A family friend broke her shoulder while playing capture the flag as a sponsor at a church youth group on New Year's morning:-( Since then she has been staying with us while she heals, and this last week she was able to go back to work with various members of our household driving her there and back. After driving her to work one frosty, foggy, morning, I drove out to Jonsrud viewpoint to see how Mt. Hood was fairing in the fog...and then took the first photo closer to home.
All day today I have been wearing the merino cowl hood I finished yesterday. I have really appreciated its warmth because it has been very frosty and cold here......brrrreautiful :-) I used malabrigo merino worsted wool in the 228 SNOW BIRD colorway. I found the cowl pattern here.
Whether your part of the world is hot or cold or somewhere in-between, I hope you have a happy week, and if you capture the flag I hope you do so without injury to anyone :-)
Are you making any sort of hearts?

Gracie

Your cowl looks so soft and warm. I've never made one of those. I fear I would look like a turtle who forgot to stick his head out. I have a round face and a short neck. The photos of Mt. Hood are beautiful. How nice to live so close to something this beautiful.

Hi Gracie! Your cowl turned out almost as beautiful as you are! The color is perfect for you. If I remember right, that is the viewing area you took me to see. What a gorgeous picture with the fog below. You have great photos of Mt. Hood.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week my friend.
Blessings,

That is such a beautiful cowl Gracie. y friend made me one for christmas and I wear it all the time. They are far more snug and comfy than scarfs in the bitter cold.

I love Jonsrud Viewpoint and these photos are gorgeous!!! Wow--I have got to get out there sometimes when we have a bit of fog!

Seeing photos of Mt. Hood is always a treat for me. I had to google Jonsrud Viewpoint to know your exact location for photographing it. The cowl looks cozy and warm--even here where it's warmer, I often wear a cowl knitted from bamboo and cotton.
ReplyDeleteWowsers! Once again the photo's of Mt Hood are awesome...as is your cowl :) I hope you have a great week x x
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures of Mt Hood! What an amazing place you live in Gracie! Your new cowl is perfect for this chilly weather!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a happy day!

Mt Hood looks so majestic and lonely, rising from the sea of fog in that second photo. Beautiful. Your cowl looks so cozy and I do think red is your color.
ReplyDeleteGracie, I just love your photos of Mt. Hood... it does tug at my heartstrings in a very particular way! How good of you to take care of your friend who had that unfortunate accident.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and that cowl is wonderful! I love cowl knitting. They are so quick and satisfying a knit.
