Grannies 126, 127, Welcome, Ukraine! and Sunday Snippets

126

127

After a short break for the sake of my mental health,   Although 127 is very autumn-like in color, 126 I took as far away from that color scheme as possible.

I bought several skeins at a church rummage sale, and while talking to the woman who was selling the yarn, she said to me:  "I hope you don't use black in your designs.  I just hate it when people use black!".  Well.  The very next square had to have black, for sure!

It feels cool (as in temperature dropping) when I look at it.  This is very good for women of a certain age, if you know what I mean.  I may have to make an entire afghan with this color scheme, ha ha.

And not to give short shrift to 127, I very much like those colors together, too.

It was a very good day for garage sale shopping!  LOTS of yarn, from three different sales, a pasta spoon, because I used mine to reach something on a high shelf and then forgot where I put it, an amplifier (to use with the stratocaster electric guitar that I won a  couple of years ago) that I was absolutely ecstatic about when I bought it, several scarves and I think that's about it.  I left with $20 in my pocket, and had some change left over, so I am thinking I did exceedingly well with my purchases.  Oh, and I found my pasta spoon within minutes upon my return home, so now I have a spare for the next time this happens (and it will).

Welcome Ukraine!  You are the 71st county that has visited My blog, CoalescentCrochet@blogspot.com!  Countries that also visited here for the first time this week:  Latvia, Montenegro, Nicaragua, Cyprus, Uruguay, Thailand, Mauritius, Singapore, El Salvador, and Paraguay.  Crochet is truly international!  And, I love reading and learning about each country.  Montenegro was particularly fascinating!

How do I know which countries have visited?  I downloaded a free 'Flag Counter", the URL of which is:  http://s10.flagcounter.com/.  I also have http://feedjit.com/ downloaded.  The free version, which is what I have, lets you know when readers arrive and the country they are from, in real time.  The pro version has a lot more bells and whistles, but for now, free works for me.  Am I economical?  Do I have a significant amount of Scottish heritage?  Was there ever any question?

     And now for some snippets and photos that I've taken here and there:
