Morning in East Tennessee

Morning in East Tennessee

This morning is quiet. Not the normal flurry of activity that most people experience between the hours of 6:30 and 10:00 AM. Of course, I never have a flurry of activity at this hour, I’m usually still asleep. But with dad heading off to work early, and mom staying up all night with an injured furbaby, I figured I coud get up early and let her get some sleep this morning. So now its just me, the sleeping furbabies, Breakfast -

And my Works in Progress. 

Remember the sweater I was knitting? The green one? I finally finished the body, and I’m working on one sleeve. Really!

The yarn is double stranded Vanna’s Choice, in Olive. In reality it’s a little more gold and mossy. Pattern is “Topsecret” from knitty.

I tried to finish this before the FCE thing 2 weeks ago, but no dice.  I got partway through the skirt before I quit for the night, not to pick it up again till today.

 

So, a couple of weeks ago, I was lacking in having a project to work on saturday. Sooo I dug through my book ollection, and my yarn stash. Pattern + Yarn =

 

Yes its a blue knitted tie.

So?

Also, FCE Prizes.

Tatting – First place.

 

An apron I did – second place. This was made from bluejeans.

 

And the tawney owl hat and mittens.

 

Now I need to get shit done for the fair.

 

EDIT: I just wanted to add this, cus I forgot earlier.
