So much news, so little time . . .

I'm back with some news! First and foremost,

He
became an IT this week. I would guess he spent about 2 hours feeling sorry for himself and then promptly forgot all about his little appendages. Goodbye Man-Dog. Hello little fella!

Next item: My wonderful hubby thought he'd whisk us all away on a family vacation over Mother's Day (the cabin). And would you take a look at what I woke up to on that very fine day.

No joke.

I took matters into my own hands.

First, I ignored child labor laws and made one little man work to heat up the place,
and the other little man was sent out to catch our dinner,
The dog was pretending to be Batman or Batdog or something useful like that.

So, I got quite a bit of knitting done. What you see here is my first Clapotis. It's my favorite project for the moment. Fairly brainless and loads of fun when you get to drop stitches all the way through the scarf! (Trust me, somehow this works well and it's extremely satisfying). I'm using US size 7 needles with Araucania Ranco Multy yarn.
These socks are going to our charity knit group. Washable wool. If you'd like to knit a pair, check out the blog for this. WE NEED SOCKS!

And here is a funny little scarf I like to call my "Cindy Loo Who" scarf . . . just because. It's a pretty little pattern found HERE.I'll leave you with some spring greens. This little sock is another sock that will head over seas to the charity of choice. These precious socks are woolly warm made with Unique Sheep Super Wool in "Spruce". I think I may have enough for two pairs of children's socks. I LOVE this sock yarn because unlike a lot of superwash hand-dyed, this one FEELS LIKE WOOL! (not too scratchy, though). It's FABULOUSLY SOFTLY WOOLINESS.
