rain

Rain, rain, go away . . .

It has been raining forever and our back yard is flooding.  The sump pump has been cycling on and off all day but it still looks like this in the back yard.

I’m afraid to look in the crawl space under the house.  The 10 day forcast has it raining until next Monday. bleck!  I usually don’t mind the rain but this isn’t the usual Seattle drizzle, this is real, blattering, down pour, get drenched walking to the mailbox, rain.

cables

pattern: Cables dishcloth for the Monthly Dishcloth KAL
yarn:  Fantasy Naturale (from stash)
needles:  US7 Clover Bamboo
started/finished:  Jan 27
notes:  This was a quick knit and the cable twist was something I had never done before, I think I would like to make a sweater for my daughter in the future with this stitch pattern.  I did make a few modifications to the pattern.  I made the cloth smaller, just a personal preference, and I added a garter stitch border to the sides instead of just on the top and bottom.ÂÂ
