Springtime candy, knitting in progress

It's been a long time since I've posted. I have been knitting! Here are some WIPs:



Brown Sheep Baseball Jacket in Encore Chunky for Son #1, the baseball obsessed kid that he is. He cried so much during the deluge of rain we had in May, because his baseball games were cancelled. Boo Hoo!



This is the beginning of a pair of socks in Sockotta (cotton/wool/poly) for my sis in California. However, I've been messing with the measurements and pattern since she has little feet and the Women's Medium seemed too big.



Lastly, I may have mentioned that I joined the Candyswapper group and I just received this fabulous handmade basket from Heidi of Step Into My Thimble, along with springtime jelly beans, Peach Mentos and chocolate foil ladybugs. It was so beautifully made and presented. Thanks, Heidi!

I made sure I availed myself of WEBS' anniversary sale items. I bought a bunch of yarns to make some very fun things, like the Nina Shawl in the Mason Dixon Knitting book. Should be fun and not hard to do. Loving the warshrags that everyone is churning out!
