Spring Break

Spring Break was wonderful this year. This is the first time my family and I actually got away and we had a great time renting a beach house on Galveston Island. Both the girls brought friends and it was just a lazy week. I say lazy, but boy did I finish a bunch of projects. So, while this post is small, there are many pictures of things I FINALLY finished -- my UFOs have become FOs!

First, my self-striping pink socks out of Lana Grossa Meilenweit Fantasy. Basic sock pattern, but boy was it fun seeing the pattern change. I finished the first sock a long time ago, but could never get past the heel on the second.


Next, a cupcake for my cupcake-crazed daughter. I guess it is all the rage right now. Anyway, it was easy as pie once I sat down to do it. Just doing it was the thing. This pattern is in the book ONE SKEIN by Leigh Radford.


Next, a hat that I started near Thanksgiving when I was doing a musical called INTO THE WOODS for a friend. The problem was that I didn't know how to do entrelac and I thought I could figure it out. Well, I couldn't, until I took the class. Then it went really fast and was kind of fun. My husband, unshaven from the holiday, was kind enough to model the hat for me.


Next, I'm sure you've seen those cute little sheep patterns from Patternworks? I think there are 4 of them. Anyway, I bought this one a long time ago. Silly, I know, but it was just so darn cute. Again, something I started right away, but never finished. Didn't take any time on my break.


And finally, last, but certainly not least, I finished my first sock design. I showed a pic weeks ago when I completed the first sock but could never get around to completing the second in order to check the pattern. Now I have. What do you think?


Now I just need to write up my pattern. I'll offer it free once I write it up.
