These last few days, I have been spinning a lot of yarn. I finally, today took some pictures of some of them in the natural light. I named it Mixed Berry. Various yardages, various weights, all mini skeins between 6-23 yds.
Join me in discussing the world of books, the good, the bad, and the grammatically incorrect. If you so happen to enjoy the creative side of life as well, I post about that sometimes too.

FO Friday
I have 2 FOs this week, but I am only going to show a picture of one. They are both beanies, but for onr, I haven't gotten a picture taken yet, for two, I think I am going to re-knit it sooner or later.
The first is my uncle Jack's birthday present. It's a sort of Dallas Cowboy's beanie, I improvised the look of the star, with Yoda ears. Yes, Yoda ears, which is what he wanted. Please excuse any ends that aren't woven in in this picture, they are woven in now though.

WIP Wednesday
Knitting Progress
Two WIPs this week, Garden View Shawlette which I should be a lot further on. I will be working on it a lot over the next few days, hopefully finishing off the last 4.5 leafs. I've finally got to the point where I can just knit and I know the pattern, it's mindless really once you get it down. I watch TV and work on this, I watch my Podcasts, and I might even work out and knit this one!

Another Picture-Full Day
Today, we looked out in the pots on our porch and we have 3 strawberries growing, one is becoming red and the others have just "blossomed." One of our tomato plants have a pretty good sized green tomato on it, and our lettuce plant has sprouted in two places! I honestly think that having a garden is exciting because everyday that you go out there, you have the thought "Ooh, I wonder what is sprouting today!" or "I wonder if that's fully grown yet!" I think that I like watering the plants most though, it's quiet relaxing!

Picture Time!
Found a cord that works for my phone so now I can show you the picture of the sheep behind our apartment! I don't know what kind of sheep they are, but they are adorable! There are 2 pregnant sheep, way pregnant, which means soon, there will be some baby lambs back there too! It looks like some of the sheep have been sheared, but from what it looks like, the wool has just fallen off. I have heard that you should only shear a sheep once a year, but my thought is that they would get hot and sweaty during the summer. I would shear my sheep whenever I see that they're getting too fluffy or when I need me some fiber. ;) The sheep just look so soft and cuddly, I just want to hug one! :D
