Graduation in Carlsbad

Gemma and Angus ready for their road trip!

On Thursday evening we headed to Carlsbad, CA for my cousin Steven's high school graduation. We were looking forward to seeing my Uncle, Aunt, cousins and Grandpa!

We had a great visit with the family. We spent the Saturday hanging out an my Aunt and Uncle's house. We also ate at my very favorite restaurant El Special Norte in Leucadia. They have the best Chicken Soup and tostadas!!!

I was also lucky enough to visit the LYS in Encinitas called The Black Sheep. I bought a couple of balls of Crystal Palace Dragonfly to make a purse for Gemma. They had a great selection of yarn! Tons and tons of Noro for all you fans and the Manos selection was to die for! I highly recommend a trip to this shop if you are trying to beat the heat this summer.

On a knitting note I was able to get tons of knitting done this weekend while we were driving. Below is the test knit sweater I am doing for SWTC. It is for a 6 year old girl and is in bamboo.




The pattern is purl 5, knit 1. I like working with the bamboo, but it is a bit hard for my liking.



Here is the baby blanket for my sister-in-law who is due in July.
