I made a total of six stockings last year.
It is Quite Cool
Just a normal family--we just take pictures and knit a lot.

Long Time, No Blog: Update #3 (I'm still making stuff)
I've made more things than a hat these last few months.
(I knit stockings for my cousin and his bride.)
(I made a quick baby hat for my dear Hannah's new baby.)Long Time, No Blog: Update #2 (The New Cool Went to School!)
We have a schoolboy?! It has been amazing to see Lincoln blossom and grow at kindergarten, although it is still terrible getting him up each morning. I'm not really looking forward to the teen years!
Long Time, No Blog: Update #1 (We went to South Dakota again!)
In August we ran up to the eastern side of South Dakota for the beautiful and fun wedding of my cousin Paul to his lovely and creative bride Alli.
Then, continuing our National Park visiting goal, we camped and hiked in the Badlands.
(A friendly group of Sturgis bikers snapped this picture!)
(We watched the super moon from our campsite!)

Yellowstone Trip Souvenir Hat
When we arrived in Jackson, WY prior to our trip into Grand Teton and Yellowstone, I had the boys drop me off at the local yarn shop.
It was a delightful little shop, and I found a lovely Wyoming made yarn, in the colorway Grass--a perfect choice, as we had been blown away by the gorgeous green grass we found in a wetter Wyoming.
I found a pattern I loved--and it was called the antelope hat--another perfect choice, as we had seen plenty on our tour! And now it's done--and I'm ready for winter!June 19, 2014
National Park Road Trip 2014: Van Camping
We learned that four months out is way too late to plan to sleep in cabins in Yellowstone--they are all booked. Campsites, however, are available. Our problem? Tent camping and I are not friends. So, Mr. Cool got to work on turning our van into a serviceable camper--at least for sleeping!
We would sleep on a full mattress filling up the rest of the back--which worked pretty well, although there was a bit of a slant.
Lincoln slept the best! It wasn't a perfect set-up--tweaks are needed. Or we just need a real camper!
Our campsite, however, was perfect--Madison campground. Just a short walk away from the Madison River--

National Park Road Trip 2014: Yellowstone Highlights
Mr. Cool had visited Yellowstone the summer he turned 7, and I hadn't been since I was 10. We were surprised by the new stuff, and the memories that came flooding back--we hope the same for Lincoln in his future visits.
We really explored a lot of the thermal features--and Lincoln loved the paint pots, especially Artist's Paint Pots . He sat and watched it for over ten minutes!
Mr. Cool and I loved the brilliantly colored thermal pools, although Lincoln didn't love the smell!We saw loads of bison--always neat and imposing to see in person.
