Sometimes I surprise myself!

It's September already!  Can you believe it?  That means we are gearing up for the annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk on October 29th.  Fundraising is well underway, and I would love your support for this fun event.  My personal page is HERE.  I am about 80% to my goal of $1000, and any little bit will help.  Thanks!

So, on that note, I have to share what I made to wear while I walk!  Our team is called "Noble Knitters", because we meet at the local Barnes & Noble.  (Monday nights at 7pm, if you want to join us!)  I wanted something yarn crafty to wear and something that would stand out a bit in the crowd.  Here is what I came up with:

C'est chique, no?  I probably spelled that wrong, but whatever...What do you think.  I used the Bernat cotton from JoAnn's that supports Susan G. Komen for the Cure.  I love how the stripy effect worked in the flower.  There is a big ol' plastic gem in the middle for a little bit of bling, and the feather reminds me of the old west!
