We did have snow…now we have mud.

In two days all of our snow melted and caused some muddy areas.  The poor horses next door get to be in a mud field for a few days.

But look how green the grass is…crazy!

 

Knitting Update

There has been knitting going on in the craziness that I call my life.  Amongst all the moving, filing papers, crying, drinking wine and being around great friends I have managed to finish a couple projects and get well on my way on a few others. 

First there was the Thermal Sweater from Knitty, this project was going along great and I was loving the way that they yarn was working with the pattern.  Sadly, it was attacked by my friends year old golden retriever and it did not survive.  There was a large hole that I consulted with numerous knitters on, it was decided that the location and extent of the damage was fatal.  I am on the fence as to if I am going to cast on this same project again with this yarn.

(before and after the attack)

Secondly I have finished two Acorn Hats for two of the children at the office.  These were a quick knit and the pattern (by Cari Luna) was great! I used Cascade 220 Superwash and size 7 Addi Turbo Needles.

Modeled by one of the recipients.

The final project that I am working on is a splurge for myself.  I was atKnitty Gritty in Tri-Cities and fell in love with this 100% silk yarn by Blue Ridge Yarns.  In the Holiday edition of Interweave Knits there was a pattern for a scarf that called for a silk yarn.  So here is my Hourglass Eyelet Scarf.  It is also being knit on size 7 Addi Turbos.

(I couldn’t resist trying it on while still in progress)

 

Winter arrived in Walla Walla

We have snow! I am loving it! This is the first snow in Walla Walla this year, and we are forcasted to get snow all day today.  Driving is a little difficult for some, we all need to remember to keep a little extra space between us and the other drivers on the road.
