This past weekend our soon to be son-in-law graduated from college! We are very proud of him, especially since he started a new job on Wednesday!
The proud parents and in-laws!
I finished my first KAL and mystery project. It is a beautiful shawl. I don't have a picture yet of the finished project. Just finished blocking it and did wear it to church this morning. I love the pattern and can't wait to make another.
When we were down in Russellville for graduation, my daughters and I went to a wonderful yarn shop. Knit 2 Together! Stephanie is wonderful and it felt like being at home. I got some Flounce yarn to make a scarf for Kaylyn and myself, some Classic Elite Lush for some neck scarves I am giving as retirement gifts and some yarn for a tobogan hat for Abby. I can't wait to go back again in a few months. I will post pictures in a bit when youngest daughter, Kaylyn is willing to model for me!
She found time to model. This is her Flouncy scarf, this was so fun and fast to knit. Love it! Going to start mine soon.
As empty nesting goes, come July we will no longer have any kids coming home over breaks or during the summer. Sooooo.... I decided it was time for another addition to the family, a four legged addition. I put the bug in Jim's ear that it was time for a dog again in the house, it has been almost 6 years without one. I had found several online at the shelter, but made him go because I would try to come home with all of them - I just couldn't pick one and not the others...so after a few visits he brought one home.
We decided to name him Joey because he looks like a baby kangaroo and actually jumps across the back yard when he is chasing something. He is about a year old and is house trained. Still likes to chew things, especially my yarn balls. We have had to rewind a few skeins already. Jim did a good job, he and the dog are both keepers!
