heather's wingspan

Hello, Everyone,
It's a rainy Saturday morning in San Diego.  I didn't sleep much, crazy nightmares.  Listening to classical guitar on Pandora, very nice.

My sister and I are knitting wingspan a free pattern on Ravelry.  I have some worsted weight yarn that was given to me in bright crayon colors as stripes, she is using a black color-splashed dk boucle.  They are coming out very different.

Here she is working on hers.

I got pics from the Easter picnic. Brothers playing at the beach..


Lilo is hating the rain and wants to sit on me or the warm spot in my bed, where she is now.

Rain, rain, go away, Lilo wants to come out and play...

See ya...
