Totems to Keep Me Together

Snow keeps falling.

Big chunky flakes this time. Already caked vehicles. Have been strumming on the guitar all morning. Nothing has progressed. Some lyrics turned story-mode. Too many limbs to hang from. Need to make a crow girl sweater. The idea sparked as I came padding out and a murder flew like a mob of blackness, like a cloud about to downpour its burdens (hopefully in my case not of the bowels), cawing to one another and curving and swooping in unison. To me I wish I could have transformed and kicked my feet from the ground to join them, flying. What about a knitted totem poll?

London Ridges Falling…

No no no. Nothing is falling except snow.

Here is a new pattern! Had loads of fun designing and knitting on my snow day!

Pattern: London Ridge Beret – Ravelink’d!
Yarn: Red Heart Soft Solid in Grape, 1 skein
Needles: set of 5 US#6 dpn

I still have three patterns to write up, pdf, and get them ready for the world. The three troublemakers; Riphraph Mitts, Snowden, and Northwoods Lodge Mittens.

WWKIP: later day shadow plays

The whole time while knitting @ WWKIP I forgot to get the camera out. I can’t believe it! So now I am dedicated to chronicle EVERY knit day outing from now on..but for your viewing pleasure..here are some random pics from that day.

^ beer, fiber, and handmade patch for WWKIP

^ our (me and bry) shadows on Kirkwood

^ Runcible Spoon stained glass crane a.k.a. the best seat in the house
