Okay - so I've finished two things - here's my Meathead hat - I'm not sure if Larissa is going to consider it for her book as I just posted it to Flickr today - I had a hard time with my "old" camera and getting Flickr to work since I'm a newbie there!! I also COMPLETED WALKING the St. Jude Half-Marathon - note WALKING - I'm not a runner at all. I was not the last to finish but I was close and considering I'm 51 I don't think that's too bad! We figured we actually walked 15 miles by the time we walked from the Trolley to AutoZone Park and then all the way around the block to get to the last "corral" which was for the slow runners and walkers. Got a Blister but it didn't pop. I'm a little sore and tired BUT DAMN IT - I finished - can ya' tell I'm just way too proud about this!!
Meathead
and MEDAL!!
I love the meathead - great pattern, knits up easy and I'm rather happy with the embellishment I chose. That's brown sheep bulky doubled in Bronze Patina with Limeade, Kiwi, Lotus Pink and RPM Pink inthe embellishment. I tried a little shibori for the berries - they're not perfect but not bad for a first timer I think - and the green is pleated and felted. I also love the medal - very heavy, silver with blue ribbon - the full marathoners' got a gold medal with red ribbon. It was extra cold for Memphis on Saturday but all in all it was a GREAT DAY!
Rob - Molly, Sadie and Lucy say, "what's up mom? why no ball throwing Saturday afternoon? we were ready to PLAY!!"
I like the colors you chose for your meathead. Thanks for your comment. Last week, I gave the bag to one of my Korean friends. I kept telling myself, It's better to give than receive.
