YOP: Week 15

Good morning!  So I've been on Spring Break all week...and my busiest days are these last three!  Today I'll be heading to Rhode Island for the day...one of the wonderful things about living in New England is the close proximity to many states...seriously...I can visit 3 different ones on day trips..and several others over a weekend...I've driven around our country, it's not so easy to do in other regions...
Yesterday we went to two different Record stores, as it was Record Store Day...the Hubs used to own an independent record store....he bought some classics...Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and Bill Withers....although we did not buy any vinyl.... I bought things to add to my growing geek collection in front of my computer...and some yarn...we ended up at a little strip mall that had a yarn store, a record store and a used book store...plus a great deli/restaurant!  It was a good day!

I got the bobble head Daryl Dixon, a mini Iron Man and Black Widow and Spock...already had a Michonne and walker, a gnome, a Stargate Jaffa, and Ewok and the green thing to the side is a Glurt, a Lego Mixel.....I have another Mixel to build that looks like a dragon....

So onto the projects...I finished another one this week...a test knit for a blogger friend....which I totally kept forgetting to do.  It's an easy pattern and super stretchy!  I'll keep the hat for myself, as it fits and the Hubs deemed it cute...(he's not a particular fan of hats!)

Projects in Mind - I have the pattern and the yarn  - this list is remaining about the same...I could add a ton to it...but I'm not going to at the moment...I think when I move one of these projects to the WIP category, I will add another project to this list...I like seeing it all laid out..and it is not overwhelming to me..because it's my list and I can follow it or not!
