Day 180-365: Tour de Fleece - Prep

Day 180-365: Tour de Fleece

This is one of my projects for Tour de Fleece. It is a spinning challenge that takes place during the Tour de France every year. It's been a long time since I've played with fiber and I'm looking forward to it.

The Millennium Park also has these two towers that cascade water onto children below.

Centered Double Decrease Tutorial



This knitting video shows how to perform a Centered Double Decrease which is abbreviated CDD. I had a number of requests to reference this technique and seeing how it's a big part of the Woobie Blankets I figured it wouldn't be a bad idea.

I hope you enjoy!

Day 178-365: New Path

Day 178-365: New Path

The Lurie Garden has new stone pathways that I hadn't noticed before. Very much an upgrade from the dirt walkways. Nice little bonus glimpse of the Sears... oh no scratch that it's Willis Tower now.
