Just popping in...

To say hi! Hope everyone had a nice weekend. Ours was kind of wet and busy as usual. I did finish this for my MIL for Mother's Day...well after she left from dinner here. LOL! I made roasted chicken x 2 ...they were small organic ones (hubby won't let non-organic chicken in here anymore...) and I had enough left for another meal..yay, one less cooking night! I tried a new recipe to me from the Barefoot Contessa....I love cooking with fresh herbs and one day hope to have a herb garden of my own...

Flower washcloth from Weekend Knitting in Crystal Palace Cotton Chenille in White and Yellow.

I am sure a lot of you have made these since this book has been around for a few years, but I finally finished one and have another one on the needles. I'll see her Tuesday and hope to have both done...since I had the yarn since Christmas ;). She did another gift to hold her off... Myself I got a lovely new teapot and cup set, now I only need one of those metal holders to put the loose tea in and voila, more than 1 cup of tea. I also got one of those willow tree figurines of a mom holding a child.

I also forgot to post that I finished my sock on 2 circs class last week, I learned so much about sock knitting and I am so glad I took it.



I am on the heel flap of the second sock and hope to finish very soon as I need a pair for the sock a month KAL and I have too many favorite sock yarns sitting there waiting to be cast on :) Those and a few sweaters, tanks, bags, ummm you know there is a reason why I don't have progress bars or "on the needles" sections on this blog...don't you ;)

Great sock! My DH also loves to cook with fresh herbs, and I would love to start growing them seeing as they are so expensive to buy.
Also, love the dishcloth! :)
