I am back after spring break.  We went to Florida for 4 days.  It was lovely, but I didn't find a single yarn store on the beach.  I did a lot of work on the 
Aran afghan I am working on.  After getting home, I got SSS finished.  The yarn I used (
KnitPicks dye your own lace weight) had a color difference between the 2 balls.  I guess you should buy the balls within less than 1 year from each other.  To try and hid this color change, I dyed the shawl with black tea (recipe at 
KnitPicks website).  I like the final color, but I am still not really happy with the finished pattern.  I really like 
symmetrical things and this just isn't quite right.  So here is a picture of the finished stole.

Pattern: Spring Shawl 
Surprice, Mother Earth
Yarn: 
KnitPicks dye your own 
laceweight, 1 1/2 hanks
Needles: 3.25mm
Finished size: 25" x 77"
The other projects I have been working on are the 
Amigurumi animals.  They are very cute and addictive to make.  I had 2 sets to make for some babies that are 
coming or have already arrived.
For Baby Sanford:

For Baby Amanda:

I also just finished a pair of socks, but the picture is on the other camera that I can't operate.
