The double stranded nests are getting harder on my bad thumb so this is the last shipment for a bit. They have to be crocheted tightly. Never fear I have plenty of other charity projects to work on.
I created my own wasp nest crochet pattern. The pattern on the Internet was really large. I started at the bottom with a magic circle and worked my way up adding stitches when ever I felt like it. As you can see I am incapable of doing two nests exactly alike. I had no beige yarn so I chose this dirty green color from my stash.
They are filled with plastic grocery bags.
I used Mod Podge to help protect them a bit...I figured that way they will last two years instead of just one.
I hung them over the sink to dry...anchored by drinking glasses and a Loon.
We will hang them up and see what happens. One is going out at the Sauna and the other under the back deck (the scene of last years painful encounter.)
We had an exciting Monday...Far Guy tried to cut his finger off and I tried to faint. I am absolutely worthless when he is bleeding and in pain...being an former EMT I am not bothered by anyone else bleeding or with gaping wounds...just my husband. He thought he might need stitches...instead we used steri strips to seal it up.
I am not feeling much better after the Shingrix Shot last Friday...one day at a time...I had another four hour nap.
