Finally this one has some ears.

It took me many hours to get these ears looking like this, but it was worth the effort because he is sooooo cute.

April 5 we awoke to a foot of snow.  What?

We are definitely in denial, as we put of dealing with it until 1:00 this afternoon.  It’s all going to melt (hopefully) in the next few days, why kill ourselves shoveling? (I ask as Abe is out there heaving heavy snow over his shoulder)

Judy helped me plan out the remainder of my time before deadline, that was a great thing to do.  I am going to try and focus on one project at a time and see each through to completion before moving onto the next.  This is a good exercise in self discipline.  This morning I had a very nice dialogue over email with Blue Sky Alpacas.  They are not only supplying me with the yarn for the kangaroo, but also the Friends bag.  Yeah!

Tada!

6 weeks and counting, tick tick…

In recent flying rodent news, Abe awoke one morning last week to the sound of chirping coming from the other room. Upon investigation, he found this all tangled up in my yarn basket.

She had injured herself and could not fly. A nice woman who handles bats came and took her away. All the best, little friend!

Here is some show and tell:

The sisters pillow is coming together just as I hoped. I am almost finished with the trim that connects the front and back.

I found these cover buttons for the center, which I will make a little cover for.

Mo finished knitting the purple rug and started assembly.

I finished the assembly last week at Knitwit.

It has been suggested that perhaps it need not be felted, why not leave it as a throw? That is yet to be determined.

Speaking of giant knit throws, Lynn completed the family tree throw.

I’m trying to decide where to go with this. It has been suggested that I felt this (I can here Lynn screaming from here…noooooo!) and embroider all over it. I’m going to think on it for awhile.

I love how the daughters socks came out. Totally vintage looking.

Juggling balls, awesome.

Mens vest, a little bit boringsville, but lets face it, isn’t that what men want? Beautifully knit by one of the guild knitters.

And finally I would like to give a shout out to my sister Theresa by showing off this throw she is working on.
