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
Andi

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!
