Hello from our Nation's Capitol.
Well, that is if you are American, if not, please, lets pretend I am lucky enough to live in Rome or London. I would rather be knitting by a fountain in either of those cities.
The moral of the story is, that is my vacation life, not real life, in real life, I enjoy on a not-to-hot summers evening to walk over to a fountain near to the Capitol building and knit in the shade. Its fun to people watch (I always have to remind myself what I must look like as a tourist) and enjoy some down time.
I was contemplating what I wanted to do for the upcoming DC State Fair. If you didn't go last year, do it this year. It was great. They had a petting zoo for the kiddies, or the more whimsical adults. Pie baking contest, but the prize that I've got my eye on in the Arts and Crafts Ribbons. I am determined to win for knitting and crochetingI have had this goal since last year, and let me tell you, the competition is fierce. Honey badger fierce.
So after I finished my Death Flake Mitts, I knew what I had to do. DC inspire mittens. Color-work no less. In the flags colors.
Right now I am working on my chart and I am hoping to start swatching the design out by the end of the week.
The project page is up on Ravelry.com, if anyone wants to take a gander.
