Inspired Cycling Cap

An old land's end button up shirt, some ribbons... could this be the next cycling cap?

2011 iPhone cleaning - Found photos...

Goodwill run.

Tear...

Mail waiting for my sister.

Confusion.

I found a mustache. I found a brick. I give you: Mr. Brickerton.

Oregon City, from the top of the city elevator. Sunset. August.

Invisible Bike-man. Milwaukie, Oregon.

Piiiiiiieeee

Ground. 32 degrees outside. Oregon. No rain. December. I'm loving these colors...

APEX beer. A little homework. A little visit with friends. Perfect early fall day.

Landscape Inspiration

Springwater Corridor trail in SE Portland.

Sunset over the bridges in Portland.

The docks in San Francisco on a bonus day.

Hop country North of Salem, Oregon. Biking to a wedding.

Farm Country. Tree with cut out. Making way for the infrastructure.

Beginning of 25th Birthday Hike, a 33-mile trek from Sauvie's Island to the Portland Zoo through Forrest Park. Beautiful. I lost a toenail.

...mile 5. Sunrise in September. One of the hottest weeks of the year. In the forrest, it was ten degrees cooler.

Sunset from my office desk. I want a dress these colors.

Lunch in an alpine field in Denali, AK. July. Beautiful back country. WAY too many mosquitos. 132 bites.

Goldilocks Hat

After three tries (one too small, one too large, and one just right) of this Interweave Knit fair isle cap, it felt so good to slide this over my braids and walk about, proud of the final accomplishment taking a little over a year, here and there... Then it got into my dirty laundry.

Now it's destined to be a beer cozy...

Potential labels for hand-made presents

The inspiration came from some ready-made labels, but with the new machine, I had to do it myself (and put a colorful twist on the forever-O...)

I can't wait for the post-Christmas-present-making recovery...

I'm not quite through all the pieces I intended to make for family and friends this Christmas. I should have penciled in more than a month and a half to make 20 gifts... lesson learned.

Super-uber-chunky cowl... DONE. (My own pattern)

Beginning of a simple fair isle hat... (My own pattern)

Chunky cable hat... DONE.

Preparing another skein to knit...

this hat was among the first to get finished.

Among the presents not quite finished, but getting there...

Next year, I need to come up with a better game plan...
