PurpleMoose prototype
My first pattern is complete and I’ve knitted up the prototype. Made some changes even as I was knitting - and, I am not totally happy with it yet. Daughter, Ladybug, tells me that I am a perfectionist - and then she asked me for the cloth - nope, not yet. I am still studying on it.
this just shows the color - when I use the flash on the camera the color goes all wonky - so, while the whole pattern doesn’t show very well, you can at least see the moosie’s head here. Cute, huh?
Here’s the whole cloth, including the words. If you look closely (like I do in all my perfectionistic self) you’ll notice that the last “e” in Purple doesn’t have the center crossbar. Yah, I don’t know WHERE my head was when I knitted that row.
Oh . . . maybe I do . . .

Way to go, Sarah! You made Alaska proud last night.
In other news . . . the Big Sock is still in Colorado, but is coming to my house next! I received an email yesterday asking me where all it would be once it arrives in Alaska.
Welllllllll, I’m working on that. I have one place for sure in Anchorage that will host it - the Knitting Grounds will keep it over two Friday nights for their Friday Night Knitting group. Maybe this way I will get to join in on the fun of a Friday night with this diverse group of knitters. (I’m looking forward to that!)
I hope to also have the sock hosted at Far North Knitters for their different knitting groups - haven’t contacted them yet.
Down here on the Kenai . . . there are a couple of places I hope will set up a table for it - and I will be taking it to our Saturday morning knitters to work on as well.
Hey! I live in Alaska - I make my own fun.

[...] a way to have some fun as well. I sent to two swap partners this time - and each got one of my PurpleMoose cloths I’ve made three of them so far - the one you see at that post and the two I sent out for the [...]
