Spring and fickle weather

Wow!  Last week they predicted a 5-10" snowstorm.  And we got maybe 2"!  What a downer.  Last night they were guessing 1-3" at the most.  And we got it!  I was so unprepared.  Of course I've got projects to finish.  Who doesn't?  You don't?  That's discipline. I have always had at least 3 projects at one time.

The most important factor was there were no snacks, no chocolate in the house!  You can't have a snowstorm without preparation.  Forget the milk and bread.. gotta have the goodies.  So my dear, sweet other half drove 1 mile to DQ for me!  Like I needed it but it sure tasted good and we curled up and watched Bones!  Then to work I went.

Almost have Sadie's Easter sweater done.  But the St Paddy's Day scarf hasn't been finished yet. Hands are better but it's slow.  Off to the doctor I go....

The Autumn Walking Scarf class met in the afternoon but the evening class was postponed due to weather.  They'll catch up!  So here's a glimpse.

casting on 446 stitches!

 

Now to begin Fair Isle knitting with 2 colors.



 

Can't wait to see the progress in 2 weeks.  So of course I had to pick out colors to make one too!  It's addictive I tell ya.

 

Last Saturday Margaret stopped in for yarn and she was modeling her Inspira Cowl.  It's beautiful

 

Now to keep knitting and choosing more enticing projects.  Spring and summer yarns are arriving like riveting Sport and Worsted.  It's made from recycled blue jeans!

 

 

Have you seen Sunseeker from Cascade?  It's a sport weight cotton/acrylic blend with a little sparkle!  Or Mimi from Lotus Yarns?  It's a lace weight mink yarn.  Yep, mink and the animals are not harmed!  Stop in and check them out.
