It seems like a long time ago since the Air Raid happened (really, 1942 was a long time ago!), but I’ve been hanging onto my measly few pics to share.

Because it’s always cold at this event, I asked my mom to knit this Victory scarf for me – isn’t it great?

It looks like a simple pattern, but I haven’t knitted anything in about 7 years and I didn’t feel up to relearning at the moment. (I never did learn how to cast on and off properly!) I asked her to make it a little skinnier than the pattern states, and I think she just used smaller needles instead of redesigning the pattern. That also made the tension tighter, so the V popped a little more. Smart lady!

Muddy shoes! But they kept my feet warm, and now I can try dyeing them like the website suggests. Perhaps mudbrown, so they’ll be ready for next year…

I don’t have any pictures after the dancing started, cause I was on the floor the whole time! But here’s a few links with more pics if you haven’t had enough.
