It's for an "opportunity afghan" for NETA, to benefit the Ships Project. Hence the anchor motif.
I did this pattern once before, on the front of a little jumper for D1 back when she was about 4. It was wool, fisherman yarn (the itchy kind), and I did one repeat of the anchor with little cables running up each side. I'll have to see if my stitch count on this project will let me add some 4-stitch cables on the side...would be kind of nifty!
One of the nice things about rain is the spectacular sky effects you get afterwards. I took these shots to try to capture the glow of sun behind thunderheads.
The camera didn't get the glow the way I would have liked it to, but all in all these came out better than they could have.

I recognize that page in BW! And those cloud pictures are great -- this rain has been wonderful. I hope the rest of your weekend is quiet and full of knitting :)
That reminds me...I haven't checked the NETA boards in a while. I should do that at some point!
Love that anchor pattern. It's perfect!
I love the anchor pattern:)Hugs Darcy
