Just When You Thought Spring Was Here...

Yup, it's snowing here today.  It's mostly behaving like rain, except it's starting to stick a little here and there (right now the flakes are so huge they look like they could take somebody's eye out!!).  All of the spring plants that were sending up their shoots will need to get out their mitts and slippers for the next couple of days!

Continued Pandemic Hats Off to Weggies!  I ventured out to do our weekly shopping earlier today, and they continue to have everything under control.  I only had to improvise on a couple of things (canned lentils vs. the dried ones - there wasn't a dried bean to spare!!  I don't think those had been on the rationing list, LOL).  

A new Pandemic Hats Off to Black Button Distilling, who began producing ethanol-based hand sanitizer a few days ago.  They were one of the first of our area's distillers, so have been a leader since their inception.  What a great way to help the community!!

I thought I'd mention the MCP again today; I haven't made much progress since the last pic, but I have applied an unusual amount of prophylactic stitch markers (I think there are 6 or 7 in total):


I hope you are all doing well; we're still good here!

hmmm...is that a provisional cast-on I see? And why would one need so many stitch markers?

Colorful Booties and Socks

Image
It is the Year of Colorwork, but mostly what I've done so far is produce a few color ful items!  I've been making this baby bootie pattern for years, mostly from leftover sock yarns.  This particular yarn is what remained from last fall's Flamewalker Socks .  That these booties stand up all by their jaunty selves makes them particularly appealing. These are  Crazy For You socks.  They haven't told me yet exactly whom they are crazy for , but I'll let them ponder that for a while.  It appears I may have caught a bit of Knitting New England's Tangerine Tango  with all of these orangey colors!

Wingspan, Part I

Image
I have two skeins of Classic Elite Alpaca Sox yarn that absolutely refuse to become socks. They pool, they gap, they otherwise cry and carry on in all sorts of ways. So, they are becoming Wingspans instead. I finished the first one last night, and cast on the second one this morning. They are, indeed, a pleasurable and addictive knit!

I've been busy, but I don't have much to show for it - yet. You will be seeing a lot of finished lace in the coming days, so stay tuned! In the meantime, here are two pillows that I dyed and knit for friends who are getting married next week.
