Two pairs of socks

Just finished up two pairs of socks. The navy socks were from the woolgirl sock club made in a very soft merino wool. The purply socks are a cotton blend- made with a feather and fan pattern.

Another market bag

Yes, I made another one. I kind of like this pattern. I make them to give away. It's made of hemp. I am sending this one with my husband when he goes to Ecuador to give to someone who really helps their group. Kind of fun...
I am going to be teaching how to make this market bag in June.

wrap around shawl

or something like that! I did a KAL with a friend for this shawl. I had fun making it with all of the color changes and different stitch patterns.

TIme flies...

Where has all the time gone???? I guess that is what happens when you have three children doing three different sports and dance recitals and more. Anyway, just posting a cute picture of one of the girls playing lacrosse, which is the latest sport they are learning!

C&O Canal

The family and I biked and camped on the C&O canal for Spring Break. It was an amazing trip despite below freezing temps. We biked 10 miles a day for several days and the little girls made it!!! I was impressed!!! It was so beautiful there!!! I definitely like the bike/camping better than backpacking!!!

Cleopatra Socks

I just finished my Cleopatra Socks!!! I am in the knitgirl sock club and these were the socks that got sent to me!!! I was really intimidated by them at first, but the pattern was easy to follow and I really thought they turned out great!!! And I love the regal gold!!!

mittens and spring

I just finished my mittens from my coffee swap pal in Norway. She designed the mittens herself-- they are called Dog Rose Mittens. I really liked the way they turned out!!! Just ending the season of wearing mittens though!!! Maybe, I can wear them a few times!!!

And then, look at what surprised my girls in the yard the other day!!! A sure sign that it is getting warmer. This little friend of ours likes to hang out in our azalea bush that is right by the entry way to our house!
