1. I went to the annual Sheep and Wool Festival in these parts. It was lovely. I spent money. I pet sheep. I drooled over yarn yumminess. I was crazy jealous of all the spinners I saw. I had a wonderful, wonderful time.
2. I registered for my beginning knitting class. I have the book, the yarn (purple wool), and size 9 circular needles. Bamboo and not metal. I am seriously nervous but the nice older lady at the shop told me that if I can crochet, I can knit. I want to believe her. The other (much younger) worker person told me that she had a student take beginning knitting last month and is taking a beginning sock making class tonight. There is hope for me, I think.
3. I. Finished. Babette.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
;)
See:
I am very, very happy with her, although the border is a little wonky.
Anyone wishing to leave me lovely comments about my Babette may (please) feel free to do so. :)
I took the day off today and I realized that I only have nine, NINE more days with my kiddos. That makes me sad. I predict many tears on May 18. :(
miss raven is doing well. she has been very playful of late and this pleases me. I am looking forward to spending much time with her this summer.
Now. I am off to make coffee and to try to figure out what is going to fill the void left in my crafting life with the completion of Babette....
