today i have finally gotten around to taking pictures of the finished knitted things of late. some of you may find this boring, and if so, scroll down. don't worry - i won't be offended. spiral rib armwarmers - they do look a little like wrist braces. i like the rib pattern, though, and next time i'm planning to make them longer and use a more luxurious yarn from the fancy yarn store. bucket sun hat for adella - here it is blocking/shaping... for a co-worker who is expecting soon - a little hat and matching booties! mistake rib scarf for me! also, guess what - stig started the mulch bed for adella's playground! here it is so far: we still need to secure the frame a little more, and add the rest of the mulch. i'm putting adella's sandbox in the corner (upper right) and i can't wait! i was hoping to do it today, but it is rainy. plus i don't feel like lugging 50lb. bags of sand around. adella loves her little turtle sandbox! i am going to get it out ASAP and buy a few new sand toys too! oh - and maybe a nice big beach umbrella. our purple one bit the dust last fall. i can't wait for spring! yesterday i notices one of the little trees in our yard is starting to get little green buds on it.
