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.

Ishbel is Crazy Awesome!

The sparkly snow is a fitting backdrop for this beautiful shawl. Crazyfoot is the perfect yarn for it...I'm so glad I was able to test it out for Mountain Colors!

The shawl was created with the small stockinette section then sections ABACDDE. I have enough yarn left (see the bottom photo) that I believe I used around 400 yards. I will weigh it at school to be more precise

Crazyfoot is coming to my needles!

Did I get your attention? Don't worry about my sanity (we already know that is past question)...I'm so excited I can hardly handle it! My knitter friend in Great Falls has received her skein of this glorious new sock yarn from Mountain Colors Yarn...but as I'm fogged in at the farm, and the skein may be 28 miles south at the post office... waiting isn't easy! I wonder what color will be waiting for me? I wonder what to make from it? I'm past wondering how I got to be so lucky as to have been chosen to knit with it...it was meant to be!

Family and Funerals

Families often get together for weddings and funerals...this gathering was due to the passing of a great husband, father (in-law), grandpa, great-grandpa and more. Richard, you will be missed. Thank you for raising such wonderful kids!



















Who would have believed these three would have the same coat?!




















This large bouquet went to brighten the Nursing Home.







Mom sent a beautiful bouquet to share with the family and decorate the church...it came home with us. Thanks Mom!

Fire Palm Fog




I used the Vancouver Fog Mitts pattern, but my second pair would add 4 more stitches to the total cast on...and 5 stitches instead of 4 for the thumb. These also weren't the best to take to the wrestling meet...it took too much concentration!

New Years Finished Object!

I'm calling this one Fibonacci Flood...it is Jared Flood's Turn a Square hat.
