It's been a month

since I've updated the blog...so this post has lots of pictures. Here is my 13 yo with the "baby" of the family...a 75 lb one year old golden retriever. He loves to play as you can see.This is the Pot O Gold dishcloth from the MonthlyDishcloths March KAL. I used Sugar 'n Cream in yellow and 3.75 mm Knitpicks Harmony Options needles.
February 17th was Sarah's birthday but we couldn't schedule a party for her friends until March 14. A good friend made her cake as part of her gift. Tigger is cute, isn't he? He was also delicious!
This is the Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks That Rock January sock club kit. Queen of Beads designed by Sivia Harding. A beautiful pattern and yarn--My Blue Heaven with blue beads, knitted on KnitPicks Harmony 2.25 mm circular needles. The beads were strung before knitting which was different for me since I have always added beads with a crochet hook on the stitch.
Here is a close up shot (blurry though)
Here is the baby tired out after a good run and workout in the back yard.
I ordered some Dream in Color Smooshy from The Loopy Ewe and it came within a week! Great service. The top is Night Watch and the bottom skein is Midnight Derby. These will most likely become socks at some future date.
Here is the "queen" of the house, Si Si. Doesn't she look innocent? She wants to be in my lap and petted.
Here is the regal pose...please ignore the dust and hair...with 4 animals in the house, it's hard to keep it cleaned up.
Here is Si Si poking her head behind the curtain and blinds to look for the birds she hears.
Ranger is so cute. He is at present contained by baby gates until he figures out that he could probably just hop over them.
This is a bad shot of the Diagonal Lace socks by Wendy Johnson. These were a free pattern offered on her blog in celebration of the release of her latest sock pattern book, Socks From the Toe Up.

Into the gusset of the Holidazed socks from the November installment of the 2008 STR club.
I think I may be caught up for now. Hope I don't wait so long next time. TTFN! as Tigger says.
