Angels, Angels everywhere


I did this in one day believe it or not. It is a 12x12 square. I did not block it as I had to pack it tight to send to CANADA. It is a gift to an Internet friend who is making an afghan for her child.


I found the angel pattern on line...http://www.minidata.co.nz/major/freepatt/patt05a.htm [Thanks Loraine Majors.. you are SUPER] and WOW.... This is the second time I have used it.... It is versatile enough to adapt to various layouts... so far I have been using it in squares for afghans.. but I may try it on something else eventually.
I am still working on a long list of UFO's.. but it is hard to stay focused when so many patterns and yarns keep calling my name........ this little excursion is a good example as I had not planned even 1 week ago to do something like this... I am still working on my son's Easter sweater and will post a picture whenever I get it done... [the back is done.. but the front, oh the front.....]
To top it all off.. as spring approaches, I am a little less inclined to knit, or at least to knit with wool... Staying focused is going to be a task to say the least.......

WOA is me

I can't believe my hoos did it again... I really thought they could beat NC State and make it to the finals of the ACC Tournament... alas I was wrong.... I was knitting away on some WAHOO socks which I will post when more of the second is done.... when they LOST...... Such a good first half too......









Anyway I finished this project for a soon arrival at church... it is crochet.. not my favorite, but it was one of my UFO's so I decided to give it a good home...










Well spring is arriving in Virginia... here is some proof.......


And now I am off to knit some more.. and relax.. after a long day at work [10 hours], going to the Gym for 35 minutes and 2.3 miles on the Ski machine and then home... I am a little tired to say the least..... Add to that the Time switch.. and suffice it to say I won't be knitting that long tonite..... Maybe I can do some more on that Wahoo sock though....
