Bringing in the New Year

New Years Day, we went to the park. It's a very hilly park with bike trails and lots of places to skateboard.

Even Daryn went!

There were lots of things to see.

I was engrossed with this caterpillar. I do think it's a moth after hours of research.

The hawks were out.

I actually got this picture inside the car.

~

Very neat.

And then there were two!

Maybe I'm a little too consumed (:

But so was Sugey. He read his books to them last night

Knitting News!!!!!

I found this on Ravelry after one of my dear friends was knitting it last Monday. It is so pretty. It is a Hamsa Dishcloth but way too pretty to use as a dishcloth. Here's Tikkunknitters website http://tikkunknits.wordpress.com/

The hamsa hand (Arabic) or hamesh hand (Hebrew) is an old and still popular apotropaic amulet for magical protection from the envious or evil eye.

This is a basket weave hat for my nephew Erik. I will make another one for Kent, my sister's other half. (:

You can see the basket weave forming.
