WE WON!

Wow! I can't believe it. I thought for sure the octupuss was going to win. I would like to thank Larissa from theknitmonster.com for her help with the creature. Without her kniting knowledge,pattern writing know how, special knit tips,and overall coaching the creature would not have made it into existence. She is the "knit goddess".

Back From Vacation:)

I know I have been a very bad blogger. I went on vacation for about a month down to the lower 48. It was a great trip. One my whole family really needed.
