Today I went to my local LYS called New England Yarn and Spindle. Mary, who runs the Knit Wit group I ocassionally join at the library, co-owns it. Today was concetrated on crocheting, but there were more knitters there. Libby Ziegenfuss was a crochet teacher there and I made an appointment to work on color changes. I want to get the dino ghan done for Aiden.

So I took some pictures of the store. It's a cute store. It's been open since January and they are still growing. So if anyone is in the area, stop by. It's in Bristol at 801 Terryville Road (which is just up the street from me) Mary is a spinner, so they have spinning nights, too. They are going to start having UFO Sundays. I'll probably stop up periodically.

It was a very pleasant couple of hours. The ladies who are in the pics are Linda, Anne, Libby and Mami. There is also a pic of Mary and her partner Andrea.

Well on the Sky at Crochetville, we are making an Aran. I have always loved the look of these, so I am making one, too. It's gonna take me awhile to finish. I finished my first strip tonight. It went pretty fast, but I haven't tried the diamond strip yet....So am working on that and the RR that I started. I hope to have that finished this week. Have a bunch of small items I want to work on, too.... No new pics though...

New Month - let's get caught up.

I've made lots of gifts this month for babies...some I've given and some I haven't yet...
I made the blue blanket, blue bear and fish for Danae's daughter Jessica and her new baby Ethan. I made the yellow sweater, little hat and pink bear for a friend from the ville. I still have to send the seater and bear.

Today it snowed again, hopefully this will be the last of it and no more snow days. We are suppose to start the CMT's tomorrow, so busy week...

Oops, we had a Chinese New Year parade at school and these are some pics of our dragons. My class's dragon is the red and green one, which is made out of all recycled materials! Kids had free reign to decorate the way the wanted.

Today I was quite busy. I finished up the blanket I was making for Jessica. Now it'll just been when do I stop at the house to give it to her.

I also made two squares for the Frienship Square Swap at the ville. I am still 2 squares behind.

I have been having some problems with my right knee this week. Usually it's my left knee. It's been pretty painful. Another reason to lose weight.

I finally finished both sweaters for Joan last week. Yeah!

I did not post a pic of my SSP package..I'll have to do that. My SSP was Shelby from PA. She actually made me a Santa..how cool is that!

A couple of things I am working on are two sweaters for Joan. I have one done and the other about 1/3 of the way done...

I am also almost finished with Jessica's baby gift. It's taken awhile to make...

I also worked on my Games ghan. It is not finished and I need to add another two panels of cream.

I have put myself on a yarn diet. I have some ILTY coming in from CraftsEtc and that will be it for quite awhile.

I also have a pic of my friend's daughter in the hat and scarf I made her.

The first picture is of a ROAK gift I received from a friend in Arizona. We are "online" friends and exchange packages a couple times a year. She's so sweet, because she remembers DH. He has eaten half the jar of peppers already!
I also finally finished the monkey. He's been in my bag forever with just one arm. The arms and legs were so long to do! He's very cute, but I don't think I put enough stuffing in him, his head is not filled enough. Finally I worked on DH's slippers. I made him a pair last year, he wore them so much they had giant holes in them. I tried to make them a bit smaller this year, cuz last year he kept saying "bigger" and when they were finished they were ginormous! He says they are a little loose on the "boot" part and stiffer than the others, but they haven't been washed yet.
