Ravelympics and the Astronomy OWL

I love the stitch definition on the Order to Chaos shawl.

A shot to better show the progress...






Row 80 of row 158...that should be 33%!


Ahh...a ball of glorious yarn!



Tempted never really got off the ground...especially as I ran out of yarn.





This ball of double stranded wool/acrylic blend yarn came from......this **UGH** hat.

Thank you my Just Hillary friends!

I am so blessed to have my friends. These wonderful members of the Ravelry Just Hillary group sent me this pick-me-up...wow. I can't believe their generosity. Peach tea (delicious), Debbie Bliss Prima in Purple, Manos de Uruguay yarn, Tofutsies sock yarn (yep, that is made with shrimp and crab shells...amazing), Carrot Smoothie lip balm (that veggie is useful!), and a whole bouquet of circular needles. The cards and notes included with the package are so heart warming...I just love you guys!

Thank you!

Updates!

Almost done...


Hedera by Cookie A. was fun to knit...and is my official gold metal!





Let's talk birthday yarn!

Branching Out

I frogged and restarted my Branching Out Scarf. On my first attempt, I learned the importance of a life line...so my new tried and true technique is to use my 16 inch Knit Picks Circular needle as my portable life line. I am 5 pattern repeats into the scarf, and I realize it will not be a portable knit for my week of study hall or hall duty. Hmmm...I like the knitting, yet it isn't one that I have been able to put on automatic pilot. Still, while I have been knitting it, I decided to view the completed or works in progress on Ravelry. There are (are you ready for this?) 48 pages of these scarves! Let's do the math...10 per page...yep, almost 480 scarves have photos. There are 554 total Branching Out scarves which are on the site...that counts those projects with and without photos. One of the without photos is mine. I'll have to fix that!

Ravelry...

I"m getting closer all the time! (I checked this as I was waiting in the house for Garrett to get back from the field...honest!)
