First off, thanks so much for all the wonderful birthday wishes. It was a fabulous day!!
I’m very happy to say that our cousin in Texas is alive and well and her house is still standing. She and we have no idea how that is possible but it is. There is damage of course but it’s there.
My SIL is doing very well and seems to have made relative peace with her decision about her wedding. I think when a person knows in their heart that their making the right choice even if it is a hard one there is relief. And she is definitely relieved. Sad but relieved.
And guess what… the Yorkies have been adopted. I got an email from their foster mom a few mornings ago and she was getting ready to drop them off at their new home.
Last but not least…Fall is here yall!!! And a very happy one to everyone. This is my absolute favorite time of the year as you will see over the next couple of months with lots of foliage shots. I’m apologizing in advance. Now I say we welcome it with a little knitting, which I feel I’ve been neglecting lately. Here’s my Tapestry Cowl, so far. Just a little something to look at.
I can’t stress enough how awesome this project is. Double Knitting is not a fast technique but the results are so worth the effort.
Isn’t that cast on the purtiest thing you’ve ever seen…
The temperature is dropping…time to get this one done and around my neck.
Can’t you just hardly wait to get a copy of M’Lou Baber’s book in about 6-7 weeks when it is ‘hot off the press’? Her double knitted garments are just’ fantastical’. You’ll love your cowl, I know.
Seriously, the cowl is g.o.r.g.e.o.u.s!!!!! I’m loving it. I can’t say that I wanted to knit the cowl that badly until I saw yours, now I’m all over it like my kids are over a bag of m&m’s.
Glad to hear everybody is doing well.
I’m going to go out on a limb here…
That is my favorite knitted item you have ever made.
Which is saying alot, because I adore most everything that comes off your needles.
An earthtones girl was meant to create and wear exactly that. Well done!
Looking forward to playing on Friday!

Happy Birthday late, just found you.
I’m wanting to learn double knitting. Have a few wonderful afghan patterns calling. I just can’t seem to find how to instructions that are easy to grasp.
Don’t know what my mental block is, as I have taught myself some pretty complicated things.
great update and glad to hear everyone is hanging in there and doing well. the cowl….GORGEOUS!!! love, love, love it.
GREAT class last night. You made me feel like a real knitta!
That is the purtiest cast on I have ever seen!
I found your blog through Ravelry. I love this cowl and ordered it, thanks! I have never done double knitting before but it looks wonderful. We seem to like the same colors! Fall colors for me.
