've participated in many star gazing nights, and have visited many planetariums in our lifetime. I've checked out a field guide, from the library, relating to the stars also.
It's crochet mania day here also. I've had 2 blankets (one is a throw), on my "to-do" list for a few weeks. I can easily get sucked into new projects, and forget the ones I started.
I have also crocheted wagon wheel coasters for July 4th, in red, white and blue. Look for photos soon, at my on-line store: Pioneer Patchwork Homespun
When blogger gets the "bugs" out of their system, I will try to load photos of the two blankets, our star gazing night, and more.
Update: as you can see, I am now able to load the photos. :) Yea!

Update:
Added about 4 inches to blanket #1
Added about 4 inches to blanket #1
Added 4 rows to blanket #2 (much larger)
