forcing bulbs
snuggling (this profile kills me)
knitting socks
knitting a shawl
and yes, knitting a sweater too.
How come so may things we knit begin with the letter "s" ?
We had planned to build my garden beds this wekend but I’m afraid it’s going to be cold and wet. damn. Looks like I may make a dent in any of these 3 projects and the baby sized duvet cover I need to finish for a baby shower next weekend.
I’ve been working from home this afternoon and have seriously got alot done. I know it’s really wintery where you live, but it’s been unusually cold and wet here in Central Texas this January.
The progress of Twist . . . almost finished with the back. Somehow I added an extra twist in one of the repeats, but at least I did it on both sides. I’ve been very good about fixing any errors so probably just misjudged which row I was on after I’d ripped back. This mistake is now cleverly disguised a feature.
Dont you just love this colorway? These socks are yet to be restarted.
The yarn? Plucky Knitter Merino Wool Handpainted Superwash Yarn Fingering Weight, Colorway Reece
The real reason I bother to make a meatloaf…. leftovers! cold meatloaf sandwich on crusty sourdough with Miracle Whip (yep, that’s right), ketchup and salt and pepper. Mmmmm.
What now…
I mean really… do you know any better way to eat Nutella than with a spoon?
A cup of peppermint tea in my grandmother’s china
What better way to warm some chilly digits than casting on for this with
Henry’s Attic Prime Alpaca (Silver Grey)?
Okay, this must be the single most depressing birthday wish I ever received via email. Well, happy birthday to me anyway. I feel the need to clarify here . . . I am not a bad driver, this was from the FIRST and ONLY speeding ticket I’ve ever received . . . a little over a year ago.
After moving to Texas (1/1/1996) I longed for the snowy Winters I had always known… for years really. But now I gotta tell you, once Christmas is over and most certainly after my birthday, I am ready for Spring. Here in Central Texas we start planting around Valentine’s Day. . . I’m serious. I’m not trying to make you jealous, really. That said, I may want to undecorate the Christmas tree tomorrow so I can make the recycling deadline. I can’t wait to start building my raised bed… I did get a head start on the composting a few months ago.
Twist (pictured above), what can I say. . . I may not be too far along but I am really enjoying it. It’s been a tough deadline week so I was smart enough to not pick this up at night with my tired eyes and screw it up. I’ll sit with it some over the weekend as we will have NO ELECTRICITY for at least tomorrow. May be a good opportunity to see Juno too.
Well, I must wash my face and head off to work. Wish me a short day at the office, please.
4 short years ago Roscoe was my birthday present….here’s how he looked then at 6 weeks.
