The foothills of Lizard Ridge

Wow! Taking pictures during daylight hours makes such a difference!

Here's a dachshund's eye view of my progress on the Lizard Ridge afghan.  I've got 16 squares done so far (8 to go), but I might do a couple extras to get some prettier color schemes.

I've also managed to get Tammy hooked on the pattern – here's her very first square

Also per Tammy's request, Six Wierd Things about me!  

1.  I like lima beans.  Ummmm… yum.  (Really!)

2.  I hardly ever watch movies, but when I do, I really like ones that follow a particular formula – a bunch of different people and all these different stories and they all come together somehow in the end.   

3.  I was named after a prize-winning dairy cow.  (According to my dad, that is.  My mom vehemently denies this!)

4.   I've always lived in Missouri, except for that one year, when I lived in Spain. 

5.  I have a phobia of eyes.  I couldn't put contacts in my eyes until I was 22 (trying since 8th grade!) and I can't think of anything that creeps me out more than when people flip their eyelids inside out.  

6.  Sometimes, when I'm laughing at something, I start laughing really, really, really hard and can't stop for a looong time.  I think this first happened on a long car trip to Colorado with my family when I was about 12, and we started calling it "the jollies."  Usually this happens with really random things that just strike me as funny.  It happened at work once, which was a little embarrassing.  

It seems like everyone has already done this meme, but if anyone wants to…. go for it!

  1. Whoa, you’re cruising on Lizard Ridge. I only have 4 squares done. You’ll be done by the summer!
    Hehe, the jollies. I think we all get that on occasion. I recently had something similar when my BF came home and told me one of his coworkers was leaving. To go to Panama. And attend break dancing school.

  2. Hello… I just checked out your site, and saw this afghan. I thought it was funny, because I’ve been working on this pattern too. I’m stalled on the seaming part of it, but I’ve knitted all the squares. I’ll send you a picture once it’s done.
    Anyway, had fun seeing you guys this weekend!
    love,
    June
