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 in our RV. 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. Honestly, my boys (all four of them) don't usually behave like that. It must have something to do with being in the woods. 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!
