Slow Bee Mystery



Slow Bee Starts soon
.
First clues come May11. If you want to join this KAL -you need to do it now as Moni is closing membership .

My Forest Canopy is almost done.The stitch count for the border is way off but I am continuing anyway. Not a good week here for concentrating on lace but next week should be better.


Ravelry lists the pattern called River Stole as free but the link does not work. Jolynn suggested this for a bride and it looks absolutely perfect. Now- if only I can find the pattern .

*******Thanks to Beth via Ravelry who sent me this link to the River Stole/Wrap

knitting on hold

Not much knitting done this past 4 days as my mother is moving . It has been extremely emotionally and physically draining plus time consuming. Packing her up and getting everything in a new spot has not been easy. Coordinating cable,phone ,newspaper and electric have been a nightmare. I waited for the cable guy 4 hours Sat but when he shows up at last minute he decides he needs to come back again today instead so another 12- 4 waiting for them to show up. Quess where I will be all week? My car is still full and the old apartment needs cleaning and stuff in closests removed. Please let my mother be happy after all of this.
So I tried doing one row of lace last night when I got home. The stitch count was way off. So I had to just put it on hold till I calm down.

DH is in Costa Rica. I hope he is having a good time but iI miss him helping me.
