Little Sheep Yoke Cardigan!

I am browsing this morning waiting for the IOWA Hawkeyes to play...and look what I've found...!!!!

http://lookingglassknits.blogspot.com/2007/10/sheep-yoke-baby-cardigan-pattern.html

I absolutely love this and am going to make it! The sheep are just darling! I've started collecting a few sheep ornaments since I'm knitting more than quilting. Thanks to Jen for this pattern on her blog.

Go HAWKS!! The Hawks were victorious and the 'pig' has been returned to IOWA from Minnesota!!

Also, the Regina Regals were victorious and proceed farther into the state semifinals!!

I just read a very interesting article on the Lion Brand Yarn site from a woman who lives here in Iowa City and knits for veterans!

Volunteering @ Regina!

I went to the annual Carver-Hawkeye craft bazaar w/Susan- bought 'knit' Santa #3!! Since I knit more now, I'm always looking for Santas who KNIT!!!! I still want to take some old sweaters and make Christmas stockings from them-I love recycling! I'm volunteering now @ Regina HS to help the counselor w/filing. It is one of those jobs that needs to be done, takes a lot of time and always gets 'put on the back burner'...plus some typing when it comes up. She emailed me that just knowing I'm helping do some things she doesn't have time for has relieved some of her stress, both mentally and physically. That makes ME feel great!
