Turtle Finished

Started knitting my first cowl/scarf thing. Let's hope it turns out. Really need a ball winder, trying to knit and not get knots is often a close call. Also need a ball winder since I can't carry it around in my purse like this. So much time knitting time wasted when I'm somewhere and could get a row or two done. I know, I know, life's tough. Love my new yarn!



Turtle all finished! Baby likes the eyes! Let's hope those safety eyes really are safe. If I made another, it would be smaller. And green.



Sifton Bog. Not really stroller friendly. We had to move over and "park" every time someone wanted to pass. We're slow.

But worth the drive. Fish at the end, lots and lots of little orange fish in the water. Made my big baby happy.

FleeceFestival - Woodstock

Took the kids and GMa to Woodstock today. Got some yarn. Saw some Alpacas. And the turtle is ALMOST done. I've given up on the final instructions for putting the shell together. Knitting an I-Cord and then will sew it all together, instead of knitting the I-Cord while picking up stitches.

Sheldon

Finally some pics of Sheldon. You can see something is wrong with some of the stitches in the head. Not sure wht I'm doing wrong. But, that's why we made one with waste yarn first. Started the shell, made a few mistakes there too, but I figured those out.

SUV arrived tonight. :) Work is 95% unpacked. Basement ceiling is all painted. And J is coming home this weekend. We're going to the movies again and I'm looking forward to his cooking. Tonight: KD with asparagus. When I throw random things together, it's not good. When J does it, it turns into something that we could actually invite company over to eat.

Bought an SUV

No knitting today. Packed up 2.5 offices at work (we're moving...), saw a new client and bought a Santa Fe. J needs a vehicle to get to and from work now that he's far away. Weekend rides from other people weren't working out as hoped. I need to go to bed, that was enough for one day.
