Rain

I don't know why this picture is sideways, but anyway, here's my giant allium with some raindrops. We've had 3.69 inches this month, probably half of that in the last four days!

  1. What a beautiful picture! I sure wish you'd send rain our way -- we've been promised rain for four days and all we've had so far has been a little bitty shower.

  2. Lots of rain here, too. Everything is so green. I love the allium - I don't think I've seen one before! Thanks for sharing!

  4. I thought it looked like you were getting a lot of rain, Karen! I was living in Greeley in the 70's during the Big Thompson flood - what a nightmare that was - and we had come down from visiting Estes the day before the flood! Here's hoping these rains aren't so bad!
    Cheers!

reasons I knit

I haven't posted a lot of knitting on here in the last few years.  Not much to say about it but I still knit.   I knit because I love to create. I knit because I love sweaters. I knit because I grew up with a mom who is artistic beyond the acknowledgement she receives, and it's in my blood to do something creative. I knit because I love the good things God grows, like sheep and wool and muskox and cotton. I knit because I love colors. I knit because my boys wear what I knit. I knit because I like the rhythm. I knit because it has a beginning and an end, and they are achievable.  I knit because when my hands are busy, my mouth slows down, and it gives my brain a chance to make better decisions. I knit because I'm really, really good at it, and it's one of the few things that others acknowledge, and we all need that. I knit because I love to knit. I'm working on a colorful shawl in alpaca. 

modular knitting

On the plus side, modular knitting gives one interesting options for colorwork and color blocking.  Sometimes the dye process can give the yarn its own commentary, like this changing of scales. However, there are often many more ends to weave in.  This one is not too bad, but there's at least four ends on every row - 14 rows.  Still, interesting to try something new! Details on my Ravelry page , if you are interested!!  Have you tried modular knitting?  Thumbs up or down??

Spring Means Baseball!

I've had this idea for a knitting pattern in my head and it's finally come to fruition!  I am still polishing up the pattern, but here's a quick peak:  PS:  There's more than one size and this one is too big for me but it was the only one I had "stitched up."
