"I started photographing my domestic world and writing not just about what I had made,
but why I made it, examining the thoughts that accompany creativity and the act of making."

Winter Project Link Party At Thistlebear: November

 I am so excited that Jennifer organized this Link Party, and I decided to try to participate!  After a month I can see that I am making progress on my three main projects. In fact, I got out my measuring tape and measured the width of my blue Super Blanket.  The finished width is supposed to be 56" and I have 26" inches completed so far :)  That means I am almost half way done!  Woohoo!  The blanket is big enough now that it helps keep me warm when I am working on it.
 Keeping warm is becoming more important to me as the weather is sliding from Fall toward Winter and I am noticing more and more snow on Mt. Hood when it peeks out under the clouds.  It is sporting a thicker and thicker blanket of glorious white snow. [I stopped at 232nd and 212 to snap these photos on the way home from a meeting Nov. 6th]
When I tried on my Ruby Shawl  today the tip of the shawl is at my waist so I will soon start crocheting the ruffle. It will be wonderful when the shawl can keep my shoulders warm instead of my lap :)

The baby blanket I am knitting had a bit of set back when I had to rip out some rows this week, but it is getting bigger.

How are your projects coming along?

Cheering you on,
