New toy and MS3 Clue #1

We got a new toy a couple of weeks ago. A friend gave us this mini bike because it needed a lot of work and wasn't running. This afternoon we had a small engine guy from church come over and he helped us get the mini chopper going. It is still missing some pieces but it is ride-able. After a few minutes of instruction:

We are a motorcycle family....
F takes a spin.
Z gets into the action...
She asked to go with us to Sturgis - on this bike...um, no.
The bike will hold up to 300 lbs. so even Vince (who is no where near 300 lbs!) gets a turn...

And lastly, I take a spin...
Vince was heard mumbling "You'll never get your mom off that thing."

On a knitting note: I started the MS3 on Tuesday evening and finished clue #1 on Friday night. I pinned it out to check for errors and forgot to take the picture before taking out the blocking pins. So here is the unpinned version. I am currently on row 115. More pictures to follow... after another spin around the neighborhood on the bike.

Your clue #1 looks very beautiful! The dark color shows up the pattern nicely!

I'm in the MS3 too, and I've just finished Chart A. Your stole is just beautiful! I'm so excited to see how everybody's work is coming along. Keep up the great work!

I have no idea what the clues are for your knitting project but it looks neat! Nice bike too. So glad we can connect this way. Give the kids my love!
