First Day of School

Okay...I know this is over a month late. It's been very busy. Getting back into choirs and school, etc.

Danielle turned 15 about 2 weeks after this was taken and now starts Driver's Ed in a week. We are not sure we are ready for this:

Danielle first day as sophomore

Matthew tolerated having this taken....what can I say, he's all boy.

Now it's time to focus on getting ready for my cruise. We head for South Beach in 31 days and I'm so ready. Bring on the beach!!!

Knitting update

I have been busy working on some small knitting projects and thought I would share with everyone.

One loom mittens - these are in Carolina Panthers colors. I have made several of these in different school colors.

A regualar toboggon type hat. I've also done several of these in various school and team colors.

This is another hat, but with a waffle-weave look and a rolled brim.

I have made several of these scarves in purple, red and pink. The yarn is so very soft. I was getting it at my local Hobby Lobby for $0.99 skein but they quit selling it.

This is a toboggon hat and scarf I made for Brian....camo, of course.

And this is what I'm working on now. A scarf with fringe for Danielle. It's in her school colors.

She also wants a pair of fingerless mittens that I have a pattern for. I tried to make one, and didn't like the way it turned out. Guess I need to try again since she really wants them.
