enchanted places

In October we went to Door County for a few days. We were hiking in Newport State Park, and came across these amazing rock formations. It was like being in an enchanted forest. Whyboy collected ferns in case we ran into any dinosaurs. Mostly we enjoyed the quiet space, together.

Christmas 2009

Merry Christmas to all!!

I hope you enjoyed a joyous day with family and friends.

down to the wire...

Mittens for Eloise (Stormy Sea BFL)

Remember in October I posted about my Dad's scarf, and how maybe this year would be different, maybe this year I would not be knitting like a maniac at the last minute? Well....I would have been done, really I would have, but I decided that I needed to knit from handspun this year (yes, I know there is a knitting store worth of commercial yarn stashed around my house).

A hat for my friend's son (Blue Ring Octopus Mernio)

A scarf for my Mom, in 'Dingo' polwarth.

Mittens for Susan ('Sari' Enchanted Knoll farm raised roving).

Maine Morning Mitts for my sister (Shetland /bamboo in Banksia from The Thylacine). She saw a picture of me wearing mine and asked...er, demanded a pair. Yes, she is spoiled.

A Ribbed Beanie for Jacob (Shetland roving from Baby Long Legs)

Now, I need to get back to knitting...2 neck warmers to finish and maybe a hat. Next year will be different......really!
