i have come to the conclusion that we continue having snow</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a. i still have a little snowman decoration on my porch</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
b. my blog STILL has a snowy picture on</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
c. i live in the wrong state</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i can't do anything about c at the moment</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but i did take the snowman down</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i've put a pretty sunflower in place of the snowy picture</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
COME ON SPRING!!!!</div>

Pipers Journey....and a journey it has been!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First let me begin by saying I received this pattern for my birthday last year</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from my friend <a href="http://mysistersknitter.typepad.com/">Andi </a>over at My Sisters Knitter </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you Andi!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is a Quince & Company pattern (Andi knows me well :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I ordered Quince & Company yarn (heavenly yarn)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
now...had only they included a little note in my package that said</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
DON'T FORGET TO KNIT A SWATCH TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they did not</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i did not</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i don't really blame Quince & Co., i know better...i really really do</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i have only myself to blame :(</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Juc8b2y8pew/VODqoJwr9tI/AAAAAAAAb8o/NogAdKqlwGY/s1600/IMG_7782.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Juc8b2y8pew/VODqoJwr9tI/AAAAAAAAb8o/NogAdKqlwGY/s1600/IMG_7782.JPG" height="266" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this is pipers journey take 1</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
pretty little bandanna don't ya think?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it's suppose to be a shawl</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
( it was a very little shawl)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i knew in my heart it was small but i thought it could be a nice scarf</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(it was even little for a scarf!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i had completed the pattern & thought hmmmmmm</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the picture on the pattern wraps around her neck twice...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
mine wrapped once, and barely that</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the above picture is done</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
except for the lace section which doesn't make it longer, only a few inches wider </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but i forged ahead & added the lace</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(insert cuss words here)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(insert more cuss words here)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so gauge is important you say </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ok, i'll give this gauge thing a shot</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
suggested needle size 6....well you see how that worked out</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so i tried size 7...nope</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
size 8...right on the money</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5KPJrOgVR8A/VOD4yOdPqRI/AAAAAAAAb84/N_z_XYl4cIk/s1600/IMG_7791.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5KPJrOgVR8A/VOD4yOdPqRI/AAAAAAAAb84/N_z_XYl4cIk/s1600/IMG_7791.JPG" height="266" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this is pipers journey take two</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it's already bigger than journey 1 and i'm only half way on the length</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so lesson learned</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
gauge does matter</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(take everything everyone ever told you about gauge & insert here)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to be continued....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

we are having a beautiful fall here in ohio but</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the dipping temps are a reminder that winter is just around the corner</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
our primary heat source is wood & while i love the coziness of a fire,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it is messy & loads of work for the hubs<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it serves the purpose of carrying in logs,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but it doesn't contain the mess</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and wood is messy</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
soooo, i started searching online for something more efficient</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i found several options but all expensive...$60 & up for a canvas bag plus shipping</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i had an idea....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
i used duck cloth & dowel,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
broke 5 needles & spent the better part of a day</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
making a pattern</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
but....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
i only spent $6.00 on fabric,( joanns had a 60%off coupon) $2.00 on dowel & $5.00 to replace needles</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
the thread i had : )</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
all in all this solution worked well!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i used a microfiber cloth as it suggest but still had a slight filmy look </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so after drying with the microfiber cloth, i used a jewelers cloth & that produced a nice shine</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
one other note....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as soon as the solution cooled down, it no longer worked :(</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the beds haven't been without difficulties</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in the first few weeks the rabbits ate the swiss chard & beets to the ground!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the hubs put up fence and problem solved until....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the deer moved in & reached over the fence and ate our beans!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
he put a wire around the entire exterior and again, problem solved until...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the bugs moved in! they started with the kale & ate their way to the beans</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we mixed up some pepper garlic spray and as you can see</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
everything is thriving</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
until something else finds our garden of eatin'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
