Yesterday I completed the latest in my stashbusting scarves. It's kind of sad that my lastthreeFOs have been furry scarves. At least this one is not quite as furry.
It occurred me that I should try something more creative with my novelty yarn. I probably will eventually. For now, its good to have easy knits for occasions like watching fireworks on Independence Day.
I spent Independence Day with my family and Aaron's (my sister's boyfriend) family. There was brisket, coleslaw, baked beans, potato salad, peach cobbler, a lizard riding a car...
Seriously.
Aaron's enterprising little brothers made this car from an erector set. Spiny, the Bearded Dragon, doesn't seem to mind the ride too much. He's very mellow. (I tried to take a video of it, but it didn't come out.)
Spiny had a hard childhood. He was the runt of the litter, and he lost one of his hands early on. He grew up to be very mellow and sweet.
I saw a couple of these crocheted potholders on the table. When I got out my camera, they got out the whole collection. I'm sure grandma is proud that they are getting used.
I also saw a scrubbie, crocheted out of netting.
After we ate, we saw fireworks. I did the best I did to preserve them in another 15-second masterpiece. We went to St. Edwards, so we weren't right at the action, but the view was better than the video lets on.
