I was going to post yesterday...

...but I didn't finish round 14 until early this morning. Daughter Carol's garage door broke, and we went over to help her. We were only gone a couple of hours, but that was enough to keep me from finishing.

There are only four rounds to go! My Jan Stawasz Masterpiece now measures 27.5" across. It's time to move on to round 15!

I finished my Piland scarf yesterday. So far, this is my favorite pattern from Sequence Knitting. The yarn is Preciosa Tonal "Duchess" from Knit Picks.

I forgot my picot gauge...

I had no time to tat or blog on Thursday or Friday because my help was needed at play practice... what fun!

Saturday morning at 3:30, Dave and I left for Minnesota to meet the twins. By the time it was light enough for me to tat, we were well in to Wisconsin, and it was then that I realized I'd left my picot gauge at home. I'm not very good about making my picots anywhere near uniform, so my picot gauges are my friends! I didn't want to mess up my Jan Stawasz Masterpiece, so I knit this trip.

I finished my Lyden scarf on the way up. All I have to do is wash and block it and it will be ready for winter!

I then started my next scarf, Piland. This is another Knit Picks Preciosa Tonal yarn, Duchess. I really am enjoying my knitting these days!

Even though our trip was only two days, we had a really good time.

Daughter Joanne looks terrific! Somehow, Daddy Jan managed to avoid having his picture taken... at least with my camera. Baby Jan was much easier to catch with the camera!

We were able to attend granddaughter Lily's double-header. Afterwards the whole family came over and we feasted on pizza, and we all took turns holding the babies.

Ella showed Sophia how to make cupcakes (made of wood), and the girls treated us to the yummy treats they made! ;-)

Of course the twins were the stars of the show. It was hard to leave them in Minnesota, but Mommy and Daddy wanted to keep them. I guess we'll have to wait until Christmas when we can see them again.
