No scrapbooking here... haven't done a single page this year, but not to worry because I've got a couple of weekend crops coming up and I plan on starting and completing an entire album during those crops. My niece #2 is expecting her life album for her graduation in June and she will get it.
Now on to other news......
I finished my Kilkenny Shawl made from Shepherd's Wool made right here in Michigan. It has become a favorite item to wear, so soft and worn.
On my Knitting site, Ravelry, a competition of sorts was held during the run of the Olympics and interestingly was called the 'Ravelympics'. Thousands of knitters formed into teams and individuals on those teams entered events and projects were started, finished and sometimes frogged during the Vancouver games. The team I joined was Team Sasquatch and I entered both the Lace Luge and the Scarf Super-G because I was knitting a lace scarf, my first. The yarn was Qiviut (from the musk-ox), from Canada, appropriate for the location of the Olympics this year. I chose a project that would challenge me and it certainly did, but I finished on time.
Those who finished were awarded medals... here's mine from the Lace Luge.
Projects on the needles... working on the knitted hat the the USA athletes wore during the opening ceremonies.. it's red, white and blue, with moose/reindeer on them. Not that I'll ever wear it... I don't wear hats, but I just had to make it. It's done in three colors and I've never done a colorwork piece before. It's on the back burner a the moment as I ran out of blue yarn and had to order another skein.
Also starting to work on a pair of socks for niece #2 in 'Dream in Color Smooshy' in blue.
That's it for this update, hope to have more next time.
