I finally found a hat style that looks good on me: It's the tam (or beret? or slouch?). Whatever, the designer calls it, the loose, flowing style looks good on my round face. Hoorah!

My finished Bella Blouse, modeled by the my sister, the recipient. Doesn't she look great? She's modeling it on our hotel balcony in Cairo. A bunch of us just finished our Bella Blouses, and what a project that was. It challenged me in many ways: lace knitting that started with a wrong-side row...

It was in the mid-70s here in Spokane last weekend and I've got summer fever! I spent about 10 hours in the garden, pruning roses, weeding, and spreading mulch. It was heaven!
