GWP Beach Weekend!

Last weekend was beach weekend with one of my knitting groups.  We rented a fabulous house right on the water on Oak Island.  And this year I actually got to go from Thursday night to Sunday!

Friday I knit these for the boys...
(they're all ready drunks and they can swim in their wine glass, such fun!)
and worked on my shawl...
Saturday we went to Knitting up a Storm in North Myrtle Beach - definitely one of my favorite shops here in the South!  I bought this Lantern Moon bag...
(Actually Leslie and I discussed it, I decided I didn't need it, she bought it and then I took it from her instead of her paying me back the money she owed me... but who really needs the whole story?)

And I started a new sweater...

What a great weekend!!!

De-Stashing

D is sick, so last night instead of getting to have date night with hubby and see Grown Ups, DH watched the NHL draft and I de-stashed.

At one point D came downstairs and saw me sitting on the floor of the living room with yarn all around. He said "awe Mommy, you're cute sitting in the middle of the pretty yarn!". That's my kid!

I wish I'd taken some pictures - it's amazing how much yarn I had shoved various places in the house (and how much crappy yarn I was just hanging onto for no good reason). Two overflowing bags were freecycled this morning. Now I'm back down to one tote! And I found yarn in my stash for a project that I want to start today. YAY!
