Snow and Finished Objects

SNOW! Somehow I didn't really know this snow storm was on it's way.

I am still down with a cold so I stayed home from work and enjoyed the snow day with the kids, knitting, coffee and a quick walk outside to clear out my head and enjoy the scenery.

It was quick and heavy wet snow...also melted as quickly as it came. It's almost gone today.

 Finished knitting objects:

Stories from Snoqualmie Valley

Knitted with Cascade Alpaca Pure yarn.

It was heaven to knit and I've enjoyed wearing it.

My Rose and Cross Pullover sweater.

This sweater is from the book, My Grandmother's Knitting.

My sister, Andee and I both knit this sweater with a lot of modifications.

She made hers a turtleneck and I went for a boat neck.

More details are on my ravelry page.

I knitted this with the cormo yarn I purchased at Rhinebeck this year.

It's from Foxhill Farm. It knitted up really nicely and is so soft for wool.

The color work was knitted with HiKoo by Kenzie.

 

That's it for today. It's back to the couch with my tissues and knitting.

Yarn Along

Hello! Hope you all had a nice holiday. I was very happy to have a few days off work and that meant lots of knitting time. My sore elbow and shoulder might not be happy, but I am!

I made a ton of progress on my Rose and Cross Pullover.

I modified this pattern with the help of my sister, Andee. The original pattern is very big and loose and I prefer a more fitting sweater. I added some of the mods on my raverly project page.

I'm on the bottom rib and then I need to knit the sleeves.

I'm reading My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry.

So far it's quick and quirky and I'm liking it.

Here are some photos of the past week...

Happy Knitting!
