[...] little creek is the one that can cause trouble if it rains too much and we get flash flooding. Remember these photos? Yep. All that from this little creek. I think it happens about once every five years or [...]

Oh my goodness….I just clicked on your blog today, as it’s been pretty busy, and when I saw you writing about the rains and faintly saw the little pix and slowly read your post and then you describing the scene….and getting emotional (as I hadn’t read the punchline result yet)……I could see myself running into Loopy Central (if it were mine) with arms waving wildly and shouting/screaming, “My Babies!!”…until I saw that everything was ok …..and out of relief, tears would stream down my face.

There is nothing worse (ok…fire) than water damage..totally invasive. So happy for you.

Those look suspiciously like the transition mitts to me… beautiful colors!

Hoping the challenge is something on the order of fingerless gloves as I have several patterns in mind for those sorts of things.

Ohhh! I’m sad that my photo of Loopy on Vacation still didn’t make it into the gallery for voting.

Those would DEFINITELY be Transition gloves, which I just finished myself. Perhaps the challenge is “sock yarn as something for the hands rather than the feet”? Or “something you tried once, but didn’t like and haven’t tried it again, but probably should”?

So glad to know that you and the Elves and Loopy are ok—and all the yarn, of course! I was absolutely bowled over by the selection of Cascade–no way could I narrow it down to a reasonable number of skeins! (Yes, I know you said you were going to carry every single color, but I hadn’t grasped what that would mean in terms of sheer volume! Web Guy is a genius.) Will have to take a few deep breaths and come back when the heart rate returns to normal. And after checking my patterns to see what I really need…! Intriguing colorwork there—looking forward to all the details of the new Loopy Challenge.

I am glad that you are all ok.. It hasn’t rained in southern CA for sooo long, that we worry about fires this time of year and flooding and mud slides during our too brief wet season.

I am hoping that those are the transitions gloves and that the challenge is related to hand coverings. I have lots of plans for that kind of item.

I enjoy knititng by words for lace and cables. but I need a visual forcolorwork. I also transcribe directions from charts and create graphs from words. Old habits are hard to break.

Glad to hear that LC didn’t go under water!! I’m pretty sure wool doesn’t float! (And can you imagine how stinky a room full or wet wool would be???) Phew! I can’t wait to find out the next challenge. I’m ready to cast on something new!!

Wow! That is a lot of water! A little too close to the yarn for comfort! Glad that you guys are all ok. It just got a little windier than usual here in Western PA. Quite a bit of people where out of power for a few days. (Not us thought, we got lucky.)
All that beautiful Cascade, so very tempting!
