Happy Thai New Year !

Another reason to celebrate for April - It's a Thai New Year! It is also known as "Songkran". It's a big celebration of water which is one of the most important sources of livings and agriculture in Thailand. The Thais usually go to Temples to make merits by offering monks foods and goods or asking for their blessing. It's a big holiday in Thailand. People are out in the street for celebration. Water splashing and dancing all over the country.

April is almost over but I’ve heard several areas in the northern part of the U.S. are still being hit with snow storms! I hope everyone is getting through okay. We’re quite lucky here in Maryland where the weather has been very mild making us enjoy all these beautiful blooms. I’ve been walking with my dog and taking pictures of flowers every morning while my kids has gone to school. It’s getting to be quite an addictive hobby.

Patterns of The Month:

This month feature pattern is Scallop Vest For Girls. It is designed to match with a Scallop-edge skirt which I finished last month. I used Simply Soft yarn by Caron (again) for both of scallop pattern projects. I promise my next project I will use a different type of yarn! So stop by and take a look at these patterns or just to say hello.

Another quick project I made this month was The Forth Of July Hat. I knitted two of them for each girl- one in blue and one in red. I added little white crochet flowers to the hat just to make it looks more interesting.
