Sunday Knitting

It is spring and the wind has come! But with it, so has the sun. Morning service was rockin' and there was not much time for knitting, but I did get some pictures of Mary knitting a pair of pretty pink socks! Mary says, "I'm blessed that we go to a church that listens to the Spirit and follows Almighty God (and is free enough to allow knitting during the sermon)."

Yesterday we spent the morning hustling from one yard sale to the next in search of books, clothes and various booty (aargggh) to clutter up our respective houses. I was looking for a beach cruiser bike from the seventies and a tea tray since I have officially become hooked on tea time. But, alas, I found only a jean jacket, a sweater, and two cute little tins (all for the lovely price of $2.25!) Mary was in search of a mattress cover, which she found for $2.00 and some wonderful old books, including The Neverending Story, by Michael Ende and The Trumpeter of Krakow. She was also looking for tools and anything else she didn't know she needed.

Saturday night I spent the evening searching for my Kool-aid dyed yarn from two years ago. I never did find the extra bit I wanted, so I unraveled an unfinished sock that I didn't have enough yarn to finish an actual pair in order to make a cell phone cover. It was fun designing it, but I don't particularly like the button and am looking for a wooden leaf instead. I also spent some time with my dad and my stepmom from Federal Way and we had a great time looking through the new yarn shop. And no, I didn't buy anything!!!
