Knitting

 Jelly roll cowl was the last project off the needles in 2015.  I purchased the kit in Seattle, it was cleverly packaged in a mini loaf pan, listing ingredients like a food item.  a colorful quick knit.

Imagine When is the first project off the needles in 2016.  The yarn was purchased at KnitFit! in Seattle at the LOTH booth.  It is an asymmetric shawl in gradient colors.  The yarn booth has a multi-sided tower with all different gradient groups on poles in rows. They had a sample of this pattern knit up, too.  We starting referring to the yarn on the stick or pole.  It was a challenge to choose a color grouping, I did only choose one.  This was a fairly easy knit and was like a good book, that you didn't want to end. 
I love colors.  Colors gives me energy.  I love putting different combinations together.  Both of these projects, the colors were already put together.

Cousins

There are some of the cousins on my Dad's side of the family.  Photo was taken at a cousin's memorial service in Arizona.  My brother made a quick trip, I stayed a couple days longer.  I was hoping for a December weather break, but it was around 50 degrees and some rain on 3 of the days.
