SAL sock #1

I bought a huge bag of vintage wool from the Salvation Army this summer(brown &green).
I am going to keep track of how many pairs of socks I can make out of this wool.
All for $2.50 (gotta love 1/2 price day)

have you heard of the blanket statement? sort of the same idea, but I'm just going to make socks.
(not as exciting as her projects)

shop is updated

I updated my shop with pictures from the photo shoot -come on over and take a look.

photo shoot

I did it!!! I was approved as a liscensed knitter for little turtle knits.
I have always dreamed of working as a liscensed knitter and now I finally get the chance.
I wanted to give my Etsy shop more of a professional look now that I have some hats to sell, so my friend Azuree agreed to take some photos for me.
I asked a few of my friends if I could snag their children for the shoot and Azuree ended up taking some amazingly cute pictures.
I will let you know when my shop is updated.

ahhhhhh a weekend in the country

I don't have a garden in Chicago-but I do have a patch of Iris flowers that are guaranteed to make the neighbors jealous.

special guests

My friends came to my classroom to talk about New Zealand today.
(looking at a sting raye skeleton).
Then I took the kids outside and we played in the rain.....

Happy weekend to you!!!

I turned the big 35 last week.
I was spoiled rotten-
and then I had the chance to escape the city and go to the country.

and....all of my presents were knitting related.
gosh, 35 is starting off to be a good year.
