    Q’s feature!

    Hello, hello! As you may have noticed the Bison Log has gotten some real attention. Who would have thought this when I sent in a picture of Quince up at Hurricane Ridge(photo below) he would be part of their newsletter. To make a long story short, after I sent in this photo, I received an…

  • Hmm, I wonder

    Hmm, I wonder

    Well, I started on the second triangle of my wingspan mini shawl. I’m not sure I even did it right but I followed the directions and now have this weird offshoot part. Hopefully I have done it right and it will all turn out. I’m glad that it is an easy to work with yarn,…

  • The “hahahahaa” heard across the room

    The “hahahahaa” heard across the room

    Some time ago Quince decided that my ipod touch was meant for him. He claimed it and I have rarely seen it since. I am still allowed to use it when we go on a walk and I play music with it but generally speaking that’s it. On this ipod, we have added a few…

  • A sign of getting older

    We made the choice to change the orientation of Quince’s carseat from rear facing to forward. Why you ask? Well, the answer is quite simple. First, our car seat was made before the new recommendation and thus not technically designed to extend rear face. Second, he was kicking the seat back with so much force…

  • Short row fun

    Short row fun

    Oct 31 – Ta-da, my finished washcloth. Not sure what I did there at the top to get one aide shorter but overall I would call this a learning success. Here’s my almost finished short row learning project, taken form as a washcloth! I have to say, I really like doing these. More than once…

    Lost in a sea of apples

    As some of you may know the weather for the Olympic Peninsula these last few months has been amazing! There has been very little rain and a whole lot of sun. Yes, that three letter word that starts with an “s” and ends with “n”. Typically, not something Western Washington is known of having. This…

  • Pattern testing update!

    Pattern testing update!

    Here’s my “in progress” picture for you guys. This is the 4th time I’ve started this project since my friend asked if I would test a pattern for her. The first two times were frogged due to my gauge being quite off from what was suggested in the pattern. While the third one was frogged…

  • Pattern testing

    Just earlier this week I was asked to if I would help test a pattern. This is something totally new for me! I meant OhCamels(as she goes by on ravelry) at our local yarn store, Cabled Fiber Studio, she’s the youngest person working there and amazingly talented at needle crafts. This last week her and…

  • There and back again, Arizona style

    There and back again, Arizona style

    As some of you may know, our family has taken to driving to Arizona and back. Our drive down takes us along I5 until Los Angeles, the across. While the return trip we go to Grand Canyon, Utah and Yellowstone before cutting through Montana for the trip home. Total we will have gone around 3000…
