April Finishes

The end of April is approaching so I need to get my finished projects posted. First, I completed a prayer shawl for a friend who had surgery yesterday. I love Homespun yarn and the way it looks in this pattern that is free on the Lionbrand website. I've made this shawl a number of times and now need to get some yarn for another!
Jean's Shawl
Another friend celebrated her birthday this past Monday, so I finished this scarf for her, and now I need to get some more Cascade Poof and Fizz to make another one. These are two projects I like to keep in the works because they turn out well and are fun and easy to knit.
Dianne's Scarf
This past Monday our family welcomed the first of the spring babies! Elizabeth Alice arrived at 2 PM in Minnesota, and we hope to see her in person in June. I wonder who'e holding her? Could it be Auntie Leanne? Her sweater and booties are winging their way north, and I sure hope they fit!
Welcome, Libby!
The other package that was sent off East contained my puzzle pieces for Pat Winter's Pieces of Friendship swap. This was a fun and challenging project. I learned a lot too! Now to make two more to swap with my friend Kathy.

Three and Four
Now I need to get busy and work on a couple of quilting projects that have been waiting in the wings for a while. Oh, if only I had another pair of hands!
