They call her Morgan

Today we drove around the country roads in this little thing. How cute is she? I say we but it was really Frost who drove her.



I also managed to finish my Mary Ella bracelet. I have forgotten my flickr id and password so I can't load up photos into ravelry until we are back home-bollocks



Time line:
Beads were strung onto the yarn January 23rd, 2008
Casted On: January 24th, 2008
Bound Off: February 3rd, 2008

Needles: 1.25mm
Yarn: King Cable Due
Beads: European Seed Beads, from Arton Beads
Mods: Row 7 of pattern called for a yo and a k2together. I omitted this from the bracelet as it was too hard to do with such small needles and thicker yarn. I also had to use a 2.25mm dpn to bound off as i couldn't get the first stitch to jump over the next one.




I still have the crochet edge to do, in order to finish baby Mina's blanket, however instead of doing that I have started the Woodland shawl. One needs at least two wip's on the go at any one time. I am not sure of the colours in the Ruby Sapphire Yarn I am using, so may not get very far with the project. As well since I don't have a bloody clue as to what SKP means, I am in a bit of a pickle at only row 3. SKP Anyone? Anyone?

EDIT: No worries found it on my own SKP slip, knit, pass: slip one stitch, knit the next stitch, pass the slipped stitch over the knit one-Hurrah!

Today was 10 degrees. Not much sun as it's sprinkled a bit this afternoon but much better than the snow storm we left in.

Miss you too!

p.s.
Here's some Doctor Who silliness, sadly lacking that hunky David Tennant, but still fun:
