What a month it's been here in Oregon~
My brother, who just graduated from college, has been with us all this time, enjoying the wonders that this fabulous state has to offer.
Here are just a few examples of what we've been up to:
- made Oregon Grape Jelly from this nifty tutorial
- went to the Oregon Country Fair and got to see Hot Buttered Rum!!
- attended Da Vinci Days
- went to a couple BBQs (thanks Celeste, you guys are the best!! :) )
- started house hunting...and maybe even found something!! (details coming soon~)
- saw what our local skaters could do at the Annual Sk8r Bash
- watched a lot of evening baseball games of the local Richey's Market team
- and one Corvallis Knights game!
- went blueberry picking
- cooked lots of meals at home and listened to lots of Thomas the Tank Engine music
And now I'm sitting in my sister's apartment down in Santa Clara, where we've come to visit for the weekend. :)
Through it all, I've still been able to get some crafting in and was able to finish this just in time to keep up my one-a-month knitting project goal.
Behold, my rainbow stool cover!!
Using the pattern from One Skein and drawing from plenty of inspiration from fellow Ravelry users' interpretations, I made this pretty little number.
(Details on my Ravelry projects page)
I somehow didn't use up all my yarn scraps, I am hoping to make a second one to fit the other stool we have! How darling it will be to have two matching rainbow-ified stools!!!
'Til then, happy knitting~!!!
