I also include a photo of Winnie's babies we donated to the church on Sunday.
I love to knit, crochet, and now, thanks to winning a sewing machine, a renewed interest in sewing.

My First Shrug
Last week, my friend and I went to the yarn shop at the lake. They had this scrumptious yarn by James Brett, Fusion Chunky, and a pattern made up with it. I fell in love with the little shrug, and so I bought the pattern and the yarn. It only took six days to do (minus time to do household chores). The pattern is from "Knitting Pure and Simple" and is named "Bulky Shrug". It's the first one I've ever done!!! I like the colors of the yarn, but it is Boucle, not my favorite. Oh well, we learn by doing...
