Stitching

 After the photo project cleared my work space I got out the diamond squares that a blog reader sent me.  

The diamonds needed to be sewn together with a mattress stitch.   That is a difficult stitch but I finally conquered it... mostly.

It is a lap afghan size.  It is not perfect... it will be donated to one of the stores in town that benefits people...Salvation Army Store most likely or the Dakota Boys and Girls Store.

I began this project before Christmas and then I packed it away now I am pleased to get it off of my to BE finished list!  The pattern is called Tulip Cube Throw.

It was a cold day here, I took Far Guy to his Infusion and waited in the parking lot for him while crocheting and talking to my best friend Susie! 

Supper: Far Guy browned some brats and warmed up some potatoes and corn.  

Minnesota weather: High -12F or -24C  Low was -24F or -31C
