Hey!  Look what I managed to get done last week!   It’s an almost-finished Stellar’s Jay Sweater!

Isn’t it amazing what you can get done when you only bring one project on a week-long car trip?

My husband and I spent the week driving up the Oregon Coast.  Well, mostly he drove, and I knit (because I’m a rather nervous driver, especially on those twisty-turny roads).  The Oregon coast is absolutely gorgeous!  If you live within a three-state radius of Oregon, make sure you visit.  There are lush redwood forests, beautiful rocky cliffs teeming with sea birds, gray whales and sea lions frolicking in the ocean, and tide pools full of neon green sea anemones.  It’s a magical place.

Unfortunately, right about when we made it back up to Portland, I ran out of yarn!  That’s why there’s a rather large chunk missing between my left elbow and shoulder.  It’s not me being avant-garde, it’s me being bad at ordering enough yarn to finish a project.

I’ve put the order in, and you’d better believe that as soon as that package hits my front door, I’ll grab my needles and finish up my soon-to-be favorite sweater!
