What kind of a Ladybug are you?

All in Black
Quiz.....What is my Name?

Wow…..! Sometimes in the month of August out in our backyard I was surprised to see this wonderful black Ladybug with no spots on it.   It was just flying onto our Standard Willow Tree where I was sitting close by.  It is so unique in its colors that I still have not found out if this is norma027l to see a black Ladybug or if I was just lucky to spot it.

Fishtail wristwarmers

Some Great Fingerless Gloves

Fingerless GlovesI love this fun pattern called “Fishtail wristwarmers“. It is fun to knit and only uses up one ball of yarn. I have used Lang  Yarn ” Jawoll Superwash” in gray and “Meilenweit Cotton” in orange. I have to say both look and feel nice. My favourite though would be the gray one, knit with Lang Yarn  “Jawoll Superwash.”http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/fishtail-wristwarmers#

 As today is Halloween the orange one would be the perfect one to wear tonight.  The pattern was fun to knit and you get into the pattern repeats soon. 

 I will work on a few more for some Presents.  Hope to keep a few children happy and warm in the cold winter days.  Perhaps we all should start to think of the poor and just make one extra item for just one child.  Even one will make a difference.

This was a fun project especially since I made two of them. The first one was too small so I gave it to my daughter and made another one for myself. Fun and light to wear in a hot day if you like to cover up or on a cooler summer evening.
