New Beginnings

It's a new month!

I can't believe it's already July. 

<wow>

And I began a new lace knitting project this week!

It’s the same pattern I knitted earlier this year, Fragile Heart, but I’m changing 2 variables this time:  I’m using a different yarn and I’m knitting a different version of the same pattern:  all lace!

I can’t wait to see how it turns out with the delicate laceweight yarn that I’m using.  Since I had 3 skeins in my stash, I decided to use a KSH clone:  Cascade Kid Seta in the color Imperial Purple.  ♥ 

It is also a mohair and silk blend, but also is 4% wool.  I don’t know why, but it is.  Most mohair/silk yarns are just that, mohair and silk.  So I don’t know why they added in some wool. But this yarn was on clearance (and still is) and was almost half-price, so I was thrilled to try it out.  It comes in some very unique colors, but it’s also discontinued, so buy it now while you still can.

I nearly went with a very soft lilac color, but decided that that color looks extremely beautiful with silver-lined beads.  And I had already decided that I’m going to knit this shawl without beads this time, just to see how it looks when you don’t have the distraction of those gorgeous beads and all you have is the delicate lace.  So, I think I’ll save that yarn for my next beaded project.

I did all my prep and began knitting, but only got as far as the garter stitch tab beginning.  That little bit gets you started (on this and most shawls), so I am all ready to get knitting on the lace part next.

I just love beginning a new lace project and seeing it unfold row after row.  I have no idea how this one is going to turn out.  It may not!  LOL

I’ll letcha know how it goes...

XOXO,

Coughing and Sore Throat Relief

I didn’t know to read the ingredients of cough drops before,

but when Mr. Man got strep throat the other week,

it hurt so bad that we were extremely motivated!

It turns out that Sucrets has a wonderful ingredient

for throat pain:  Dyclonine hydrochloride.

Did you know that?  I didn’t. 

And according to Mr. Man, 

it helped better than the Rx from the doctor!

But not all Sucrets are created equal...

The Vapor Cherry flavor has 3 mg., 

some others only have 2 mg.

 I think I’m also going to get some cough drops 

that have Benzocaine in them to have on hand, too.

I didn’t know about them at the time, 

and they sound like something definitely worth trying.

For coughing, sugar-free Ricolas won the prize.

(And sleeping in the easy chair.)

But please, get the sugar-free kind.

I used the regular, sugared ones during my recent
respiratory bug and got a bad case of Oral Thrush.

You don’t want to mess with that!
