Happy Mother's Day!!!
It was probably a typical day for me, if not more normal - I've pretty much spent the day cleaning! (Way more than I usually do.) I am just finishing up a cake for my MIL who is allergic to dairy and soy - it looks pretty good, but it took away from my gym time. Oh well, I'll go tomorrow.
I've been very busy knitting lately. (And crocheting.) I am happy to say I finished my 3rd sweater for the year! Not sure I'll make it to 12 this year like last year, but we'll see. I really love how it turned out. I randomly started a sweater months ago when I was going to the movies and needed something stockinette to knit while I was there. I tried one thing with a garter embellishment, but I didn't like that and ended up ripping that back to the sleeves. I finished this sweater yesterday. It's just a standard raglan sweater with 3/4 sleeves made with Knit Picks Elegance (I wish my stash was getting smaller, but it seems just as large!) and then I decided to pick a lace pattern to add to the sleeves, and I just love it.
I've also started and frogged a scarf that I just got totally bored with:
It was in double stranded laceweight, the Gathered Scarf pattern that is pretty easy, but really really boring.
I also started and finished a scarf for one of the 3 teachers in our class. I've got 2 done, and am 1/3-1/2 way done with the purple scarf I started a few months ago. I'm doing fine with my teacher gifts that are due on June 18th.
So far so good! I've got only about 6 WIPs going right now (2 sweaters, 1 scarf, 1 rug, 2 baby blankets) and I've got to run out of yarn eventually, right? ;)
