My Bay Area readers will totally understand my confusion about why it is so darn cold even though it's now already June. I guess we didn't really get any warm springtime and just dove headfirst into June Gloom.
The upside of the May/June gloom we've had? It's perfect knitting weather. I've been up to quite a bit since my last post when I was sick back in April, so I figured it's time for a quick update on my new stash, my new experiments and my new ride...
I've found some really lovely yarns from local knit shops lately. First, a baby alpaca and bamboo blend which knits up with a nice drape and is ridiculously soft to work with...

| May have gone overboard... |
 |
| Ahhh, coffee and knitting. What's not to love? |
|
|
Next, I discovered some rabbit fur yarn, which I'm making into an infinity scarf. This is a fun personal project I'm planning to hold onto...
 |
| Splurge! | |
 |
| Current progress... |
If I haven't been knitting, I've been trying to focus on learning and experimenting with some cooking and even light gardening...
 |
| Making mashed potatoes from scratch with my new hand mixer. |
 |
| Why buy herbs when you can grow them yourself? |
And, lastly, if I'm outside, I'm hopefully on my new bicycle, getting some fresh air and exercise!
 |
| Super cute! Love riding around :) |
So there you have some updates of what I've been up to and working on lately. I'll try to get some photos of the finished rabbit scarf when I can :)
Happy knitting!
