May Flowers Continue to Bloom

The last weekend of May is upon us.  Today it feels about right, but this past week has felt more like early April with 40F degree temperatures!  This morning Lucy and I spotted our first iris while on her walk.

Off the Needles

This week I finished six more afghan squares of the Rowan Mystery KAL (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/pure-wool-worsted-mystery-afghan-kal).  I have twelve completed which means I am 25% done.  On to the next pattern of six squares!

On the Needles

I have been making progress on my Giraffe.  It now has legs and I have the ears, tail, and horns ready to attach.  The pattern is by Susan B. Anderson using Cascade 220 yarn in the daffodil and tangerine color ways (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/giraffe-10).

On the Wheel

This has been the week of plying.  I finished plying the 4 ounce bump of Taylored Fibers.  It is ready to be skeined and finished.  Last weekend I finished the singles of the Friends in Fiber Bahama Breeze that I purchased at NH Sheep & Wool.  It is in the process of being plied and should be finished soon.

Other Life Events in NH this Week

Monday was Memorial Day here in the States.  Lucy walked with the Nashua D.O.G. group in the Nashua parade.  She had a good time and many children gave her lots of love.

Two of my best friends lost parents this week so it has been the week of funerals.  Both parents lived long and fulfilling lives, but it is always sad to see a child lose their parent at any age.  May they find comfort in knowing that they will always have them in their hearts.
