another row done, i’m running out of interesting things to say about this project..
monumental
i needed to take pictures of a monument in my hometown for the esk yarnathon but i don’t live in a town, and i didn’t want to post where i actually live, so i am starting a series of pictures within driving distance instead.
in all these pictures meg is wearing a hat made from esk yarn last year, a cowl made this year and a jacket made from one of my first orders made back in 2010…
here are the first three…
milk river ab
commemorates the fact that many dinosaur fossils were found in this area, digs are still going on
vulcan ab no explanation needed i trust? this is my dh’s home town!
this is a stagecoach marking the site of the only stagecoach robbery in alberta history
feb 14
the rows are getting longer and now take over a week
meg’s new cowl
i made a new cowl for meg and i love how this one came out. it was kind of a pain to knit, linen stitch on 1.5mm needles (i was using the wrong length for most of it too) but in the end it was worth it. i like this one so much i want to order more yarn and size it up for me!
i’m not sure she was super impressed with me for not clearing the snow off the stump before i had her sit down though

got to use some of my colder temps this row
temperature blanket day 28
after a surprising number of above zero temps at the beginning of the month, i am now seeing more cold temps and this week stayed in the blues, dipping into the purples overnight
temperature blanket day 21
three weeks in and i’m still on track.
temperature blanket day 15
it progresses.
just over two weeks in
temperature blanket day 10
decided i would post this every time i finish a row. that means it will be pretty often at the start, not so fast as the rows get longer..
so this is day 10 done. i like it so far. though it will need a really good blocking when it’s done i think
