The Electric is Finished and My Latest Crochet

So ya it's been a while again.  No I haven't made any vlogs for YouTube.  I just can't do it.  But we have been busy, busy, busy.  We finished painting almost all of the outside of our building.  We still have the outside and inside of the door and the north side (faces the alley) that we totally forgot about.  LOL!  We estimate we have 3 more weeks to finalize everything.  The electrician finished his job yesterday at 4:00 pm.  He had worked n it since Monday morning.  We went from a piddley 60 amps (I think it was) to 400 amps (I think).  No more tripping breakers and there is plenty of room to expand in the future.  Today I have been busy cleaning equipment and putting it where we *think* we want it in the new kitchen.  The espresso machine is calling my name.  I'm sure you can hear it too.  LOL!  I haven't had one of our latte's since last fall.  There still is some coffee left so I hope to make a few over the next several days, even it it's 100+ degrees outside!  We're getting new coffee anyway.  What we have has been sitting around for over a year.

I've had a little time to crochet, and had a few cooler spots to do it in.  I've been doing tunisian.  I made a tunisian bump stitch infinity scarf.  I have enough of this yarn left over I'm considering crocheting a slouchy hat to go with it.


 I currently have 2 WIP's (3 if you count the rainbow scarf I posted about in my last post.  I still need to get more yarn for it)  This tunisian starlight scarf.  It uses a shell stitch and a twisted tunisian stitch.  It may be hard to tell from the picture but it's quite pretty.  This is a darker purple.

I was knitting a poncho with this yarn, but I found a tunisian pattern I liked more.  I am making a tunisian treasure shawl.  It is a combination of tunisian simple and tunisian purl stitches.  So far I'm liking it!


 And the twiddle muff......The basic muff is finished.  I have buttons sewed on it so it can either lay flat or be buttoned around the arm/wrist.  I have made a few twiddles.  They are temporarily on there while I decide what I want or don't want to do with it.  

So what about you.  have you been busy too?  I'm hoping it won't be long until I can announce that we are serving our amazing sandwiches and out of this world ice cream dishes. ;-)
