We have had a beautiful spring here in Maryland and lots of things have been blooming and growing. Our yard has been gorgeous:
The azaleas in our front yard started blooming earlier than ever this year!
The peonies that Max transplanted from his dear Aunt Elizabeth's yard have been thriving.
The new students in my spring classes have been learning and their projects are all growing.
Some of my students have been making TWO of the beginner scarves:
Here is Diane working
on one of her beginner scarves
and her other scarf is on the table.
Julie is making the red scarf for her daughter and the one she is working on in class is going to be for herself.
( I always encourage my beginner students to keep their first project.)
We are babysitting our "cutie pie" grandson Charlie three days a week. When he was here recently I took pictures of his little hands and feet.
Aren't those the cutest little feet you've ever seen?
We have so much fun with him and are so lucky to have him living close by!
And speaking of babies’ little feet, one of the things that I have been knitting recently are some easy baby booties:
2 other projects that have been on my needles lately have been a Scarf and a Neck warmer made from “Changes” yarn by Red Heart.
The yarn is really so pretty and interesting. You can read more about Changes yarn and see what colors it comes in at

Look around you this spring, dear friends and family, and see, feel, smell the creativity of God all around you: babies wide eyed with wonder, trees that had bare branches all winder now full of green leaves, new flowers filling our world with color and life!
Fondly, Mary
