pics of the last two weeks

A lot has been happening the last two weeks.  For those of you that haven't made it to the shop lately here are some pictures.  I'm not sure but I thing these guys were looking for a ride!

Fresh cut hay

And last but a far cry from least is the newest addition...

Isn't she beautiful!!

You have been Challenged !!

 I know that it has been awhile.  May was a very busy month at the farm and in the shop.  The latest news is that there is a challange knitting project at the shop.

 

Vaill Island Vest

I posted this pattern to my favorites list in Ravelry in January 09.   Kathy brought the pattern to the shop on Wednesday, and suddenly we had a challenge.  Five of  

                         us are knitting this pattern using the new Berroco Yarn in the shop.  It is a fun and                                     inexpensive knit. Betsy thought a grab bag gift from each contestant would be fun.  I'm all for that.  How about a  $3 to$4 value?  The first one done get to choose first and so on.

I was thinking about a Yarn Shop gift.  I would like to give a prize to the best fitting vest and another prize to the vest with the least mistake   The pattern is free on ravelry.  If you are not a member and would like the pattern I have it at the shop.  But, if you are not a member, I do recommend it.  It is a wonderful source for spinners, knitters, and more.  There is still lots of time, and lots of Berroco Cotton Yarn.  

ps.  my hint is that you should slip the stitches as if to purl  

I hope to see you in the shop soon!!
