A Good Day in the Neighborhood!

I love it!  Hand knit from the Caron Top Down Knit Pullover from the Yarnspirations site. 
 Worsted yarn is Colormist from KnitPicks.
  I wanted this to have a bit of red in the yoke, too,  but they were out of that yarn! 
 I settled for yellow and the grey yarn leftover from the sweater I made from this pattern last month.
  It matches the skirt  I had in mind for this sweater exactly, I'm glad to say!  
I spent the day yesterday making the covers for these cotton pads 
that came with Bill's antibiotics last year, they insulated the box it came in. 
 I didn't want to waste all of that cotton so saved them!
But now I am very ready for the huge pile to be gone 
so I am finishing them up-almost did it but will finish it today! 
 Then they go to the shelter just a mile from us!
  See how thick (1 1/2") the pads are?! 
 Nice and dense so it will be very comfortable for the animals.  
I also pulled out the 'quilt group' pillowcases we filled with scraps; 
 I will finish filling up the open one 
and then stitch it up so it can go with the other cushions to the shelter. 
 It was a good day in the Studio!
 
Name this watercolor!
I am going to be doing a series where I take one of your posted photos 
and turn it into a watercolor!
  Have fun guessing; 
 I will post the answer in tomorrow's post.

    Love the idea of using blog inspiration for your watercolours! Can't wait to see more!
