This is one reason we moved back "home" to Colorado. The boys have had so much fun spending time with their cousins.

This is one reason we moved away from Minnesota . However, this photo was not taken in Minnesota. What?! After a close call with a twister in Minnesota last summer, I was looking forward to a typically more uneventful storm season in Colorado. However, yesterday afternoon my NOAA alarm (which I highly recommend) sounded - a tornado warning! I checked our local news. Nothing. Went upstairs to wake my little guy to go to the basement. I looked out his window and this what I saw!

This is a project I finished last week. It's a cute, simple top from Ella Rae Book Seven. I knit it in 5 skeins of Ella Rae silkience on the recommended US 6 and 7 needles. I wanted the lace portion to have more positive ease than the bodice, so I blocked it about 3 or 4 inches larger than the schematics showed. It's a cute top and I'm happy with the results.

Wow! Glad you are okay. In Greeley we got clouds, but nothing happened.
