This is a picture of my latest project. I'm calling it Sacajawea's sweater (it's actually Buttercup by Heidi Kirrmaier). I started it while driving along Lewis & Clark's route through Montana, Idaho, and Oregon with my family. I'm knitting it in Blue Sky Alpaca's Alpaca and it's beautiful. After driving that route in an RV with 4 males I decided to call it Sacajawea's sweater because if she were still alive I'd give it to her. Any woman that can take 2 men across country deserves a 100% Alpaca sweater! She's the real hero in that story. I sat in front of the campfire one night, knitting on the sweater and wondering if Lewis & Clark sat around the fire at night passing gas in various ways and laughing their heads off. I really think that deep down every man has the sense of humour of a 12 year old boy. It was a great vacation but two weeks was plenty for me thanks.
So here's to you Sacajawea. You're a better woman than I!
