A year ago these two little fuzz-balls found their way into our home and hearts. What a fun year they have made this.

Boston, Monkeys, and Sockapalooza

Warning Picture Heavy Post:
Last week was our 1st anniversary so we headed off to Boston to celebrate, what a fun few days it was! We walked the Freedom Trail, went to the Gardens, visited Quincy’s Market the Duck Tours and a tour of Fenway Park. We also went to Windsor Button’s where I purchased some sock yarn to make socks for Scott and I. Scott choose Claudia Hand Painted Yarns in “Spring Break” and I picked up C.H.P.Y. in “Blue Fields,” I think that these are going to make beautiful socks that will remind us of our first anniversary.
Here are some pictures of our trip:

This year I am trying to get more involved in the knitting community in search of friends who knit so I joined Sockapalooza 4. This is the first time that I am doing anything like this and am having such a great time. I am almost finished with the first of my Sockapalooza 4 Socks:
Meida's Socks

I’m knitting “Meida’s Socks” from Favorite Socks in Lorna’s Laces in China Blue. I hope that my pal likes them.

This is long enough so 7 things will have to wait for another day.
