I was in the yard and didn't hear the hawk, was only alerted when I heard the two adult robins squawking and chasing it. I know hawks have to eat, but I'd much prefer they stick to mice and other rodent-like things.<br /><br />Son and girlfriend look very happy. I like the yarn colors very much. I bet it's going to turn out wonderfully (as all your crochet does).Sweet Posy Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915541210527642552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-81318598387646150962015-05-25T13:09:00.251-04:002015-05-25T13:09:00.251-04:00With the mixtures of colors in your crochet vest b...With the mixtures of colors in your crochet vest by Vicki Chane is marvelous!!

In case you have not realized, let me be the bearer of good new....its almost the end of the work week! Yay! I am seeing this post late. On another note I just love all the things you make. You are such a talented knitter. I am working on knitted socks and cast on a knitted shawl. Both new methods of knitting I have not done before. I admire skillful knitters like you and I am hoping to make a cardigan soon for myself. <br /><br />I hope you get some time off this weekend for yourself.

I seem to be spreading myself thinner and thinner (wish I looked thinner and thinner!)the older I get when, in theory, these are meant to be my 'golden' years! Imagine me, a Golden Girl, I wonder which one I would be, not the tall, lanky one that's for sure!Glad you're all on the mend from that 'lurgy', which seems to have had a very long tail this year. Our littlest girl-baby has just had it too and I must say, it made her very miserable when I was looking after her last Wednesday. Hopefully, this week will be a lot better.
