Our old house, we're sitting next door
On our way to Sierra Vista, we came through Tucson during the "blizzard." Yes, that is a blizzard for Tucson. I love when it snows heavily, but not for too long. Snow without shoveling is fun.
We came down here for yearly doctor and dentist appointments, and also to get footage to make commercials for clients. Nice to catch up with friends as well.
The first sweater photo is a project that sat around for, I swear, thirty years. I got the front, back, and one sleeve done, then I guess life happened. Fast forward thirty years and I can hardly believe that I brought it with us when we packed up the motorhome. I finished the second sleeve, sewed it together, then realized that I didn't have enough yarn to finish the neck. #&#@*! I managed to find something close and got the thing done.
The second sweater is a really cute pattern from ravelry, Girls Bolero Shrug. I really love the border on the bottom. Not much in the way of yarn choice here in Sierra Vista, so I used stash yarn. I'm nervously wondering if I'm going to have enough to finish this one too. Bummer.
Lexi's painting is finished. I added some sparkley beads just to fill in a little. A vintage paper bird or two would have been cute glued on, but I'm happy with it. Hopefully, I'll get it mailed off to CO tomorrow.
Heading out on the road in the morning to Casa Grande for a night, Blythe for a night, then into Palm Springs for a couple of weeks. Supposed to be in the 90s there. A little warm but I'm not complaining.
Beautiful sweater!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are safely parked for a bit and are able to knit (yes, I know I made that rhyme;)
Have a lovely St. Patrick's Day!
beautiful scenery behind the houses. may I ask, why do you travel so much? business or pleasure? I am jealous!
ReplyDeleteDoreen,
DeleteThe motorhome is where we live now. We stay for free in parks that we're members of. They are scattered all over the U.S. We are fortunate enough to be able to work from the building on wheels while we travel around. I love looking out the window to new scenery every few weeks!
Welcome back to AZ! I was not a fan of the snow we got but at least it has warmed up now.
ReplyDeleteSandy,
DeleteHere comes spring, right? Even the mesquites are thinking about sprouting leaves. Bring it on!
I love the border on that pink sweater too!
ReplyDeleteMe too, Laura. Almost finished with a teeny little bit of yarn left!
DeleteHope you enjoy your new travels. We have 8 inches of snow here at the moment but I would still prefer it to 90 degrees. That's too hot for me.
ReplyDeleteOh, John, it's wonderful, with a little bit of a breeze. Next week I'm traveling to Colorado where there is plenty of snow! BRRRR!
ReplyDeleteI'm just catching up Lisa and am astonished: 30 years since you started and you still have the partially knitted item with you? That must be a record.
ReplyDeleteHa! I'm sure it is the oldest work in progress, and in fact, I have no idea what made me bring it on our adventure!
