Snow on April 11th???

Blogger has been mean to me, so I am just now getting this up on my blog. hmmm.

We woke up to plenty of wet heavy snow that day and it felt like January instead of April. DH still took the pups down to the Lake for their walk. Heh, heh I stayed inside and knitted where it was warm.

I got 53 little preemie hats crocheted up between Fri. April 6th and this past Sunday, April 15th. Now I am on to booties. LOL the little buggers don't go so fast as the hats! I did finish the knitting on the 3 rd pair since Sunday, just have to bind them off now. and I am busily knitting on the boot socks for DGS that are due to be done by Sat. the 21st. Yikes, I gotta get those needles humming!

This pic was taken during a really windy day earlier this week. Fortunately, the snow didn't last too long. but the wind is really raw down by the water's edge. This is the light house on Lake Michigan at St. Joseph, MI, from about a quarter mile up the shore.

Well, I'm having some problems getting pic in this post so I will quit while I am ahead. DJ

April Showers of the knitting kind!

Knitting for Children yahoo group is having an April Shower for the University of Kentucky Medical Center NICU, in memory of our dear Nancy Scott, who passed away about a year and a half ago. Some members are blitzing hats, booties, blankets for the NICU to give to their preemies. Here is a picture(looks bad on my monitor) of the 12 hats that I have blitzed so far this week. I am using Bernat Softee and a G crochet hook with Bev Qualheim's pattern from Bev's Country Cottage. The pattern is called Hats, Hats, Hats! I will be blitzing all weekend, too. I hope to knit booties next weekend. I think from what I am seeing on the list, that we are going to come close to our goal for the whole year in the month of April. That would be wonderful!

I have a pair of boot socks to finish this weekend for DD # 1, but that shouldn't take long. I have a couple rounds to knit on the toe decreases and then just graft them and work in the ends. I don't think I will be seeing her until later in the week, next week, anyway.

I haven't mailed any charity knitting in so very long, I'm ashamed to say. I will be so happy to put some things in the mail for this month. I have some socks to get in the mail for Children in Common, too, for Aprils challenge.

The wind has been fierce here this week and we got some nice wave pictures of Lake Michigan again, yesterday. Love that lake!

I rode with DD#3 to take DGS to his Dad's tonight. We had a nice visit and stopped at nice locally owned pancake house and had a great breakfast for dinner. LOL We get to spend almost no time together now that she is working again, so this was very nice.

Gotta go get the crochet hook smokin'. DJ
