Emily's Textiles: Yellow And Blue Knitted Toque

Thursday June 26, 2025: Before I get into Textiles news I wanted to wish my Maternal Grandmother a very Happy Birthday. Grandma may be up in Heaven but I know that she is looking down on me and watching me. I think if she was alive and knew what I was up to she would be proud of me. A fun fact to share is that Grandma worked as a Home Economics Teacher. She also had a talent in Art and enjoyed music. Good morning I wanted to share the news that I have started knitting a yellow and blue knitted toque. Pics to come soon. I hope you all have a great day. I will write more in the morning. Now it is time to shut off the computer and get some sleep.

Well the Toque is coming along. Will be taking photos today.
