So, while looking for the perfect baby shower present for Carla, I found
this pattern, and fell in love. There are lots that have been made and pictures posted - here are the two of the first that caught my attention:
Mind you, I am still not the best at following a pattern exactly, so about the fifth row or so of mine I deviated from yarndiva's pattern some.
The yarn is from Hobby Lobby, and is seventy something percent bamboo - and I adore it, as does Carla. Must get more!

Hi Renee, I found your blog when looking for people who like to read books. I wrote "Outcasts Of Skagaray" because I felt strongly about certain issues and wanted to resolve them in creative fiction. The book takes the form of a fantasy adventure which you can preview by going to www.threeswans.com and reading the sample chapters. My blog is http://threeswans.blogspot.com if you want to visit. I would love it if you read and enjoyed the book. Whatever happens however, best wishes.
Hi Renee. Catching up on your posts this morning (while in a posh posh Four Seasons hotel room in Palo Alto, waiting for my son to wake up). Yup, I like you in the blue hair.
How did you get this effect for your photo?
Hi Andrew - thanks for stopping by!
Doug :) I selected Carla and the afghan, feathered the edge of the selection, inverted it, upped the lightness, used a gaussian blue, and applied a sumi-e filter. Possibly in that order LOL. My original goal was to obscure the other people a bit, without making the background dizzy and sick-making. Mostly, I experiment, and jkeep the changes I like, so it can be a little hard for me to remember what all I did do. I'm pretty sure about all of those elements being the ones I used and kept, though.
Gurrly Gurl!!
It is almost November!
We should talk.
Or at least email.
Love ya!!
