Megan who is in the 5th grade and in Middle School had her first band concert the other night. She is playing Clarinet and I am so proud of her. I have to say I was very impressed with each band that played. The 5th and 6th grade each had their own band and the 7th & 8th graders had a seperate one.
They all played so well! I had never heard a bunch of 5th graders sound so good so of course I ordered the CD they made....well not 1 but 6....have to send them to family! Yes these pics are staged because she is 3rd chair and from where I sat I couldn't get a good angle on her and my pics all turned out dark... can you tell she is excited!?
I didn't mean for this scarf to come out so skinny (3.5" wide) but my novice brain didn't know it would pull in so much. Blocking may be an option but I have never done that and I don't think it looks bad so I am giving it as is.
I made sure it was plenty long and the furry sections sure does give it some interest but my goodness the ends to weave in! I hope my friend like it! It was knit with Nature Wool Chunky. I just loved the pink color....I wanted a pretty green but couldn't find one that spoke to me.Hopefully I will be able to get a pic of my friend wearing it so you can see it modeled.
I started my mothers scarf in the Manos....I searched for a pattern that wasn't too busy but would look beautiful with the yarn.....again I chose the One Row Scarf from The Yarn Harlot...
I just really like it's result and the ease of pattern.....I really hope she wears this one. I have yet to see her wear the other two I knit for her last year one of which I really really loved but it was before my passion REALLY sunk in and so I don't have a picture of it.
So still on the needles is :
- Moms Manos Scarf
- My Red Scarf ....I cast on the 2nd time last night with Patons Shetland Chunky Tweeds....pictures to come soon....
- Chenille Washcloth....for a friend of mine
- Darling Husband's Besotted Scarf
- Socks for everyone.....THAT should keep me busy for a while....LOL
