Of course, my camera’s battery was dead so everyone else took pictures for me and I’m now taking advantage of their visual record of this great event!  :o)

I’m still kind of freaking out about how many pictures there are of me and my family online!  I am really really not used to seeing my face on the Inner-Nets but whatever, I’ll get used to it eventually…

Anyway, please focus on the pictures of the Cute Niece modeling the adorable hoodie/cardigan sweater that is being offered as a class at Knit-One-One in August!  My mom hinted that it looked awful cute on my niece and I have a feeling I may end up taking this class!  :o)

Lastly, I have quite a few knitting and spinning products to show off so I will be back as soon as the camera battery finishes charging up!

OH. MY. GOODNESS.

I just had an amazing party thrown for me by my sisters and mother at this great location!

I will definitely post pictures of what happened, the people, and the gifts, but I just wanted to say, “HI! ”

Be Right Back…

First of all, WWKIP Day is June 14th, Saturday!!!

If you are in Berkeley or Oakland, Sile from Knit-One-One (and I) are hosting a WWKIP Day Knit-Out (scroll down) in the morning!

Make sure to bring a hat just in case the sun is out in full force, water to stay hydrated, and maybe even a chair or blanket to sit in/on, especially if you want to knit for a bit at the “Here…There” signs with a few of us (more info at the official WWKIP Day website).

There is also an afternoon WWKIP Day event in Albany, hosted by Trumom, if you are wanting to prolong the KIP-goodness that day!

And totally unrelated, I’m just giving you all notice that since I have a LOT of personal and work related things going on for the next month or so, you won’t be seeing much of me (I know, I haven’t been around a lot to begin with). During this next month or so, if you could send a good thought my way, I’d really appreciate it. :o)

I hope you all are doing well and *HUGS* to you. Thanks so much.

WOW!!!

I can hardly believe it’s May! The little niece is already 3 months old and is making great progress in the realm of Tummy Time and Rolling Over! She is such a good baby…except when she doesn’t want to take her nap! :o)

Next weekend, the families will be getting together to celebrate her 100-day Birthday! Our family’s version of it will be less traditional and more just celebrating the fact that she is growing and is a healthy little chubster! I still remember the day she was born and holding her for the first time…oh geez I better show you some FOs before I get all teary-eyed!

Bootie-socks made with yarn I dyed with Kool-Aid.

Same pattern but using a different skein of Kool-Aid dyed yarn.

I’ve also been trying to use up a bit of my Kool-Aid stash…

Brick

Seafoam

Green

These were so much fun to make! It has been really fun trying to dye yarn with more saturated colors and little peeps of different colors–like this skein of Green (above).

The wedding has definitely been taking up a lot of my free time the past few weeks and the fiance is really getting into it, which is a tremendous help! We definitely make a good team and I’m feeling very lucky that he is mine! :o)

Hope you all have a great week and happy knitting (and spinning)!!!
