June is heating up (off and on) and I've just got to get to the beach this weekend and wear my blue tunic as a cover-up! I really want to go to Cabo, but I won't hold my breath!
I have kicked off two new projects:
1)* "Bud" from a Rowan mini-book - that my knitting bud Cheryl is also making. Hers is purple and pink and mine is blue and white because I loved the example so much. We also subbed the "Cotton Fleece" yarn for the suggested Rowan Bamboo Soft to make it more wallet friendly, although the bamboo yarn is lovely I was looking for something I wouldn't feel guilty about spending for a whole new project when I have a ton of stash yarn.
Ta Dah!
*Since i posted that comment I've been having some pattern reading+ gauge issues. I like actually knitting the garment, but these technical dificulties have put a kink in things and really slowed me down. LOL, anyone noticing a pattern in my battles with gauge? =) Cheryl also had some size issues and had to rip, so at least I'm not the only onen with these struggles.
2) "Mystery project" which is actually a gift for a friend - I'm officially 2/3 finished with the knitting portion as of Sunday night & hope to finish the rest by this weekend. OK, I'm 99.9999% sure it won't spoil anything for the giftee & I'm not good with waiting to reveal surprises...
I love it and I think its beautiful - its inspired me to make this fantastic blanket with cables from an older Interweave magazine when I'm done with this. Its been in the back of my mind for at least a year now - I'll probably finish it just in time for winter this year!

I like the blue and white you picked for "Bud"...I hope you figure out the gauge issues.
April - yours is turning out great and the baby blanket is beautiful. Great job!
