Spring?

Hi There! Well, Right Now it is 28 degrees out....This is Spring in New England. I have 3 children home from school with Strep Throat....Yee haa! Well....that allows me to get some knitting and spinning done. I took some spinning lessons, a few weeks ago and it went well....... I can drive I mean spin now. Thanks to Dave @cabin cove for the link I found the teacher. I ended up spinning about 4 ounces of some Brown Romney from one of her sheep. Very cool! I am still working on the Wallaby for my son and a pair of socks for myself out of Tofusies and I am trying to do up some felted bookmarks for my coworkers who I will be leaving this Friday. I have decided to go back to my roots and be a unit nurse in a hospital again.

This cardi is coming out nicely, if I can say so myself. They use a bright, almost kelly green yarn in the mag issue, the color of the Debbie Bliss yarn I have is like a pumpkin color. I really like it! The pattern itself is easy to memorize.

FUN STUFF!

Just for kicks and giggles
