My very good friend gave me 2 skeins of this wonderful cashmere yarn.  I've had it for over a year and couldn't find anything that I wanted to knit out of it.  Frankly, I was just too scared to use it because it is so wonderfully soft and warm.  Thank goodness for the APQ UFO Challenge as I put the yarn on my UFO project list.   Well it came up in May and I finally got around to working on it during my trip to Minneapolis.   The pattern I used is " The Age of Brass and Steam Kerchief" .  It is a fairly easy pattern and knits quickly. This hand dyed yarn was called Olympus and I think it may no longer be available but there are other wonderful shades of Jade Sapphire.  This yarn was just a dream to work with!! Once blocked you can easily see the pattern details. This will be wonderful to wear in the winter and will be so soft and oh so warm!  Thank you dear friend for the wonderful gift of yarn!!

Daughter #2 and her hubby had a wedding in Minneapolis and they asked me to come along and babysit the grand baby....who would say no to that?  Daughter #1 wanted to visit but when she found out we would be in Minneapolis she decided to just fly there and join us.  Well Daughter #3 didn't miss out on the fun she she came along too! Just how many people does it take to watch a baby? Obviously and entire family! Loved waking up to this little princess! Obviously she loved hanging out with us as well! She went to her first Half Year sale at Nordstroms! And had her first pool adventure! There were a few moments with Dad... But boy did this little princess have an adventure!

I can't believer we are almost at the halfway point for the UFO challenge! May wasn't quite as successful as I wanted it to be.  But being away for the first part of June helped me wrap up my May Knitting UFO. So without further delay the UFO challenge for June is: And what's on my list? Let's hope June is a better month for UFOs!!
