I thought I had updated this in March, but I just noticed that I my last post was the last day of February. I have been busy, only I feel like I haven't finished anything. I have been stressed out lately with taxes. I don't do taxes for profit- I do it as a favor to my family. To add to that I am self employed and I have to get all that stuff together. Every year I say I am going to do a better job of keeping everything in order, but I seem to forget that before I actually do it.

I have been trying to spindle spin:

I haven't yet finished my navajo plying of this fiber:

Then I have way too many WIP's going on. I had stuck to only working on 1 project at a time so far this year. I recently cast on a few too many projects, the end of the school year is coming up and the kids want to give teachers gift. I have Arianne's sweater going on:

The color is a charcoal and not the washed out color that it is.

Then I am making a Clapotis for one teacher:

Then for another it is a: One Skein Stole (Ravelry link) This is a swatch- I haven't taken a picture of it since I cast on.

Last but not least I started making these felted booties for my nieces baby:

Seaming the bottom to the boot is really difficult, so that is what is keeping the boots from being done. Then I made the adornments from the wrong color so I have to re-knit those.

All but the boots are farther in progress than the pictures. I need to finish something soon!
