Shetland
Lace scarf out of pink angora. I need to block it as it seems to
have grown when I washed it. It's now about 8' long! I
gave this to Ryanne's mother. She loves it.
|
A blue
and multicolored handspun, multidirectional scarf. I gave this
to Ryanne's father as a combo Christmas & birthday present.
|
| Finished
a hat out of multicolored handspun from roving I purchased at
Rhinebeck last year. It's pretty shades of blues and
greens. I made it for the Tamarra the temp that left work and
now is in school in NH. I need to make her some mittens too and
I will mail them to her.
|
Finished
a Shetland lace scarf in greens & orange hand painted Merino from
the NH Sheep show. It's for Ryanne for Christmas
|
Started
and finished a quick multi-directional scarf out of the same green
homespun for the other temp at work (Tamarra) who was leaving. She's going
to school in NH so she'll need it.
|
| Knit
another hat for Ryanne. This one larger and out of green
homespun. I added a few stripes of orange to make it the colors
of the Irish flag. She's very Irish.

hat with pink embroidered flowers and beads. I gave it to
another girl at work for her toddler daughter.

Socks. Two
pairs. One for me and I gave the other to Ryanne.
|
| Made a quick scarf to wear
to work out of the recycled silk I purchased on vacation.
|
Ryanne has the green
sweater. I haven't seen it or her for a while. I have no idea what
stage it is at. She was lengthening the sleeves (I have very short arms)
and adding volume to the neck.
|
Socks. Blue &
green variegated yarn. I gave them to Ryanne
|
| Multidirectional Diagonal
scarf out of brown homespun wool and alpaca. I gave it to Jack the
Therapist. He didn't have a scarf.

Finished
the never ending cardigan turned vest! The buttons are sewn on, I just
have to make button holes and block it.
|
Pair of mittens for a
child. They are knit out of Blue Wool-Ease from Lion Brand so
they will be washable. I gave them to Chef Dave at work for his little
boy Michael.

We survived the flooding without building an ark. There are
roads in the state that are still underwater and closed. Over the past
week to 10 days, parts of CT have had over 7" of rain. The CT river
is nearly as high as it was back in the 1984 when we had severe flooding.
Here are some photos that I found of current flooding in the area.
Not sure were in CT this is located.
This is the CT River in Middletown. It is
usually well beyond the railings which run along a walkway.
Finally, Harbor Park Restaurant in
Middletown. Don't worry, it floods out every year. The river is
supposed to be back behind rail on the left and much lower.
