30 day writing challenge? Screw that. It wasn't near as much fun as I thought. I'll just go back to normal here: Knitting and birds...with a bit of class thrown in.
So I'm finished 98% wise on a request from friends of mine to make booties and a hat for their upcoming
baby. I chose the baby UGGS and a pumpkin hat. The hat just got dyed orange so it's not available for photos.
The Uggs turned out decently but the pattern needs tweaking if I ever do it again. These are going to be too big for a newborn. It was worth a shot, though.
I got in a pissy mood the other day and it got so bad that I couldn't even stand myself, so I took time off the internet and started knitting something It's the start of a pattern called a heelhead scarf with a bit of change to the pattern.
Link to the pattern: IT'S A FREE PATTERN! YAY!
Right now, It is about 2' long, but before I start increasing for the hood part, I will make it another foot, then start. The pattern itself came from a Cascade Yarns scarf pattern it's called the "Eco Cabled Scarf"
The yarn is handspun wool fleece bought from Sheep and Wool this year. I think it's a Cormo Cross. Nice medium crimp, good feel to it.
Oh sure, there are tons of projects on the needles here, I just don't want to see them right now.
On the poultry note: We butchered 29 chickens weekend before last and it was a long day. To make it all that more fun, the next day my BIL brought over a big doe and we butchered that as well. My new skinning knife works well in skinning a deer fast. It took me less than an hour.
