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.
