In His Steps

Sorry I've been MIA for so long. I have posts to do up, but April burned me out... So bear with me and hopefully I'll have some get up and go.

So Spousal Unit and I decided to accompany Douglas up to Idaho to see his children for a long weekend. We surprised them and had a wonderful few days. Ostensibly, I was also there to attend the Nampa Fiber Fair, which we brought Douglas and his kids to as well. This is Claire, looking absolutely adorable. "Hmm..." "Are we supposed to touch those, Dad?" "Is it safe?" "I'll... try it." And Spousal Unit and I sniping each other, heh. Claire found some chalk marks and we taught her how to play hopskotch. There was a sheep whose fleece had been rainbow dyed and it was sheered and auctioned off later in the day. Sheered llamas just look ridiculous. Just sayin'. And look who we found! Kit was working the Greenwood Fiberworks booth and was a delight as always. I may or may not have left with $90 of roving... >.>

So my knit night friend Jill is having twin babies! I made her some cute booties and all our knit night friends came together and through her a shower! Jill showing off some of her cute presents! And she found the booties I made her! All in all, we all had a lovely time! I can't wait to meet the boys!

A collection of images that remind me of Zion. (I apparently forgot to publish this, so yes, this is late.)

I used to post an in-depth look at my stash every so often, so this post will be full of yarn! But, I am not going to go over each and every skein like I have in the past. For that, you can check out my Ravelry stash page ! But, for perspective, here is what my yarn stash looks like right now: It's the two dark blue bins, as well as the black bin. And that's it, actually. Knitting for dolls does not take up much yarn. The blue bin to the top left has my worsted/aran and plus sized yarns, the black bin has all my lace weight, fingering, and sport weight yarns, and the blue bin to the left of the middle row has yarns that are already designated for a project. Those yarns are bagged and labeled for ease of finding. So, there you have it! My yarn stash!

This movie/musical was the cheesiest thing I ever saw growing up, and I loved it. Some movies are so bad they are almost good--and this about qualified. So enjoy a song from it. I regret nothing.

During our New Hampshire trip, Spousal Unit, Anki, and I all went to Boston to see the history and we were not disappointed! Enjoy my photos taken as we walked in the footsteps of our country's founders. There are a lot, though! Bookstore cat.... Our "yellow brick road," so to speak. How to make chocolate! It was very bitter.
