Birthday at the Coast-Stash Knit Down Part-3

Our friends John and Clare took us crabbing at Cascade Head for our Birthday (my husband and I share a Birthday). It was absolutely gorgeous and we caught 3 keeper Dungeness Crab.
The most impressive part is we did it all from a canoe, who knew that was possible?


We made a lovely Crab Louis Salad for dinner and enjoyed it thoroughly.


I finished my Owls sweater and have been enjoying wearing it in this brisk Fall weather. I'm still sewing the pearl buttons on as it's a tedious process. I will post some modeled photos when I get some.


Morgan performing another tedious (but worthwhile process). Yummy crab meat!

Recession Stash Bust 2009-Episode 2

I thought I better get some decent pictures before I stretch it all out. I have been wearing it every chance I get. It is so soft and snuggly and the color is so much fun!

Pattern: Wicked
Yarn: Dream in Color Classy in Ruby River

I bought this yarn over a year ago at a store closing sale. I'm almost done with my second sweater from stash yarn this year. I'm so glad I stocked up when I could. More info here for Ravelry users.

FO Purple Raglan Sweater

I finally finished the dang thing on Friday. Those small balls of yarn created SO many ends to weave in. I brought it with me to see The Police and it was chilly enough to wear it!

It has been VERY hot however to model for photos in the daylight hours! I braved it but the photos are not the best due to the circumstances.

My helpful Photographer(and spouse)

It is a very simple pattern and a very basic sweater, nonetheless I am quite happy with the way it turned out because it fits and is very comfy. I can hardly wait for Fall so I can wear it!
I found this very satisfying to knit, excepting the very end when I had to drag the almost finished thing around in the heat.
My inclination is to start another sweater but I think I better look to some of my snoozing UFOs or unfinished/unmated socks first.

Happy Summer Sunday!
