Sampler's only around at Cristmas time. Image from Seventy Years of the Garden Factory by Warwick Johnston. 2008. Book in my collection.

For my sampler blanket - the first knitting project I started, but not the first I've finished. I've been working on it for a year and a half, and have only knit up half of the yarn. Plymouth Yarn's Encore 25% wool 75% acrylic.

I'm not so sure I really like the yarn, now that I've knit with wool/alpaca blends and Noro... but I do like that I've been able to grow and challenge my knitting skills by making each set of squares an excuse to learn a new pattern.

Strange doing this one after the last few with 100 and 102 pieces in each!!

Wedding Sampler made in 2009. Chart adapted from one printed in "Cross Stitch Crazy" magazine. The finished product is always a tiny bit larger than an 8x10" frame. Stitched on 14count aida and adapted according to the personal details of the couple.

This sampler is an Irish Shamrock sampler. I stitched it while our youngest daughter was very much into Irish music -- she plays Irish flute. It features a sterling silver shamrock charm hanging in the center of the heart. I loved the design by the Sweetheart Tree.

Work in progress, nearing the halfway mark. 400 stitches in Jaeger Roma yarn in my stash knit-down effort. From "Folk Shawls" by Cheryl Oberle. It is really soft and I look forward to having it off the needles and blocked to see the full lace effect.

My design for a mini Valentine sample

One of the traditions of home show weekend... Eric and I take the Friday night shift and stay over in Williamsport and open the booth at 10am the next morning. Friday night when we're done, we go out to the Bullfrog Brewery and have a burger and Eric drinks some good beer. This was a really interesting sampler. The brewery is starting to focus on organic brews and some of these were really different.... like the Double Coffee Stout... which uses 12 pounds of free trade coffee.... and tastes ... like... Coffee! There was also a west coast pilsner that Eric loved and an apricot beer that Eric didn't finish.

hmm... I know the middle 3 are the Sumbel Porter, Ægir India Pale Ale, and Rallar Amber Ale from left to right. I believe the far left is the Saison and the far right is the Altbier, but I had had quite a few by this point, so it's hard to remember now... The IPA was my favorite, though. Unfortunately all my favorites weren't available bottled at the time.
