I am in a little critter swap on ravelry so that is going to me my next project I have already started it and will be done it later today if all things go well. I won't post any pictures of it until I am done mailing it off and she receives it. I am also working on a pikachu for my son he likes them sort of things. I will post pictures when I am finished that as well.

I went back into walmart and bought some more of the yarn from my last post, it's such a good deal I can't say no. Now what to make with all of it. I would like to make a felted bag, and maybe try some of the felted slippers. This time I bought blues, greens and reds.
This is all for today, Have yourself a great day and knit something you like. God Bless.

The birds are back

Yes you read it right. The robin is back sitting in the nest, no signs of little ones yet but soon I am guessing. I checked it out, the robins have 2 to 3 nest a year. So I am going have more bird dropping on my step soon.

Enough of them on to my knitting. I got more yarn yes more yarn on sale this time at a $1 a ball for 100% wool. I plan on making a felted bag. Here is the photo of the yarn.

This is all I found when I was in the store, but I went back two days later and they must have put out more so me I bought more the second one is green and I got only 6 balls (thats all there was, if there was more I would have proably got more).

Ok I sent off the bag that I made for the swap I was telling you about and she recieved it yesterday and I am so glad that she likes it. Here is the picture I can now share with all of you. I didn't line it ( I still need to line the two I made for myself, I am not sure how but I will get to it) she is going to.

This is all I have for the birds, They didn't come back. Now I get to clean the porch when they left all the droppings. My son took a picture of that too but I don't think that you all need to see the mess that they left. This is all for this posting God bless and have yourself a wonderful day.
