I played yarn chicken one day in early June (before I had surgery).
That is the remnant of yarn after I finished a row...it was close.
This is one of the shawls that I like doing and have been using up yarn in my stash....
Here is that same piece...I wash it and rinse it gently and then pin it to my foam boards to dry.
After it is dry I take a photo of it and put it away in a drawer.
It is a quite large lacy shawl that can be worn many ways.
Back in May I started this one in off white. I have not touched it since I put it in its project bag with a hook and the pattern.
Monday was a quiet day, I was tired, Far Guy was nauseated most of the day. I warmed up freezer meals for supper. My baby brothers bride brought us some green beans the other day. They sure were good with a bit of butter!
Minnesota weather: High of 79F or 27C our low was 68F or 20C eh!
One day at a time!

Beautiful shawls. I made the kids some, but they never wore them. What yarn do you use? Hook size? Is the pattern online? Just in case I need a "palate cleanser" project ha ha! Hope you both feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteAny lace weight yarn, I use Cascade Yarn but it has been discontinued. Size 4 crochet hook. I have had the pattern for years not sure where I got it from:)
DeleteI never thought about being able to wash such creations. I still have a throw blanket my great grandmother knitted me as a baby that I'm sure would probably benefit from a gentle washing. I don't have the foam boards or the pins to hold it in place though.
ReplyDeleteYou can use bath towels on the floor and stretch out the blanket to dry.
DeleteI love the lacy look of your shawl. I haven't crocheted or knitted in years - maybe I'll have to get back to it.
ReplyDeleteUffdah. We are going to go into some very warm and humid times again. Yuck. Then more bad thunderstorms.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good week not to do outdoor work! Gosh when summer is as bad as wicked cold winter days.
I sure hope FG feels better. Nausea is no fun.
Your projects look amazing.
Such pretty shawls!
ReplyDeleteOne day at time is right. Thinking of you and Far Guy.
Praying for better days soon for both of you. Beautiful shawl - you are so talented!
ReplyDeleteMy first impression was that you had made a bed cover that I found lovely. Then I read further! The shawl is pretty. Get it out of the drawer this winter.
ReplyDeleteLucky you on the temp. We’re at near 100 daily. The shawl is exquisite. Wonder if the patterns difficult. If I could find the patt I might give it a go.
ReplyDeletePoor FG. He’s in misery. So you are in there too. 🫶🏻
Gorgeous shawl - nice job! Praying today is a better day for FarGuy.
ReplyDeleteThat cream colored shawl will be beautiful, too. Goodness! That lacy crochet work looks so delicate! Hope you both feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite way to eat fresh green beans is to saute them in olive oil and when they are done add soy sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds. YUM!!! Enjoy your day, ask the doctors for something to ease the nausea, they do have meds that can help. Such a tough thing to have to go through. Hugs, Kara
ReplyDeleteOne day at a time is right! I love the shawl...I did a knitted shawl that looks similar to that years ago. Such a beautiful blue...I like the off white one too. Nausea is the worst. I hope you both fee better soon.
ReplyDeleteThe shawl is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat shawl is gorgeous and the off white one will be a delicate beauty. Kristina,(Pioneer Woman), beat me to the question of the pattern. Bummer. I would love to make those for the hospital oncology center. Oh, well. I'll keep looking for one I like.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that you're still so tired and Far Guy is so sick. It can be discouraging, I know. Remember you both have lots of people who love you, even people like me that you've never met. We're praying for you both. One day at a time is a great mantra.
Blessings,
Betsy
Such a beautiful shawl. The open lacy look makes it very elegant, and that blue is gorgeous! The size of it really allows for different ways to wear it. Great job!! The off-white one will be just as pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe shawl is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteNothing better than home cooked green beans. Lovely shawl!
ReplyDeletePretty shawl, looks fancy! You make it look easy.
ReplyDeleteI am assuming Far Guy has been given prescription anti-nausea drugs. I have used several different ones since my blood cancer diagnosis. The chemo nurse who hooks me up to my treatments told me there is a shot available also. I have not tried it. According to the nurse all the anti-nausea drugs can cause constipation.
ReplyDeleteYes he has prescription meds for Nausea.
Deletesuch beautiful work on the shawls. gosh .. I wish I lived near by so you could teach me…. lol. I am so sorry that FG is having such a difficult time with the meds… big prayers for him
ReplyDeleteThe blue shawl is just lovely - just lovely. I do hope the Far Guy feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteAfter searching your blog, I believe you posted the shawl pattern on March 23, 2020 https://www.anniedesigncrochet.com/
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy, the pattern I used was Tendril from anniedesigncrochet
DeleteI tried so hard yesterday to make this shawl. I ripped it apart I don't know how many times! Guess I'll try another day. It's such a beautiful pattern. Your shawls turned out very pretty.
DeleteKathy, Once you get the first few rows done then it is just a repeat! You can do it!
DeleteWhat a beautiful shawl, Connie. I love the color...such a beautiful shade of blue. I'll be those green beans were deeee-licious! Is FG taking something for his nausea? There are so many medications to combat it for chemo patients. I'm still praying. Love, Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty, Connie! You are a true artist!
