Continental Traveler

Started in Utah.  On yarn bought in California.  On needles bought in Oregon.  Finished in Tennessee.

 

Alpaca yarn.  Soooo soft!

I was working on it while my daughter hit the pool in Zion National Park, Utah.  I was hiding from the sun under a nice umbrella when someone asked me if I was working on a Slytherin scarf.  Why yes, I am working on a house scarf.  Then she gasped and said "I'm not sure if I am okay with that?!?  Don't you know that's the bad house?"  I know too many cunning Slytherins to answer that.   

Being Crafty and Such.

Dolls have been a hit lately.  I found a pattern I really love over at The Friendly Red Fox.  I have tried out this pattern a few time within the last two weeks.  I've made some minor changes to fit the look I was going for.  We had a house full of girls over last weekend and they all made some lovely pictures that I turned into doll.  

 

This one was supposed to be "a cat that you can't tell might be a dog"

 

The red girl.

 

Pinocchio for a special present. 

 

Figuring out the structure.  

The pattern worked up surprisingly easy.
