Hello on this Spaghetti alla Puttanesca Monday! Long story short - I volunteered for a test knit but was not selected.  I had already bought a lovely comparable yarn.  So I'll be joining the KAL instead!!   The pattern is Holly Blue .  Here is the yarn I found: The color is a warmer pink in person than in this photo.  It's got a lovely hand and I'll probably do a gauge swatch just to see what it wants to do.  I'm thinking about 3/4 length sleeves and some charming buttons.  The KAL starts in May so stay tuned! In other news - the recent summer weather is transitioning back to spring.  I can't say I'm disappointed - it was way too hot way too early for me! Stay safe and well :)

Hello on this Jerk Pork Burger Friday! Our super warm, lovely weather continues!  Although we're due for much cooler weather early next week (with rain, and possibly some flurries in the air??) it's nice to start to put the winter gear away and relocate the Crocs to their ready position near the front door! After much puzzling yesterday I managed to figure out what my mystery project is.  I even vetoed it as a possibility several times.  In the end, I compared the pattern page and confirmed that it is Converging Lines Cowl by Purl Soho (although Neuro probably remembered - because she remembers everything - and I should have just asked her, LOL).  I'm using some drapey merino/nylon/sparkle yarn so it won't look as structured but I think it will still be very nice.  Here is a pic: It's actually not quite so brightly grapey in person. In other news - I forgot to mention that the turkeys did their annual walk-through on Sunday morning!  I happened to look out...

Hello on this Freezer Bingo Wednesday!! Our weather continues to be unpredictable, varied, and unseasonable - but as a result we've had a series of warm, sunny days that allow us to open the windows during the day, see the daffodils springing up everywhere, and today there are buds on the tree just outside of my window! Coincidentally, I just finished this little blankie I'd started a million years ago with this unusually nice acrylic (think baby blanket maybe?): It's a little hard to see from here but the middle is double knit and the edges are garter stitch.  It's lovely and squishy! Off the needles and with their recipient are some socks that I knit with this yarn ; no pics because it went from secret to gift in just a few hours and of course I forgot to take a pic...  Pattern is from one of LW's knitting books! Also off the needles and awaiting finishing is the vest I'm making for Oogyhubby.  I had him try it on last night and I have to say the fit is perfec...
