Can you see him? That blob in the middle of the driveway is a beautiful ringneck pheasant. As we pulled in to the office on Sunday afternoon we were treated to this most unexpected surprise. I never thought of pheasants as city dwellers. This guy took a stroll down the driveway, around the back of the office and through the post office parking lot. As you can see, I wasn't prepared for this photo op. These picitures are the best I could do with my ipad.</div>

This festival was held at the perfect venue for enjoying a wonderful fall day. There was a full day of shopping and that was if you didn't take too long at any one vendor. It was quite the accomplishment to see everything in one day, but then we're not amateur festival goers.</div>

But trying to follow a chart and keep track of stitches while bumping along the highway didn't seem like an efficient way to use my knitting time. Switching to something more travel friendly seemed to make sense and I have been knitting along on a sock with a simple slip stitch rib on the front. Part of the motivation for this project is due to my recent acquisitions from the Loopy Ewe and the need to burn through some of my sock yarn stash so I can move on to the new yarn.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh49pE8n_MQPwnpFYSY-hFt2dPAwlCJKb47qJX3CRJfoiMGTvTQwejNY9qrsevvPxxe2eALTL45dFjTno6WrlP9kbLYs_6e6yTIEnxT7bo80-uXZy_PTynBK01EUl3fOczk_ZhXk_zFmbmb/s1600/P6050003_edited-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh49pE8n_MQPwnpFYSY-hFt2dPAwlCJKb47qJX3CRJfoiMGTvTQwejNY9qrsevvPxxe2eALTL45dFjTno6WrlP9kbLYs_6e6yTIEnxT7bo80-uXZy_PTynBK01EUl3fOczk_ZhXk_zFmbmb/s320/P6050003_edited-1.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>That's two skeins of Bearfoot on the left, a wool mohair blend with jewel-like colors that aren't apparent in the photo.

<br />
I am using some handspun alpaca to knit the Alpine Lace Shawl from <i>Victorian Lace Today</i>.<br />
<br />
Here's a close up so you can see my really cute stitch markers.<br />

A lot has happened since the last post so I'll try to post updates in small doses. The winter was not kind to us and I was in a bit of a slump but things are looking up so stay tuned. More to come ..........Pamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17516772911459156945noreply@blogger.com0
