27th July 2013 witnessed a minor milestone in the history of the Fairbourne Railway. In the evening, a Branch Line Society railtour became the last train to traverse the seaward side of the balloon loop, which was subsequently dismantled to reduce maintenance costs. Sherpa was to haul the last train, so she had to be run round the loop light-engine after her first train in the morning, to ensure that she would once again be facing chimney-first out of Fairbourne after the railtour was complete. She is seen here pausing on the loop, while the driver digs enough sand off the rails ahead to allow her to proceed!
As an occasional FR volunteer, I was firing Sherpa during the day (though not for the railtour), so I was not able to carry my proper camera; hence, this shot and those that follow were taken on my camera phone.
Took a ride along the highway today and it was beautiful. Frozen over rivers, snow covered trees, and sunny skies! I will have to come backout here and bring the snow shoes and explore some more. Enjoy!

Chicago Loop is one of 77 officially designated community areas located in the City of Chicago, Illinois, United States. It is the historic commercial center of Downtown Chicago.
Taken after sunset on a cold January evening. The light in the upstairs window is a flashlight being waved at someone (who shall remain nameless) who was cheeky enough to climb up on the wall surrounding the lighthouse.
The chapel, where daily services are held, features artwork by Abraham Rattner, who also designed the "Let There Be Light" stained glass and the ark.
Organized in 1929, the Chicago Loop Synagogue, a Traditional Orthodox congregation, moved into its present quarters at 16 S. Clark St. in 1957. It was designed by the firm of Loebl, Schlossman & Bennett. The temple features beautiful stained glass, including “Let There Be Light,” a three-panel design by Abraham Rattner.

When I took this picture of (Apple) Infinite Loop, I was very closed to the door. Nobody was really paying attention and I decided to change the angle in order to see more stuff inside the Infinite Loop Apple Building.
In the background, we can clearly see a huge ads of the new iPhone and some garden. I really like this picture because we can see "inside", it's not only a photo of the name.

Cast on 32 sts. Cut border from 12 to 4 since this is thicker yarn & for my daughter who will be turning 4 in Sept..
Really important -
Row 7: 6 repeats not 5
Row 8" The pattern says “p/k 9 in the double yarn-over”. That to me read as p & k 9 times. That isn’t correct. It means p & k for a total of 9 sts. Thanks reginaknitsok for the helpful notes.

I got to row 19 and the stitch count wouldn’t match up. Uuughhh. Had to rip back. And with handspun with beads & thread plying, it was not a pleasant experience. Broke the yarn again. sigh
I ended up choosing this pattern because I really wanted a semi-circle or caplet with a wavy/feather & fan body to highlight the yarn. My original thought was the Little House shawl. But it is knit edge up. And I wasn’t sure I would have enough yarn.
So looked some more. Found another pattern. Even cast it on. Only to discover it was also edge up. sigh I suppose that is what I get for not reading the complete pattern. But from the charts, I really thought it was charted for increases. sigh Could have done the math to reverse it. But I cast this one because I wanted something simple where I didn’t have to figure out the math in the first place!
Loved the finished product. Got to row 69 & the following row. Started bind off and found there wasn’t enough yarn left. So I ripped back. Decided to rip all the way to row 68 (so there wasn’t another set of increases.) Knit two more rows in stockinette & then bound off. Only had a tiny bit left.
Really love the finish project. Need to block it & take pics. It is a beautiful piece & my DD loves it.
BTW, I really think my yardage was off. It seems like there was more than the 257 yards I estimated. For handspun, I determine yardage by measuring the size of the skein x the number of strands. Possible I was off on this.
