It’s hard to have a bad day when I start my day off with my “Happy Good Morning” cup. I have NOT finished my lace stole, but am soooo close. I am so excited and ready for Spring. I have resisted the urge to plant too much since I’m not quite sure what’s already planted. We moved in before Thanksgiving so my whole yard will be full of surprises… the previous owners were pretty good gardeners. I will, however, toss out some cosmo seeds next to the pines. DH helped me build some window boxes yesterday…can’t wait to put them up and fill them.
Secret Garden
I have no idea what I planted. After moving into our new home in November I hastily tossed out some wildflower seeds, but can’t for the life of me rememember what I planted (or how to spell remember). My peach trees have begun to blossom and these mystery seedlings are sprouting up where I sprinkled them.
I’ve been working on my lace stole, but have been distracted by a couple washcloths and “Lopi Lace Scarf” from Weekend Knitting. I’m knitting it with Cascade Pastaza…50% Llama / 50% Wool. I’m considering getting some chickens, but I’m afraid of birds. I am seriously considering a worm composter since my dog Callie will most likely view a traditional compost heap as a buffet.
Easy? Yes. Quick? My Ass!
This may not be the most challenging of patterns, but is taking me FOREVER to finish. This Lacy Stole is knit with Louet’s EuroFlax linen in a rich charcoal color. It’s lovely but thin, which is why it’s taken me forever to finish. I have only one skein to go….enlisted the help of DH last night to wind the ball and I’m gonna finish this thing. I realize that because I cast on long before the Olympic Torch was lit that this project may not qualify for the Knitting Olpimpics, but it’s kinda become my own Cross Country Ski event. So in the spirit of the Yarn Harlot’s Knitting Olympics I will commit to finishing this before the last damn “hamill camel”.
