sheep in the city

Where did the Fall go?

This is my car in the parking lot at work yesterday morning. I usually have a beautiful view of the mountains from this spot. Not this morning though. I knew it was going to snow, but I just didn't believe it when it was 87 degrees on Saturday. That's Colorado weather for you. I love it, winter is on it's way!!

Thanks for voting on the projects, I mean project, that I should knit next. I really appreciate everyones input. The Spork won by a landslide, there were 62 votes. Who doesn't love a quick felted bag?! The colors that I chose will be debuted tomorrow...I need to take pictures of the colors tonight. I have yet to cast on, but I will as soon as I hear how a certain someones bag turns out.

In second place we have the Shadow Shawl using 3 skeins of Koigu and 3 skeins of Silky Tweed. (all but one skein out of the stash, oh yeah that's what I like!) This one got 46 votes. I have a feeling it was the allure of the Koigu. If I had said I was going to make it out of Red Heart methinks that it would not have been voted on at all. Hmmm. Interesting. Don't get me wrong, I am just as drawn to the Koigu as the next person:)

In third place we have a sweater using Rowan Plaid with 19 votes. I did start a swatch with this yarn on Friday night at my knit group because it was just too tempting.

This yarn feels so soft, and it feels huge at 3 stitches to the inch. Click here to see those giant stitches on my arm.

Here's an image from the book of the sweater that I chose. The only thing that I would be changing is the neck. I want it to split like this one.

I have more to share, but I need to get this posted and head to the dentist. My favorite place.
