Without further ado, the Owl That Went To Portland (on time!):
My Mother loved it! And has asked me to knit her a hat too! (actually, she hinted around until I offered) She wants one like the hat Sarah knit for Gwen (my parents have a photo of her in it). And when I asked about colors, Mother said she liked the bright colors of Gwen’s hat! Fuschia -- with accents of pink and melon and few other fun colors. So, Sarah and I went yarn shopping, of course. We found a beautiful raspberry wool/cashmere/silk blend (Cashsilk from Laines du Nord) for the main color and a zesty accent yarn – gray with shiny bands of raspberry and various shades of orange (Nashua Daylily). Sophisticated!
It is nearly Halloween – which means we are busting out costumes! Chess Pieces (Black king and queen, White king and queen) – oh, there is pleather involved! And Max’s promised wolf suit (ala Where The Wild Things Are). I am knitting and crocheting masks from StitchDiva’s pattern for the adult costumes.
Since it is the week before Halloween, we are also plotting the Holidays. So, our conversations run something like:
What should we do for all the cousins for Christmas and who is picking Sasha up form the airport the day before Thanksgiving?
I don’t know, but maybe Jeff and what are we doing for Christmas cards and is this tail wolf-y enough?
Probably. I ordered some and please hack me off another piece of that pleather, but what are we going to do for all the cousins for Christmas?
