Out of Yarn

Okay, I signed up for the WIP Wrestling and now I have run out of yarn for the project. I ordered 1 more skein but it won't be here before the Olympics is over. I am more than halfway through the border. So obviously I don't qualify for a medal. I wasn't doing the event for a medal but just challenging myself to get the afghan done. Once the yarn gets here I will definitely finish. I want it to be a present for the holiday season.

Ravelympics

I have signed up on Ravelry about a week ago to do projects while watching the olympics. I have decided to join Team WIP. I am going to try and finish the Tree of Life Afghan.



I am on the second repeat of the trees. I've been working on it a little here and there. I would love to gift this to one of the parents for Christmas but will see. I do like it a lot!

Baby Kara Anne

I don't have any pictures to show, but wanted to let everyone know she is here.

She was born around 6:30 a.m. Thursday, July 31st. She was just under 9 pounds (according to my mom).

I hope to get pics this coming Saturday when we have our family picnic. I hope she will get alot of use out of the things I made her.
