Finally some colors!!!!!

Springtime has exploded in Minnesota! These are pictures from the arboretum.



This yarn is from my Woolgirl sock club. It's Mama Llama Original Sock 3 ply. (460 yds)

And then, I received my second "Seven Deadly Spins" package. There was too much stuff to photograph, but here's a glimpse of the yarn. There is a pattern for a washcloth and a soap bag to boot. There was also a chocolate sheep, but I ate that as it came out of the package.

Finally, a special news flash!!!!!

Our first pair of socks for our Charity KNITS!! WWHOOOOP WHHOOOP! These children's socks were knitted up by "Gummie" over there on Ravelry. THANKS S!
Hey! If you have any extra bits of sock yarn, why not knit up a pair of toddler/child socks, too! (Please use machine washable wool - these are for little cold feet!)

One more happy spring thing: Remember that picture from an older post of my lupine covered in snow? Well, that old thing is a descendant from the original Lupines that were planted here about 80 years ago. It's THE LAST PLANT!!! So when it came up again this year, I was very relieved.

But even more special; there are several seedlings that just might make it! (If I can keep Prince of Poopness OUT OF THE GARDEN! - if i had a dollar for every time i've yelled that today!!)
