Part two of FOs...

The sister was gracious enough to be my model, so that I could display my 2nd finished object of the week.

Thankfully the weather cooperated by being overcast, giving the day the feel of a chilly winter's day.

Pattern: Pasha by Jane Richmond
Yarn : Cascade 220 sport in Natural

In addition to be a cute model, the sister was a good sport about it. Not to say that her services were free. Payment was made via lunch and one of the requirements was a nice Lager.  I guess you can say it was a win for me as well.

Don't worry, we did not have a liquid lunch, there was some food involved. Boy was there ever! I am sorry I didn't take a picture of it  but let me tell you, it involved a burger with a pretzel bun and sweet potato tots. Too incredible, which explains why there is no picture, it was devoured without so much as a thought of capturing it for your viewing pleasure. Sorry.

So there you go the second finished object this week. This is definitely not the norm for me, so I can't get too excited.

I will leave you with some wonderful things that caught my attention this week in blogland, enjoy!

• These fabulous knee socks from Helena.
• There is something about Raina's photos that make want to knit. She could take a picture of food and I want to knit, eat better, looks better. and on and on.  Can't explain!
• Michelle's adorable finished object. Bonus, after knitting an object like this that it look that cute on.
• I have been listening to Podcasts a lot lately. The vary from the Naked Scientist to Cast on. A new one is from Andrea and her friend Mary. It is so much fun, it is like being at your knitting group with your friends.

 

Hope you are having/had a wonderful weekend that involved yarn and good food!

XO

The feel of a chilly winter's day ... with green grass in the background, no less ;) It's a lovely hat and perfect weight for where you live.

When will the citrus trees bloom? I'm heading back down the end of February and was hoping to experience their fragrance!

Love this new hat! White seems to be the color of the year! Seems like you had a nice lunch with your sister! I too have a sister and I think we should get together more often... Have a great weekend!
