Camping at Kellogg Creek

I love camping!

In Boy Scouts, for every event, there is a rose and there is a thorn.



~

I'll start with my personal thorn. (:

This is the trail to the bathroom. (Note the 3 foot steps)

~


Or, if you don't like the steps, you could take this lovely path of hidden stairs that goes by that creepy shed/house in the background.

~

Ryan taking in the whole concept of this bathroom. Later we observed that there was blood everywhere in that bathroom. Suffice to say, we chose to use the porta-potties.

Blocking

Finished!

It's very fulfilling to work with yarn you have dyed and spun. Quite a difference. I love the Pagona pattern so much.

The Sunrise Shawl

Great pattern! I will be selling the shawls at the Farmer's Market this year and reopening my Etsy shop!

So excited.
