Sample, Sample!

I seem to be working full time on samples for Backyard Fiberworks.  Here is the finished Spotlight.  Luckily, Alice likes to block and weave in ends.  Which is a good thing because I can wait over a year to do that. LOL!

Meanwhile I did finish this hat and started on a shawl.

http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/astrea-hat  I've made 4 of these hats.  I should know the pattern by now but manage to mess up with each one!

I've had the yarn wound up for this shawl for a long time.  JulieSpins Vera Fingering in Pansies and Ruby.  I haven't gotten tot he Ruby part yet. http://www.ravelry.com/projects/AtPlayWithFiber/carson

After 2 years, I'm finally getting somewhere with this shrug.  I've been watching Netflix at night and needed something simple to knit on in the dark and watching.  I had rows and rows of just knitting and purling.  Now I need to pick up stitches and knit the body.

4th Annual Easter Egg Hunt!!

I think its my 3rd year or maybe 4th year playing this hunt.  It's so much fun even if you don't win anything but for the past 2 years Romi has been very generous and giving everyone a pattern!  This year she broke it into 3 time periods so International knitters could have a chance.  She has one grand prize ($30 worth of patterns), two First prize ($20 worth of patterns), three Second prizes ($10 worth of patterns) and then unlimited free patterns (up to $6.50)!!  Everyone should at least get a pattern.  I'm a big fan of hers.  I have 3 of her books and many of her patterns.  I managed to win a pattern the first round and then scored the first prize this morning!!  The next round is at 4PM PDT.  Good luck!!  http://rosemarygoround.blogspot.com/2015/04/there-is-easter-egg-hunting.html
