Wedding Gift Knit

Dave's cousin is getting married Memorial Day weekend. Guess what she's getting??? Hand-knit dishcloths! And a scrubbie thingy... and a gift card to BB&B...


I used my favorite cotton yarn, Sugar'n Cream, in "Natural Ombre."  I always like to see how the variegation makes a pattern as I knit different projects.  This one turned out very nicely, in my humble opinion.

Current Events vs. Pop Culture

I'm a week behind in my "current" events, but these are still funny!

Good Morning, Gorgeous!

The first of my non-purple irises made its debut this morning!

In Bloom


I was excited to see that my first iris had bloomed when I got home from work on Friday.  Another opened Saturday afternoon, and when we got home from the in-laws this evening, there were four!  I'm just wondering where the yellow and the white ones are (after all, I chose the multi-colored package...)  These flowers are special to me because I planted them on the day of my grandfather's funeral, so I call them my "Grandpa Irises."
