Things are crazy around here! We have been trying to visit dealers and clubs (and schedule as many rides as we can cram in...), still moving in, working on the basement - and the garden, and fitting in time to do some work for money too! And of course - I have been knitting. I have finished a few more projects for fundraising:


This is the adult version of the earflap hat (to match the childs - father and son hats!)


I love these baby sweaters - this one is completely machine washable/dryable (is that a word?). Makes me think of spring - and all of the beautiful flowers that I planted in my old yard - that are probably coming up now...

It is really cute with this hat - it has a bit of angora - which makes it really soft - but makes my throat hurt and my nose run. I thought I was getting sick until I looked at the yarn tag - sometimes I forget about allergies -




I've always got one of these baby hats going - they look good on every size head!

I'm also knitting some socks - I love love love handknit socks. There is nothing like them! So these ones are for Forrest - who is always pointing out that the only things I have made for him are that Harry Potter scarf that I made him (which he lost - that thing took me forever! I was a new knitter and very proud of it!), and some hats. He lays down some pretty heavy hints every time I start a new pair of socks. So...here they are (at least the legs) - hopefully they will be done this month so that they can be a birthday gift.


I'm also very slowly working on this crazy vest - I took a class to learn the stitch pattern at Stitches - it doesn't look like a vest right now - but when it's done, I may wear it every day for a year! Even if it's tacky. I don't care!


I realize it just looks like some strips of knitting right now - but I promise it will look like something - in the next year or so.

And lastly, my obsession. I admit that at Stitches I may have gone just a little crazy. I now am the proud owner of fiber for four new sweaters. I am working on a red cabled sweater right now - it is absolutely beautiful! Here's the back - I will finish this portion tonight - then I will just need the front and some sleeves - I have a bit of knitting to do....



Is there ever enough time? Have a great day and don't forget to commit a random act of kindness today!
