Snow on the Mountains

These two pictures were the first we've seen of the mountains in about three days! I took these about an hour ago, and now the mountains are again covered in clouds!


Pattern: Utopia, from Smariek Knits.
Yarn: Lamb's Pride Bulky; color - blue flannel; 1 and 1/4 skeins.
Alterations: Made the bottom rib longer and used #9 needles.
Notes: I had the yarn in my stash, but had to go buy another whole skein to finish the hat! And to tickle your funny bone, I started another pair of Fetchings, and am going to have to buy another skein to finish those! This all started with stash yarn!!

This hat is great! I love this pattern! With the bulky yarn and the smaller than suggested needles, this hat is warm and toasty! And rain-proof too!

Rain, rain, rain In June!!!!

Just had to show you guys this. Rain on my sidewalk at 3:30 in the afternoon in June!! The flash went off when I took this, that's how dark it is right now. I know, most of you are going, rain in June, so what...but let me tell you, it hasn't rained like this here in the desert since probably about February or March (if even). I can't remember the last time we had this much rain in the afternoon. Since I took the picture, it hasn't stopped!!!!

Right now it's so loud I can't even hear the dryer on behind me!

Have a great one guys!!!
