But lots of snacks and videos saved the day :)<br /></div><br /><div>Sunriver was beautiful- we biked and swam. warm weather and no bugs. The house we stayed in was gorgeous- and my family really seemed to enjoy having a full week with the boys and seeing how they had grown. tristan did have an accident and a trip to the ER after he rode his little car off the porch and did a face plant into the asphalt. Blood everywhere and a very terrified mama! He has since recovered...we'll see if the tooth survives (fingers crossed).</div><div><br /> </div><div>After a week and a half with no knitting and no dyeing ( only reading the Twilight series lol) I finally got back into the swing of things with some customs and some yarn for our stocking tomorrow on Hyena Cart. All the 'choco rainbows' are customs (some on Plumknit cashmerino- yummy) and the 'elliot' and 'ella elephant' will go on sale.<br /></div><div><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_y_K-4eoI4k8/SJtnJCbFT4I/AAAAAAAAAEE/ryOQVEWYzss/s1600-h/091.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231888797087911810" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_y_K-4eoI4k8/SJtnJCbFT4I/AAAAAAAAAEE/ryOQVEWYzss/s320/091.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1349070320697867947-57840158852257648?l=westernskyknits.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05865506862960861085noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349070320697867947.post-36201851483905748342008-07-21T20:39:00.001-07:002008-12-08T16:23:39.734-08:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_y_K-4eoI4k8/SIVWulwXxMI/AAAAAAAAAC8/BEF1bYxNESg/s1600-h/033.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225678301042296002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_y_K-4eoI4k8/SIVWulwXxMI/AAAAAAAAAC8/BEF1bYxNESg/s320/033.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Finally finished all the coop yarn- some of it needs to be wound still and some trims + one skein of sock yarn are missing from the photo (but it is all finally dyed).</div><div> </div><div></div><div>I also finished the 'red mountain' shorties.
