It Got Long.

I didn't read the pattern correctly; I should have stopped the diamonds with 9 stitches and I took them down to 5 stitches.  So they are much more defined and the scarf is quite long:
One skein of Lion Brand Homespun.

I kept painting this week, trying gradients one day and using washi and masking tape:


The outer ones are monochrome; the inner
use two or three colours.  I tried to blend them.

Finished, with tape removed.  The masking tape didn't come
up as cleaning as I would like on the right side and damaged
the pink triangle a bit.  Or the paper was still damp.

These are most of the ones for this week.  Some are just techniques or exercises.
I did a book for the day when the Prompt is
"TIRED" since reading in bed is my cause!

The prompt for the lower picture is "turtle" and
I thought of the shell pattern.  They are irregular
because I freehanded the outlines.

The trees are surprisingly good (to my eyes) other
than the trunks being out of proportion.  They
should be quite slim.  I may try doing them again.

On my way home from a fiber group meeting on Saturday, I turned in my second Reading Challenge form; I forgot to take a photo of it.  No prize this time, but I am entered into a drawing.  And I have started completing my third:
