new cardigan, book



this shows the color change after 20 rows.







this shows how i am carrying the unused yarn up the sides so i have no knots.
worked with vicky over the phone as we went through 6 rows of a pattern, we actually worked them together. she plans to call again thursday and this is where we will BO the center 22 sts for the neck, attach a new yarn and work both sides at once.
also got 4th book of twilight series.

bison and new cardigan

buffalo in TN at Land Between the Lakes National park. it was at the elk and bison praries that we got pictures of these bison. we also saw some deer in the woods and snakes.
we didn't get to see the eiffel tower, next trip.

since i didn't get the job i decided to start on my cardigan. it will be a raglan sleeve fly away cardigan and similiar to one i saw at Express for $80. the stripes wlll be in turquoise and white and they will be wide stripes.
used seed edging and will after it's done use that same border where the button band will go.
