This will be a short update. I knew these weeks would be hectic, but I still have a bit of progress to report!
1. Ashley Cowl: After spending a considerable amount of time carefully unraveling every stitch because my attempts at corrections failed, I can finally say that I am off to a solid start. Furthermore, given our rather hectic pace, working with yarn can be incredibly soothing.

2. Rachel Reinert’s Color Workshop: I completed her colorless blender project. I’m learning a great deal about layering colors that I wouldn’t necessarily have thought to mix. Very eye opening. (That said, I’m not happy with this photo. The lighting is terrible, but needs must.)

3. WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge: This week the challenge topic was “Tour Guide,” and I took a nice shot of Mt. Baring in the Cascades that form the backdrop to our home.
Sometimes, it feels like progress here is so very slow, especially while I’m unraveling a few inches of cowl. Still, I feel that I am learning, and, given the others demands in my life, I’m doing fairly well. So, bring on the next week!
Nice effects with that colorless blender! I’ll have to try it.
What does colorless blender mean? It’s a dilution pen and you draw the color out from another part? I like the flowers.
Thanks! You are thinking of Chameleon pens possibly? No, definitely not that. This is a wooden pencil that seems to be filled with a semi-clear wax-like substance.
