Since The Scarf Pattern was Requested…
I will not post it here, but if you send me an email, I will send you a copy of the pattern. You MAY NOT publish it anywhere however, nor share any part of it. My email is allena at spindleandwheel dot com.
I wasted Friday, digging potatoes, and then fishing with the kids. I should have worked, but we caught 4 big catfish for supper, so I guess that’s ok. The girls would get SOOOO excited when we would catch one, especially a big one.
Dominic is busy on his hat, he has gotten about an inch and half done.

You can see that the yarn Beth spun is very beautiful, and Dominic is making good progress. He knitts a few rows everyday. When he drops a stitch, he brings it to me, and I fix it, and I usually do a row for him. He’s only done it twice so far, and he goes along at a pretty good clip considering that he’s only knitted 12 rows. 10 if you don’t count mine. A child Protoge!

Look how cute he is, lucky for me he doesn’t read my blog, so I can say that without suffering for it. On the other man front:
Beau is making a basket weave dishcloth. He got some purls where the knits went, and vice versa, his face says it all.

So I pulled out a crochet hook, and changed all of them back, it wasn’t that bad, but he sure was cross about it. He pouted too. He doesn’t like having to struggle, because he’s used to everything coming to him easily. But he keeps on going, if slowly. After I fixed it though, he seemed a little more happy about it.

And because Michelle asked, here is a picture of me:

Beau took this picture, and it’s a very nice one, but I don’t usually look like that. Only on rare occasions when Beau begs me to look presentable, for his sake LOL. I am way too lazy for makeup and stuff everyday. I had wanted to show a picture he took of me making a really funny face, but I can’t find it. Oh well, you’ll have to wait for a “real” picture.
So I finished the spindles I was working on, and I am still putting Nikki’s packet together. I am also finishing Beth’s thank you package. And on top of all that, we got fence built, and the breeding group arranged. You can read about that here
So, slowly I am catching up, and beginning some new patterns. Don’t forget to comment, and enter yourself in the drawing for next month’s prize!

I think Dominic looks like a young Dudley Dooright with that strong, handsome chin! I definitely want the pattern, but I guess I already indicated that in the email. And you are beautiful!

The hat is looking gorgeous. Love the yarn colors, hope you post it as a pattern in the next issue. Wonderful to see your family in pictures and the boys knitting. I’m going to show it to my boy, maybe he wants to knit too.

What a beautiful picture of you!
Dominic’s doing a great job on the hat; how wonderful that the whole family knits.
I’ve sent an email requesting the pattern; it’s very nice of you to offer it.
