Updates

a little at a time...
I moved last week!! We closed late Monday afternoon and moved the same day. I was also sick sick sick. It wasn't fun... not only could I not breathe, but I lost my voice as well!
But then my sister came to visit Thursday. She was down in Orlando for work so I drove to pick her up; we even made a quick(ish)stop at IKEA. I'll get into more detail about the house and my sister's visit later.
First, an update on a couple knitted items!
I made another bib for little Katie who is due in May. This was the sequel to the pink bib:



Do you like the horsie button? I got it in the same package as the pig button... and there is a lion (which I need to save for my sister) and an elephant. Oh, and the dreaded giraffe.
I wasn't sure about the green color but then one of the girls in my knitting group said it would be perfect when the baby is eating peas!! : )

And what's this?

Hmmm... what could that knitted thing be??

OH! It's THING TWO!!
And I did end up making it a scarf... a wide scarf... but it only took two skeins of yarn. Since it's cotton, it's super soft too!
I wasn't going to post this next photo but then I thought Katie might get a kick outta my shirt. Not baby Katie who received the bib! Adult Katie!


I gave it to Joni. She lives in a suburb of Kansas City so I figured she would get much more use out of it than me...
Yes, she's outside in the sun wearing a short sleeve tee... but it's March and we're in Florida... and I wanted some photos!


Then I got her to work it... show us you love the scarf, Joni!



And a final close up.



I finished my mouse... except for his tail. I've been lazy about taking pictures of it though. If I'd been smart I would have gotten a couple while I was talking the scarf shots. Apparently I'm not smart...

And now I'm tired so I'll have to continue posting later about the house and such... : )

Tracy, everything came out great! I have two unfinished projects waiting for me. I sort of lost interest in knitting when the semester started and especially now that the weather is a lot warmer. My evenings are busy and scarves suddenly don't seem so important. I'm glad you've kept it up, though.

Congrats on closing on your house! I'm sure that was a big relief. I can't wait to see it for myself in a couple weeks.

And thanks for the KU t-shirt photo :) For a while, all my Facebook friends were posting about KU. It's all they think about there!

Tracy, check your Facebook! I'm thinking of being in Jax Tuesday or Wednesday night next week. Let me know how that sounds. I was thinking dinner and drinks or something.
