What have I been doing lately?

Sorry for my absence! I've been very busy at the new job (going well), and taking advantage of the warm weather to get a few things done around the garden.

Last sunday I began Rhonda's crochet class at my LYS. I never learned to crochet, and there have been many times I've chose not to work on a knitting pattern because it had crochet finishing. No more! We are working on a scarf that will have a wave pattern.



Lest you think I've been neglecting my knitting... I'm still plugging away at the
Maggie Sweather, aka "sweater number two". Here's a peek:

Ice Queen e finito

I finally finished it! The picot cast off was a bit of a challenge. But, when you stop and actually follow directions, its not so bad!

Here's a few preliminary pics. I'll eventually put some better ones on ravelry. But for now this is what I have.
