I finally finished the “Every Which Way” wrap. Sorry, no modeling pictures, maybe Gary will help me later.

It seemed to take forever. Certainly my largest cable project to date.

The yarn is Cherry Tree Hill potluck worsted – remember when they had their own bag sales and you only picked the color family and the weight, and they shipped you …. something? Yeah, it’s that old. It’s a mix of greens and very warm.

The buttons came from some vendor at Hemlock this year, I am not sure who. The pattern is Interweave Knits Fall 2009.

The whole time I knit it, this movie (and its song) were on my mind. Now you can have the ear worm too! (Besides, I loves me some Clint!)

Review:
Every Which Way Wrap

From Interweave Knits Fall 2009

Yarn: Cherry Tree Hill Potluck worsted “Jeweltones”

Be sure to check errata before you start from the pattern in the magazine; the chart is wrong.

Last month we dropped off pigs at the butcher. We went to a place in Pennsylvania (Bryan’s Meat Cutting in Smithfield if you’re curious) and they have a nice storefront with lots of cut and cured meats for sale, seasonings and sauces, frozen veggies, and apparently, cheese.

They had these round pine boxes for sale that used to contain cheddar cheese. They were $2 each and I thought at the time I must get these, I will come up with a use for them someday!

Unfortunately I have yet to come up with a crafty idea. For now they make great entertainment for the chickens!

If you have any ideas, please let me know!

Meanwhile I will leave you with this picture of scrapple, the largest amount I have ever seen in one package. (Definition of scrapple)

Yesterday, I took advantage of the nice fall day to take some stash pictures. This skein is from Hazel Knits October Sock Club (I know, another sock club!) and the colorway is “Cascade Canopy.” It’s so pretty. The green just glows.

Here is the other skein. This color is “Path To The Peaks.” The wind blew that bottom leaf right on top of the yarn just as I snapped, I thought it was perfect.

I quickly had an audience!

No one was sure what I was doing, or more importantly, if it involved food.

Everyone had to take a look.

Even Murphy, and he’s an old pro.
