The pattern up close. This is very close to a pattern I know is Estonian. This could be Baltic or Scandinavian. The stripes are Scandinavian and Traditional to Maine as well, so I combined the patterns. I got the yarn this summer at the Dollar Tree. It is high quality washable wool which usually goes for $7/ball. What a deal. The pattern I found was called Winter Sunrise and is done in red and gold. The colors I had work perfectly, I think. Little Man looks great in bright colors, too.
Gavin was happy to model for me.:) The hat fits Gavin, Connor and Meredith, so it is bound to fit Little Man as well.
This is our latest Social Studies project. It is called a shaduf. It has been used since the time of the Ancient Mesopotamians. Abraham may have used one of these. Isn't that cool!
On the gray block, we dug irrigation ditches and trenches. The boys had to use the shaduf to water their crops. The little wooden bucket wasn't heavy enough to sink, so Connor came up with the idea of weighting it with the dime. It worked perfectly. I love homeschooling!
My big boy, Garrett and Shyla. He loves this puppy!
