April 27 :: .Ben has found just the right friend to
play duck with : )
Finished my map panel last night. I intend to sew
these 2 together before another photo. In the end there is meant
to be a crocheted edge around the blanket, I'm having a bit of
trouble believing that will keep the edges from rolling under.
p.s. There are now 2 more pages to the April photo gallery of my little bit of the
world

April 22 :: finally had a mapping day. You can't see them,
but the very first stitches of Alaska happened before bed. I
don't have the nerve to show it close-up...but here also is the
backside. Next week I hope to be starting on panel #3. Africa,
here I come

April 19 :: .Here are Benjamin's duck feet. I tried in vain
to get Shadow to model them. Sometimes she has no sense of humor.
I have not had my fair share of knitting time this past little
while; hoping to sit back down with map before the day is done.

| April 15 :: Llamas dressed up for
my knitting arrival in Peru : ) now, I am working my way up through
Central America. Karl recomends the book " The Path between
the Seas" by David McCullough. It is a history of the Panama
Canal. |
|
April14 :: compass and lower points of panel 1 :: next comes
30 rows of the beautiful ocean until I reach Peru. If I were
a traveler, I would want to meet this place where such beautiful
yarn comes from.
Favorite news of the week is that Benjamin has taken up laughing.
Complete heart melter xo

| April12 :: Panel 2 posing :: I
meant to take a bit of a break and finish the organic cotton
Astrid, which has only 3/4 of one sleeve and a collar to go,
instead, I twirled around once and started the points for panel
one. There's a compass on the bottom third. |
