Some things I have made

Once upon a time, I found myself a necklace of these triangular stones. They are just rocks, grey triangle rocks. It made for a very heavy necklace, and it was quite short. 

Recently I found this necklace of giant diamonds! Alas, not real diamonds, but lightweight, plastic, enormous diamonds! 

I added my diamonds to my rocks and I have a longer necklace, that is still quite heavy of course, but not close around my neck. The blue gems are in my bead box, awaiting their fate. 

I also took this pearl necklace apart and put it back together again. It was originally two short strands; now one longer one. Once again, unfortunately these are not real pearls, and certainly not natural golden pearls! 

Stop taking pictures in front of the window

I am knitting, although it is really hot! This is a square for a COVID-19 charity/art/memorial thing (atop a jigsaw puzzle that was easy enough for a while).

 

And here we have a hat of some leftovers and hand-me-downs. It'll go in the charity box. Super warm, I think. 
 

I started knitting the hat because my other new project was already driving me bonkers. 

I think it took me a couple of days to get this much knit. Two and three-quarter millimetre needles, tiny, tiny woolly yarn. This will one day be a lovely cardigan for me, light and airy and warm, but right now it is a hot sticky chore. To knit a hat on 4.5s was a delight, and it went so fast! 

This is the state of the sweater at present. I suspect it will not be ready for the coming autumn, but maybe next spring! 

The green yarn of the border was bought in Vancouver as a substitute when I couldn't go to Fibres West, and the petrol-bluish mix was bought recently. I gave someone a bunch of pattern books and she sent me a gift certificate for the shop up the hill, so I was compelled. 

It's still so hot, I can't even imagine wearing a sweater, but I shall continue....
