Saturday evening. Lots of my older son's friends are making their way home from college and stopping by to say hello. I love seeing them! They are like my sons! I love having my extended family around! They let me hug them and they talk to me and call me mom.... such sweet boys. And we had a house full of the younger sons friends a few days go. I miss having the house full of kids...so I am making sure to enjoy it while it lasts.
Today I worked some more on my ENVY monster. I finished - completely some hair bands and I began, a few times, making a second fair isle pincushion. I made one a few months ago, and it is tricky to work the pattern correctly, but I keep trying because i love how they turn out. I also get to pick out a great vintage button to put on top when it is done!
Here is a picture of the hair bands. I love, love, love, the way the one with the pink center turned out. I may put that one on etsy.

Here is the beginning work on the pincushion. The wool is by elemental Affects. I used that yarn for a pair of Fair Isle socks. That was a very challenging and satisfying project. If i remember, i will put a picture of those on here. Anyway, it is a wool yarn that is very 'sticky'. it sticks very well to itself. I had a bunch left over and it works well for this pincushion project. Little size one needles. I bought some Addi Turbo double points for this project and the stitches slip so nicely in the rounds with this wool. I will find the pincushion and put a photo of that on too.

Tomorrow is Fathers day and I am not sure what we are doing. My brother in law and his family may be stopping by on their drive home.
Hope all you are well and happy,
Love, Lanie
