Today I was sitting in my lawn chair quietly knitting and watching two very happy kitties sitting in the sun. I hadn't realized how refined my knitting technique had become until I felt a very slight weight on my right shoulder. Unconcerned I continued knitting but slightly turned my head to see what was there. Perhaps a leaf or the wind playing with the hood of my jacket. I imagine the little bird was as startled as I when we met eye to eye, nose to beak before he flew away!

While visiting a favorite site, Ravelry, I spied this baby blanket and wondered how the Mandala yarn would crochet up in the pattern. There isn't an intended baby recipient so it will be added to the charity pile of of baby items to be given away.

We were just getting geared up for our annual family contest, keeping an eagle eye on the area around our house, and carrying our phones everywhere. Surprisingly, the competition quickly came to a close when Hubby sent the winning photo this morning: Twin fawns but one was hidden... The winner of the 2019 First Fawn of the Season is Hubby!!

After finishing the afghan I had a few bits and pieces of yarn left which I could easily kit into Berkley socks. They are always such a fun knit! Pattern: Vanilla Socks with Fishlip Kiss Heels Yarn: 80-20 sock yarn Colorway: any Needle Size: US Size 1

Last year's stash busting afghan was such a joy to knit and gave me such great mileage for Stash Dash. I decided in March to knit another! I could mindlessly knit meters and meters knowing I wouldn't finish before the start date (NOT cheating!!! You must finish the item after the start date NOT start the item on the start date!) This years afghan doesn't have off white meandering through it but has off white widths with eyelets down the center...

Hubby has discovered hand knit socks and loves to wear them. I recently offered to knit him another pair and he happily agreed. Today when I finished the socks, I asked him to model them for a photo. He replied, "I thought they were my -  You're not my Father, Fathers Day gift." Pattern: Fish Lips Kiss Heel by Sox Therapist Yarn: OOPS! lost the band on the plane....
