I can’t write the good stuff up as well as others can, so it is a good thing my latest yarny activities were with the Sisters. On Saturday we dyed yarn, jeanette and sterling. I only did one skein of Jeanette. Links to others blogs at the end of this so you can get an idea of what all we did. And I’ll post a photo of mine later, I used blue & yellow wanting a spring-y colorway. It is really pretty, reminds me of the blue sky, bright yellow sun, and freshly growing grass. Just what I wanted. I totally had spring on my mind Saturday morning.

Then? At our regular Tuesday Knit Night we had the ladies from Brooks Farms out to where we meet at. And wow. Thats about all I can say. I walked in, a little late as the traffic was crazy and my husband had a hard time getting home, and there were baskets of yarn set up on the tables in "Our corner" Everyone was either going through it or sitting and knitting with their choices beside them ready to purchase. I had purposely gone with no money, no cash, so I couldn’t spend any. But of course, they were ready to take credit cards. Figures, right? So I ended up with one skein of acero which will be turned into a simple shawl for my mother. I’ll post a photo of that later too.

My socks are coming along, i am just working my way down the foot. I knit a baby bonnet this weekend that i’m thinking is like, preemie sized. I might take it to church and try it on a new baby girl (she is around a month old) this weekend. haha. I didn’t use a pattern for it but I jotted down what I did so I could do another one, and I will make it a little bigger. One of the very first things I tried to knit, before I knew what gauge was and even before I was purling properly, was a baby bonnet. I probably still have that around somewhere!
