Knit, Knit, Knit







Well, this last week I started a scarf for a friend and then ripped it out, then finished it. It turned out so well. She didn't want the scarf to overwhelm her so I made it out a silk/bamboo yarn. It's so soft and luxurious. Then I finished a chenille scarf I've been working off and on for a couple of years. It wasn't a priority. Still working on the Circle Vest.

Night after Prom

Prom went well last night. The girls looked gorgeous and the boys very handsome. I had fun despite some reservations about going. Finally got a picture of the wrap I made for Diane. She loves it and is using it regularly as a hug to help her through her bad days. I've been working on the circle vest. It seems as though it's taking forever. My CeCe has been on hold this week. I had to take it upstairs to keep it safe from a visiting puppy and haven't brought it back down. Out of sight, out of mind I guess. Well, for this mind anyway. Off to Home Depot for some soil for the vegetable garden my husband and sons are making.

A great Mom's day, although I worked too hard for it to be restful. It's my daughter's and my brother's birthday so we had a birthday celebration combined with a mom's day celebration. A little cool today in Michigan so we had to stay indoors rather than the lovely weather we had at Easter. Julie asked for Tacos for dinner so we had them along with various salsas, dips, and salads. A great meal but we over-ate. Then my sister-in-law brought a Ding-Dong Cake. A new family favorite. Got tickets to see James Taylor and Carole King in a few weeks. I'll be reliving my youth... Can't wait. Happy Mom's day to everyone!

The day started out kind of crappy but has ended on a better note. The Wings won 7-1, yahoo!!!I posted a picture of the purple ripple skirt that I made for Courtney on Ravelry. It was finished a couple of weeks ago. She loves these skirts. It makes it so much fun to make something for her. I blocked the Citron and it is amazing how much it can grow in the blocking process. Worked on the circle vest. It's looking so cool!! Can't wait to finish it. The CeCe is coming along. My phone is still not working, will have to go to the phone store tomorrow. I hate going to the phone store. I always feel out of my comfort zone. Well, that's enough for tonight.
