We have accumulated much more than normal snowpack in the mountains this year; it is great news for the farmers. And we always need the moisture, as we're trying to revive from about 10 years of drought conditions. The only drawback is that the spring run-off can result in flooding in some areas. So, let's hope the temperature warms up slowly and flooding conditions do not become destructive. The whole county will be keeping an eye on this.
I found a dishcloth pattern I thought would work nicely for making a placemat-sized knitted project for the cotton yarn from kathy b. Thanks, Kathy!!! I decided on the pattern and thought this would be a nice tuck & go project. It turns out I have to count every stitch! I made a huge mistake at one point and had to frog back about 4 rows! Dang! But, I did it and have not made a mistake since. So, I think I've got the hang of it, and I should be able to knit and visit...if I'm careful.
Oh, you have made great progress on the mat. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of the mountains and all that new snow.
I like it! Yay for snowpack. I'm not sure where we're at now, except that it has improved greatly in late winter. Odd year….
ReplyDeleteOh Nancy… I LOVE the texture and it will make a great placemat!!! I need an easier pattern and I'll make some too. Any thoughts…what is that pattern called. So happy you are enjoying that fun yarn
ReplyDeleteThat looks like the perfect pattern for a table mat. Love that color.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color and pattern for the mat. Kind of warms up that snowpack out there. Wish we had more snow here.
