Finished my shawl!

Here is little ole me and my shawl that I finally finished. I really like how it came out so nice and long. I crocheted a couple ties a little way down from the neckline so I don't need hands to keep it where I want it.


  And I am back to crocheting on my Variable Star quilt.  It was meant to be an Ohio Star quilt but I goofed up but it is still lovely I think.

The church we attend sent this lovely Easter Lilly for Jack yesterday. They are so loving and thoughtful.


Jack had a doctor appointment today and he sent Jack for x rays of both knees. He is worried that Jack's arthritis is causing the issue and that will mean weight loss and a knee replacement if that is the case. Jack is still on crutches and strong pain meds and now has to get support hose. Also he is not to stand in one spot for a long time once he is off the crutches. He is either to be walking or sitting and when enjoying t.v. in the evening he is to be stretched out on the sofa. So that is it for me for now. God bless and huggles.

Hi Michelle,
Oooh, I think I crocheted one of those shawls! Was it a Lion Brand pattern? I can't think of the name of it right now, but the pattern looks familiar. Yours came out very pretty. Love the size where it comes down to. Beautiful star quilt, too. Nice to meet you!
Blessings,
Lisa
