Four hats finished

This is my favorite hat pattern right now. "Brandon Hat" from MinKnit.
The yarn is worsted weight from donations I received.

Scattered Mama Hat Pattern

by  Rebecca Krolikowski also made for charity from donated yarn.













This pattern is called "Imogene" designed by Catherine Lindsay.
 
I made it for Barb for the 2010 March Hat exchange from the yahoo group "At My House".

A walk on Torrey Pines State Beach

Today is my sisters birthday and we met at Tony's Jacal in Solana Beach. After lunch we drove to Torrey Pines State Beach. A lovely day for a walk on the beach.

Cryptic Message Dish Cloth - the answer

Cryptic Message Dish Cloth from Rachel's Knitting Room

I could not figure it out and neither could the rest of the folks around here.

The designer of the cloth is Marilyn, she has designed great "name" patterns.

Wear what you make!

A walk on the Beach and lunch at Las Olas

A beautiful day at the beach and a great lunch at Las Olas. The lunch special: One taco, one cheese enchilada and two sides (cabbage salad, rice, beans) for 5 bucks! Margarita's are $3.50.


It is supposed to rain tomorrow so we took advantage of the beautiful weather and went for a walk at Cardiff by the Sea.
