Happy Saturday! And a Couple Finishes ~

We've had some nice weather lately and actually walked sans umbrellas! There's a fun trail not too far away where you can see a lake, some metal sculptures, and ends up at a fun playground. We also saw an eagle thanks to the lady in the red jacket but were too slow to get its picture. Then we saw a man who told us that it was part of a flock of 7 that he'd seen earlier.





Along with taking walks, I've also been knitting. I know you're not surprised by that. Here's another dish cloth from what has become one of my favorite patterns. Now, if only I could get it more square!


And I finished a WIP using Bamboo Pop yarn which I don't think is available anymore. However, I just discovered a lot of it in my stash. Are you surprised?


And my Minion hat fits with room to grow.  I've been promised a front view where you can see its eyes.  This little guy is our daughter's nephew and a real cutie.


Have a great weekend!

Seven eagles? Oh, my. We have a pair here and they scare me to death. They are so darn big and fierce. A flock would be terrifying.
Sweet dishcloth and that hat..how cute is that?

The bird-shaped arch is interesting. Are all of the sculptures like that? The area must have good fishing if a group of eagles is hanging around.

I do miss the eagles at Loon Lake that we used to watch. I've only seen one since we moved here and it was in a wildlife sanctuary. Not the same at all. It's so nice to be able to comment and say hi again. I've enjoyed seeing all of your hats take shape. The little minion wearer looks pretty cute! :-)
Blessings,
Betsy

Nice knitting! It bugs me when the dishcloths aren't square! The cowl and hat are very pretty indeed!

Yes! I love the bits of sunshine we have been having and grateful for all the wool hats I have for my daily walks
