| | Today was an exciting day! I purchased my very first knitting book for one, but what is WAAAAY more exciting than that .... I got to meet Wool Winder!!  She is every bit as nice as you would imagine -- probably more so. She brought with her a donation for LucyBug, a beautiful little pink dress with the cutest little ladybug button on the back. I've never seen this particular button before, and that's rare for a ladybug item. 
Pictured: My new book and a little doll (sharla) that my nine-year-old daughter made this week.
Here are a couple of FO's! Amazing, huh? I finally blocked the green head wrap thing (pdf). This and the blue one (will be pictured with UFO's) are both slated to be gifts.
And my cable socks, these will also be a gift.

the pattern:
And now the UFO's (shamefully this is not all of my UFO's  but just the ones I hope to get finished in the somewhat near future):
Socks for my FIL for Father's day. Unfortunately this is the first in the pair and I'd still like to knit a pair for my own dad.
finally the second head wrap thing (pdf). This one is a bit modified, using fewer stitches. I'm knitting it with a lambswool, cashmere and silk blend. The green one was knitted using alpaca yarn (which incidentally when wet smells like ... well a wet animal).
Anyway, I had a lovely day today meeting Wool Winder. We wandered around Barns & Noble for a bit. She helped us find the Nancy Drew books that my daughter has been reading (devouring?). My daughter was thrilled when we also went for ice cream at Ben and Jerry's (who knew we had those in Utah? Not me!). |
