Sunday Crochet

Sunday crochet is always the best.  Just working on whatever, trying out new stitches.  One being, broomstick lace.  I've been wanting to try for a while now and that light weight colourful yarn I thought would be perfect.  Well, maybe perfect in the light weightness of a finished product as it would be nice to wear.  But, not perfect in working with it and the small hook besides the large knitting needle.  Having big hands does not help this. Anyway, after watching a You Tube tutorial on the stitch, this is my two rows of Brookstick Lace.

I also made a nice flower granny square. It was fairly easy to make but I think I should of used a brighter yellow yarn for the center.

Then Saturday, we went to the Bicentennial of 1812 event that I had won the tickets to the concert.  We went during the day to see some of the re-enactments etc.  And then went back later that night for the concert performance.

Weekend fun

Hello all!  This past weekend I managed to go back to a started project, thanks to the 100 Deg weather.  I had started this Granny Messenger Bag.  Well bag is now finished and am working on the strap.  Then I will line it and add a flower or something. 

I also stopped to smell the tea.  LOL Using here this very hand tea thing.  You put your tea leaves in it, it acts like your spoon and even has a plunger on the end that squeezes the leaves.

We went to a nearby festival this weekend, on the Sunday when the weather was more bearable.  Called Sunfest.  There's many stages around the park with different cultural music performed, this one was more popular as it seem to have the more lively music and the beer garden.  As well, all different kinds of crafty items and things in vendor booths. 

And my fave the owlies!!!
