UFOs !!!
Where? In my knitting bags!
This is a motivational tool to get these babies done....... hope it works.
First up: The green shawl. I have made progress. It is now 30 inches from the beginning point to the needle end. Hope to be using it this fall. This is the yarn given to me by my secret pal LAST year for St. Paddy's Day.
This is the 6hr sweater that is taking me months to get done. I'm almost there!! Just 2 more inches, then I can bind off and sew up the sides and shoulders. I thought I was smart by knitting both sides at once, at least the length will be even!
Another cloth in the works. This one is from the Lion Brand website. Someone on one of my Yahoo groups suggested this pattern using a solid and a variegated. Rows 1 & 2 are knit, Rows 3 & 4 are K1, P1, then repeat the 4 rows. For rows 1&2 I am using Peaches & Creme Licorice #210 and for rows 3&4 I am using Peaches & Creme Sunburst #11. Both these colors were new additions at Wal-Mart. I bought a few of each. The Licorice color is cool!
And when life throws you too many curves and you need to let go and unload....
Grab an axe and split some firewood! Man!! That felt GOOD!!
And... October didn't get off to a great start either. My most favorite spot on this earth Kennedy Meadows Resort burned down. The Lodge, restaurant, store and 7 cabins burned to the ground. A fire in the chimney flue started the fire at around 1 a.m. Unbelievable!! Even though Matt is vowing to rebuild, it won't be the same. This is the place I would escape to and recharge. If I couldn't physically get there, I would go there in my mind to escape the stress in my life. God speed Matt. May the snowpack be light this year so you can get started earlier.
