Pink Green Wool Tie Wrap

I beta tested a knit wool tie wrap for PinkGreen . I made a large, but I think I should have made a medium instead! It is simple to work and easy to get a nice tight fit.




It is 19.5" long and 20" wide.

















Since this is the type of shot I get when I try to take standing up shots, I had to lay Will down!

Little Fire Longies

I finished the Little Fire Longies that I was beta testing. They worked up nice, but I had to make the gusset narrower than the pattern called for in order to get the right number of stitches for each leg. I made them with Patons Classic Merino.

Side view on William


I like how there is more room for his diapered butt!













The only way I could get a front view was to lay William down because he kept walking toward me!



















Aren't I cute in my camo pants??

"Heart One" Pattern

Here is the next tatting pattern that I put up. It was the first heart I did in a round robin (Hence the name!)

Holes

Our frost-free hydrant was leaking somewhere and we had a bog in our front yard (the grass right around it was very lush!)




We turned the pump off (to stop the leak) and started digging to find the problem















Sarah was digging for "gold"


































I told Dan I felt like we were in the movie "Holes" (with Shia LaBeouf)










After having the pump on for an hour, the hole filled up with water again! (Later the hole had water whether the pump had been on or not)


















The red line is the water line.














Digging











More digging












To give you an idea of how deep the hole is, that is a regular shovel in the bottom of the hole, with the grass being the level ground.

















Here you can see the bend in the pipe going to the well/pump

It turned out that the pipe wasn't leaking, just the hydrant, so that was good!














Taking out the old hydrant

We decided to put stones in the bottom to help with drainage

















Time to fill in the hole
