When you hear the words "let's find her tiara and tutu" coming through the closed door you know you might actually sneak in five minutes of knitting. Right now my 7-year-old Rachel and a neighborhood buddy are dressing up Emily like she's a doll. Ems is a very willing mannequin because at least she's in the middle of it. A little girl has to make sacrifices to be around the big kids sometimes.
Transferred the poncho to 47" circulars to check the sizing on Emily. Hoped to get away with casting off at the end of the current ball, but it's not to be. More important to get wear out of this next year too. Needs about 3 more inches (she's tall).
Speaking of Celtic, or Viking at least, here's the back of my Lavold Silky Wool sweater. It's reverse stockinette, so photographing it is a challenge. I think the dark sky is in my favor with this one.
Only 5 inches of rain? I feel constantly soggy up here in Connecticut. If it's not rain, it's the snow.

Those photos of your green garden look so inviting to this chilly Bostonian....
Those Bauer pots are great, very unusual.
How do you like knitting with the Silky Wool? Love the colorway! I made a tank with it last spring and can't wait to do another one this year.

Hey - I recognize that train! *grin*
The Lavold Silky wool is gorgeous! I can't wait to see the finished sweater. Emily's poncho is adorable - looks like it's going to be fun for her to wear, too.
