Test knit cowl: So this happened…

Yesterday, I was knitting my test knit cowl when I realized something that my join was twisted. Ulp… In my 35+ years of knitting this has only happened a few times.

I’m using some of my handspun yarn to knit this lace cowl.

Because of that I’ve frogged my project and am starting over. I’m a process knitter, so it didn’t bother me that much. If something isn’t right, I’ll make it right. Today, after my work is finished, I’ll be knitting. This project is due next week. It’s a simple lace knit project so it should not take me too long.

Books about felting. My daughter and I can’t wait to try a few of the projects.

Saturday, I received the above books from a Facebook friend The majority of the people that I’m friends with on Facebook are family, friends and a few former classmates, there might be five that I don’t actually know. This lady hosts a sewing forum on there which is how I “met” her. We’ve struck up a friendly conversation because of our similarities. In a few weeks, I’ll be sending her some of my handspun yarn along with a few other goodies. I cannot wait to see how she likes her gifts.

Isn’t this racoon adorable? We set it free in our woods.

Yesterday morning, this is what greeted us out in the garden. We took him back to the woods, perhaps a 1/2 acre away and set it free. I’ve always adored raccoons. I had no way of knowing what sex this one was, but I’ve named it… “Lucy.”
