oh where to begin...

lets see...as you can see i have been knitting...just on a smaller scale/smaller things...on saturday i had this grand illusion of knitting a bike...so with a little floral wire...pliers...dpns...and scrap yarn...a few hours later it was born...my own little unicycle...yes i'm very aware that i'm a little strange...and now i'm thinking about knitting a few different styles of bikes...a tricycle...10/12 speed...bmx...mountain bike...maybe i'll even go as far as a knitted red radio flyer wagon...hmmm that maybe on the needles next...*scratching chin while cocking eyebrow* now where is my red yarn?

on the 25th of april we celebrated ricky's birthday and our 7th anniversary of marital bliss...this year i gifted him 7 olives in a jar with a tag saying "olive you" i told him for each anniversary we celebrate i'll knit him a new one and add it to the jar...he was surprised...and i didn't cave and give them to him early...



as for home life...well nothing much is new...dani will soon be finished with school and off to jersey to visit his dad for two months...he'll be returning home a little early only to be attending the 100 anniversary of scouting this year with his troop...and as for dami he has been loving the warmer weather...we've been spending the majority of our days outside in the sun gardening or in the pool/slip and sliding...every so often he'll put in a knitting request...the latest one was a rocket for oliver(his little blue bear)to ride on...

i've knitted a few other things...but haven't photographed/post them on rav...echo flower shawl in kiwi green is one of the 10 shawls in 2010...it's mum's for mothers day...i cast on and knitted a few pattern repeats then suddenly realized that i only had 375 yards...not even enough yarn to complete the shawlette version...i purchased the yarn a while back and was sure they wouldn't have anymore so i knit 7 pattern repeats...after blocking 42x19...dammit vontorchie pay attention...
