Splurge..

I headed over to Alamitos Bay Yarn Co to spend the gift certifiate I won for the Dodger baby sweater. I really took my time and wandered all around the pretty little store. I finally decided on this:

Getting caught up...

Made this afghan for John many years ago but am trying to get some past projects into Ravelry. I really liked this pattern as it is different for me to do anything in one color...

No gloom in June

The marine layer keeps creating dense fog like weather so although it doesn't quite feel like summer, the "busy"ness of the end of school year schedule tells me otherwise.

Class plays: Sarah plays an "airhead" perhaps a little too well....

Dance Recitals:

Baby blankets: I am really digging making blankets for babies in non-baby colors...

I have resorted to only knitting in the round which I finds very soothing for some reason....
