Finishing Touches

What a weekend! I knitted, played, cleaned, played and knitted. The kids and I went to see Pirates 3 and if you haven't seen it, Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) is absolute eye candy at the end of the movie. I won't spoil it for you, but I will say that man makes a delicious-looking pirate.

The kids had a ball "grass surfing" yesterday. My daughter, Andie, hitched a heavy-duty styrofoam wakeboard to the back of our lawn mower and the next thing I knew, my son, Skander, was surfing over the hills of our yard with his sister at the wheel of the mower. Oh well...Jamaica has a bobsled team. ;)

I spent last week and this past weekend putting finishing touches on several projects. You've seen the bibs I did for Emma & Isabelle, but here's a new pair for Saylor (a cousin's daughter who's due in August).

I found adorable polymer clay buttons, a heart & butterfly, and added them to my pink and yellow bibs below.






Note to Self: Get new digital camera. Also photographed below is a pair of baby booties (the first and only pair that I've made so far).

A couple more mesa bowls made with Emu Finlandia and Manos del Uruguay

And Miss Chicken. I plan on either putting a little garland around her neck or (if I can learn how to make one) a mini-shawl.

I also made a tomato hat with Shepherd's superwash.

I attempted to start the Flower Basket shawl, but the provisional cast-on stonewalled me. I'll give it another shot this week. I hope you had a wonderful weekend and Happy Knitting!
