Stash
How can anyone really answer that question? I don't think there is ever enough stash. I see yarn all the time that I would love to add to my stash.
On the knitting front, my friend loved the baby blanket I knit for her son. I was thrilled about that! I also started another clapotis (my 2nd) with Socks that Rock yarn. I will post pics soon. I believe that this one I will keep for myself. Later guys!
Behind the Times
Sorry - I am behind in answering my Questions of the Week 1 & 2. So here goes.....
#1 - What is your favorite summertime drink? - Beer, Beer, Beer and more Beer. I like most light beers.
#2 - As a kid what did you look forward to about summer vacation? -- Sleeping late, playing with friends all day.
I finally finished the baby blanket, but as I have a summer cold/cough and the baby was born last week, I cannot bring it to her yet.... Hopefully soon.
Later.....
