Wow … what a cold, wet, miserable weekend! That said, I was a wimp and only went of Saturday for The Battle Of Cedar Creek. I didn’t mind the cold and rain … I just don’t have a lot of vacation time at work, and I can’t afford to be sick (not only because they are stupid and take vacation time before they take sick time, I dont want to give any of my patients a cold.) It was great seeing everyone, as I really miss them all! I don’t get to attend as many events as I like, because of having to work every other weekend. This was my last event of the season. Hopefully next year will be better!
Also, I FINALLY got a picture of that Civil War Shawl I finished in August!
Pretty AND warm!
- Project : Civil War Shawl
- Pattern : Knitted Winter Shawl (Godey’s Lady Book, November 1864)
- Made for : Me
- Yarn : Knit Picks Wool of the Andes
I should have blocked it; it would have been much bigger. But it kept me warm and I got a lot of compliments on it. I want to make another one sometime in the future, from local wool that I have spun up myself. Now THAT would be something!!!
Speaking of FO’s, I also finished the 4th pair of socks that Wilma is paying me to make!!!!
- Project : John Deere Socks
- Pattern : Plain Socks – various resources
- Made for : Wilma – pair 4/4
- Yarn : Knit Picks Swish DK
These are so ugly; seriously, unless you like John Deere or the Green Bay Packers … yeah. I’m just glad they are done!
