I think it would be fun to make the other tessellating pattern I saw from the designer. It's only one shape, which might be better for my sanity ;): Tiling Fish Pattern.
I've finished to the turtle firsts and have completed a fish (not pictured). I started the duck, but I probably won't get to it until the weekend. Hopefully, I can get a picture of all three shapes on Sunday for your viewing pleasure.
Knitpicks is having a fun sale through May 24, that if you buy 5 or more skeins of the same type of yarn, you get 20% off: Pick Your Pack Sale. For a sweater, blanket, or another large project...this is a great opportunity. This is an unsolicited advertisement :).
Last Sunday, I found a sweater that I want to make just for me. It's knit in Shine, a KnitPicks yarn that is so soft: KnitPicks Shine Yarn. I put a link to the pattern in my last blog post. What is it with stripes and chevrons that I love so much? I'm not sure when I'll be able to sit still and start that sweater, but it's on my list. It seems like I get crafting done when I'm feeling under the weather, which was how it was this weekend.
I flaked out on all of my weekend plans. We have an unpleasant cough going around, and I had stomach issues. Maybe that's why I have some crafty items completed ;). This isn't whining, but I missed out on meeting with a friend/colleague for "grunging," a term meaning thrift shopping along with a happy hour/dinner; going to the knitting group...finally; and attending a committee meeting for my son's cub scout pack. I feel the worst about the last one. When did I become one of those parents who never shows up to stuff? Thanks to Caroline who always fills in for me. I just show up for the off times when she can't.
Wish me luck...I have some big projects that really need to get moving this week. Maybe I'll get the bug to design something again ;).
