Blithering Knitiot

End of Vacation

So, after having had a week off from school for the spring break, this is what I've accomplished:

I bought a new digital camera and started a blog.
I had a great trip to Skaneateles to check out a great yarn store ("Hi Shannon!").
I bought some great yarn!
I received a little package a while ago from Boston (Thanks, Dave!), and have begun knitting on dpns - kinda successfully, I think...
I had lots of quality time with my little girl, Lizzie (and she's still shedding...).
I made some new friends and had several entertaining e-mails because of my blog.
I learned from Ann all about "cornholing".


Damn, life is good...


Here is an updated pic of my knitting - I don't knit as fast as Dave - but then, who does? lol. I added a mug that matches the bowl that several of you commented about, and turned the bowl so you could see the design. OH, and the project? Mittens... I thought maybe I should tell ya, since it doesn't look like socks.....

(Could there be just a few more patterns in this picture?)


And for Cookie, a pic of the cloisonne hummingbird:



Back to school tomorrow. *sigh*

Have a great night!

You will be stylin' with those mittens! Love the bowl and cup - very interesting design. The hummingbird is quite pretty.

You did get a lot done in a week - come to think about it...

Some of us are in denial regarding summer coming, thankyouverymuchmrman.

I love that humingbird. Thank you for sharing with us, Paul. It's lovely.

Lizzie is supposed to be shedding, btw. It's spring. All the furbabies shed in the spring. There was a memo. No, really, there was. I swear. ::angelface::
