Who's a Lucky Duckie?

I am such a lucky duck, with my job that gives me 6 weeks off in the summer! This lucky duck also has a plentiful yarn stash and plans to knit and ride all through the season, starting next week. Yay, and lucky me indeed! I feel like such a lucky duck that I've made myself new friends, yanno, to share the joy and adventure with!

I've knit them on the couch, watching movies with my favorite guy (neither of these is my favorite guy...he's not that into having his photo taken)...

I've knit them (and these socks) 

...while watching baseball and brothers!

I've watched my collection of knitted ducks grow from flat bodies, 

...to plump poultry (ducks are poultry, like chickens, right?),

...to freshly-billed, flat-footed, fancies!

I've even played a little game of yarn chicken with some of the colors. This is all I had left of the white, and I was sweating it there for a minute! 

By the way, in my world of tiny, knitted things, I've also had to explain to Sweetie that this is not a bowl of snacks, though candy colors do seem to be a theme in this flock!

Yes, this week has been just...well, duckie! Perhaps inspired by this bird and her brood...

...or maybe these "ugly ducklings" we saw on our walk last night. 

I know, I know...you thought I'd be a Cedar Point yesterday...but it was such a good night for a walk with my hubby. We also found wild garlic growing, which has put the kibosh on kissing for the time being...but it was tasty!

Aaand, that seems like as good a place as any to bring the post to a close. I hope your week has had some adventure and things that make you smile. Enjoy your weekend, and be sure to let me know when I can meet you at Cedar Point over the next few weeks! (AUMC Peeps, I'll be there tomorrow!)

Yarn, Friends and Fun Times

I really thought I was going to fit in a bonus post this week, to tell you all about Woolapalooza #15, but I keep forgetting that I work in an educational setting now. May is crazy in an educational setting, friends! I've made it through...and I only have 2 weeks left in the office until I can play "Summer Break" for a few weeks, yay! But I digress...you stopped by to see the haul, right? Well, here it is!

And I met some new friends...

"Our knit group was the Gazindas, because everything
"gazinda the bag" when we're yarn shopping!"

and I played with established friends, who have been coming here with me since 2010! We'll be Gazindas one day. For now, there's still more brown and blonde hair than gray!

After the shopping, there was the usual lunch and margaritas...wait, where did mine go? Did I drink the whole thing? <hic!> I did...and it was delicious!

At the end of this busy week, after barely knitting at all, our oldest grandson graduated from Kindergarten. While I was unable to attend the graduation, Mr Pretty and I met him at Cedar Point (his parents went home when we got there), and we rode the Mine Ride twice, 

Magnum once, and also the wave swinger and Ocean Motion! Plus the Dodgems with Pop Pop!

It was almost dark when we left, but before that, we took some fun photos, 

and found a tiny duck! 

Whoever left this behind, thanks! Look at that smile!

Ok, am I caught up on the blog now? I think yes. 😁 More next week, to be sure...but for now, I think I'll sit and knit a bit. Any objections?
