Yep. I found one more WIP lurking. Went to clean under my bed the other day and there it was! This is the Color on Color Scarf from Scarf Style. I love it and the colors. Unfortunately, it has suffered the fate of so many other WIPs. Something new and more exciting came along when I got to a tedious part...now it's in the lineup...bound to be finished someday...hopefully sooner rather than later!
This is one end of it...it'll keep going off to the left there. Ain't it purty?!
Speaking of purty, here's DD with a bracelet she just made from a jewelry kit she got from hubby's aunt for Christmas. We've been making lots of earrings, and a few bracelets. It's really fun, and not hard at all.
We've been hanging out a lot at home these past few weeks. Having the occasional playdates, trips to the library, little bit o' schooling stuff here and there (more about that some other time).
Today we're going to hang out with a whole bunch of our homeschooling friends from TALC (that's our homeschooling group...stands for The Alternative Learning Center. Our actual "classes" don't start up until the first week in Feb, but in the meantime lots of us wanted to get together to just hang out and play. We're bringing sleds and snow gear, some games, and some veggies. The veggies will go into the Stone Soup pot for lunch. Mmmm! Every Wed at TALC is Stone Soup Day. Everybody brings something to contribute to the pot. Someone starts up the pot when they get there and everyone helps chop and add stuff as they arrive. The smell of sauteeing onion, garlic and other veggies is so heady and delicious. Sometimes people bring bread. Today one of the mom's is going to bring sourdough starter to make bread and whoever wants can bring some starter home with them. Mmmm! Then at 12 o'clock Soup's On! and anyone that wants can share in the deliciousness!
I have a link for you too today. Have you heard of Guerilla Knitting? I had...maybe from Lime and Violet's Daily Chum or Interweave Knits magazine. Anyway, Lime and Violet say " Australian blogger Grrl + Dog has issued a challenge: create a work of guerilla fiber art by February 23rd! Check out this blog post for ideas and details."
Go ahead, check it out...looks like fun to me! Just trying to spread the word...I think it would be really cool to see knit graffiti showing up all over the place. If you take the challenge, let me know...I'd love to hear about it!
Awesome concept, guerrilla knitting, love it! Too bad I don't have a blog to post it on. Not to mention I haven't a clue what to do knit wise, but still. Reminds me of guerrilla gardening bit I saw this past summer. Suburban areas esp. people take little areas like boring medians and triangle light post areas and beautify with gardening. They go for it at night and some know it's ok and others don't so it may be illegal. I love the idea of folks going out and making things more beautiful. Anyway, can't believe how old dd looks! Wow.
