Spring things

 

Jon's Towering Inferno

It was the first cookout since forever. The Hardys got a grill, and Jon fired it up.

 

So, yeah, it's spring in Rochester...this was April 20th

 

Corona socks Done

I think this is the 11th pair of socks since Corona took over our lives.

This is what I painted today

What I learned from Twitter today

 

Corona socks number 12

Just getting started with these. 2.25mm needles seem so small today.

Flowers for a rainy day

Ususally, I knit while I'm waiting for something to happen on zoom, or in a meeting that is going on forever. Today, this happened instead.

In the front yard

No idea at all what these are, but they are so pretty!

Art by Josie Lewis

She's an Instagram artist, who does all sorts of amusing and fun art. She loves to lay the acrylic paint on thick, and this painting also has the added attraction of mica glitter in each color. Some of her critics call her a paint waster, but I say keep doing what you do, Josie!

It's Teatime

 

It is spring in Anna’s front yard

I open the sketchbook and actually paint in it

One of my little students is learning about insects, and she thought we should paint some bugs.

I went to Anna’s house

She's packing up her kitchen stuff, to get ready to rent out her house.

We've had our shots, so we were safe.

I took a little walk

Yes, that's me with the tiny Pinocchio head. Short nose means no lying. 

Lo and behold, a sewer cover from my own home state. 

So, as you can see this was a very exciting walk. 

First haircut in over a year

I went to 12 Corners, and got a real haircut from a real licensed person who is not me in my bathroom with the sewing scissors. 

Mr. Fuller Goes Fully Leprechaun

This is my first grade co-teacher, Mr. Fuller. We had a staff meeting on St. Pat's Day, and he really took it to heart. PS- that beard is real.

Two more tiny sweaters

This is Flax by Tincan Knits, and the one below is Dogstar, by the same talented team.

I made the colorwork sweater as a test/experiment with a yarn I hadn't tried before.

Here's the link to my Ravelry page: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/vickibo/dog-star

Random things I found on a walk

I started a complicated little baby sweater.

Okay, I haven't knitted that many sweaters, but this pattern starts out with the sleeves.  I did them two at a time. Then you go to the bottom of the body of the sweater and knit up to the collar. This just seems weird to me. I'm still learning. On the knitting skill scale from 1-10, I'm about a 3.

This pattern is called Dogstar, by TinCan Knits.
