It's a Mystery.....

Congratulations to all the recent graduates.  My darling son recently graduated and I am so very proud of him.  I was very impressed by the speeches the students gave as well.  They were excellent and much better than MANY that I have heard from adults with experiences writing and giving speeches.




Have I told you how much I enjoy knitting with Manos and  Malabrigo?
Well, I made another Starving Artist by Laura Linneman in Manos and making progress on the Morrigan Fingerless Mitt by Helen Wynne in Malabrigo














The CTA (Completely Twisted and Arbitrary) SAL (Spin-A-Long) for April/May just finished.  Loop was the Guest Dyer and offered two Amazing Choices.  I selected The "Kaleidoscope Eyes" which consisted of eight colors.
Inspiration
Loop Bump

635 yards n-ply

The Guest Dyer for June/July is Woolgatherings.  The inspiration has been selected, the fiber has been selected and she is working her genius.   Can't wait to see what she comes up with.

Woolgathering Stash
April Club

Swappers Remorse, maybe a little.  I swapped away Red Hot Chili thinking, I wouldn't make anything with it.  I LOVE the color, but .....  Well, TLE recently had an update and guess what, they had Red Hot Chili.... Score!!!!  (Blue Bell wanted to come along as well)
