An Eventful Saturday
On Saturday, we visited the Steam Museum for an iron pour event. Here are some pictures!
They even have a mini train people can ride on. Afterwards, I got some close-ups of friends.

Well, May snuck up on me. I've been in a weird slump for the last week, because my wrist has been acting up and Minecraft has been very alluring. I started a test knit and I'm over half-way done. I didn't buy any yarn! Or fibre! But I haven't seamed together the blanket squares (only five are together).
May goals:
1. Finish test knit.
2. Seam the blanket squares together in strips of 8.
3. Keep not buying yarn.
4. Maybe do some spinning.
May felt more productive, and I suspect that some of it is due to the medication I've started. I finished the test knit before the due date and it's beautiful!
I did buy yarn, but it was a special one. I was at Mary Maxim on Victoria Day (I know, what do I expect going to a yarn store?) and I saw a discontinued colourway in Lion Brand Mandala - Hudson's Bay! I figured this was an acceptable exception to my cold sheeping.
The blanket is done! It's currently drying out from its bath and I'll do a final steam block on it, then off to its recipient!
June goals:
1. Work on the Cable Car Coat a few nights this month.
2. No more yarn!
3. Start something new (I've got something in mind).
4. Survive June.
