Actual Stitching

Yes in between all of the snow there has been

actual stitching that has taken place here.

I knitted Lance a hat and pair of gloves.

Just in time I might add.

I love this yarn it is by Green Mountain Spinnery

in Mountain Mohair the pattern is actually

from their book aptly named Green Mountain Spinnery Book

and can be viewed here

Anyway I always stop at their booth when visiting

the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival

which is always the first weekend in May.

I have also worked some more on my Long Dog Sampler

which is Bears the saying at the top is

"Do and Undo the Day is Long Enough"

I am happy to report I have finished the top half and

I am now ready to move to the bottom half

I am using Edinburgh Cream for the Fabric

and Gloriana Threads in Cranberry.

Here is a close up

and of course what would a day be like around here

without a picture of our most recent snow storm

I am beginning to think I have been transported from

Northern Virginia to Alaska.

Hey Sarah do you

think you can teach me to hunt Caribou???

To which I am sure she would reply "You Betcha!"
