a welcome outcome. Back in Hockey Town, the Wings skated like the Stanley Cup Champions they are. Home rink advantage and Pavel Datsyuk back in the line up, and we made it Chris Osgood's 3rd shut out victory in Stanley Cup Finals... what a great goalie he is! This picture was taken after the 3rd goal ~ by Henrik Zetterberg ....as you can see, I was able to knit a lot during this game!
knitting. I think the ribbing would have been better suited for a finer gauge knit, perhaps, as the ribs seem to be a bit wide, but perhaps that is how all ribbed hats appear when worn?
it on the plane, and all I have to do is weave in the ends (as you can see in this picture). H is very pleased with it. She said, "I'd wear it tomorrow, but the weather is supposed to be 90 degrees again" so no scarves tomorrow!
I wasn't sure how the pattern would turn out when I started my typical "drop stitch" scarf pattern. When I saw that it was turning out in symmetrical boxes, I had the idea of making a diagonal scarf to see if the pattern would be more pleasing to the eyes.... so I asked H which one she liked best. The picture shows the "drop stitch boxes" on the left and the "diagonal pattern" on the right.
games against the penguins at home in Hockey Town! Sadly, they lost last night when the series went away from Detroit, so we are hoping that is the only win for the penguins!
yarn, proudly worn by my daughter, as she's holding one of our Sussex chicken, Lemony.... does it get any better than this?
just begun, so I should be able to meet all my Christmas knitting goals, right? Since this is a Christmas gift, I can't really say who the lucky recipient will be...in case they might hear through the grapevine, or read through the blog lines....I'm knitting with Jo Sharp Silkroad Ultra, and so far it is wonderfully soft. I found a deal on it during the Sewing Expo in February. My fear is that it might be too big due to the gauge difference... but I'll let you know....
