Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all of you mothers and grandmothers out there!
I hope your day is filled with whatever makes you happy. (whether it be with kids or without - I am certainly looking forward to a break!) ha ha.
Here's my present for my Mom!
Fiber from the painted sheep
Handspun into a dkish 2 ply.
brandywine shawl on ravelry Romi donates almost all of the pattern $ to Haiti.



By the time this post hits (I am pre-scheduling it)... Delaney and I will have gone to the circus, and 3 Generations of us mothers, daughters and granddaughters will have had an awesome brekky together! I can't wait for mom's Babka bread!

Am's sweater, the conclusion. And, together again.

I can't believe that I have actually finished knitting Am's sweater. I gifted him the yarn 4 years ago along with the promise he would get the sweater in 5 years for his birthday again. I made the date by 11 months.
This may spark some startitis... It as already helped me "organize" some of my stash. It is amazing what you turn up when you do a little tossing. I found the Print O' the Waves Stole, the Turtle skirt and other random yarns hiding in baskets. I think I may try and finish another harder project that has been hanging around a while.

>side note: Dog crates are great for laying wet knits on to dry! :o) Thanks for sharing, Baxter.

I just received the present I ordered for my mother for Mother's Day. It is gorgeous. If you need an idea for a present go check out Lea's shop. The gift was lovingly packaged and she put a lot of care into her work. Plus, she put up with a pain in the ass customer like me.

I have been knitting the Ravelry: delaneysduds' Celtic Hat I just love it. I have hit a roadblock with poodle stitch. It must be like the first time you turn a heel, just trust the directions.

Delaney and I made this for a friend's baby. The shower is soon..

It is also great to be a whole family again.
