I have to admit it
I don't think we'll see Winter again. In Texas--Spring is here. The trees are budding and every day we've been in the upper 70s. It's so weird to be able to wear shorts and sundresses, when other parts of the country still have snow.
The trees are budding. And a little voice in my head is telling me it's time to clean out the garage (MOTHER, get out of my head!) It's the plan for this weekend anyway. We need the rain, it might rain--but I am not optimistic.
With all this nice weather I have been forcing the kids outside. Not only does it force them to get dressed, but it gets them out of my hair. One of Micci's favourite things is to make wishes on dandelions. So cute. HE is totally sure they'll come true. Right? It's his phrase of the day...everything ends in "right?" BIG emphasis on the question mark.

I've also been busy knitting. I really wish I knew how to knit faster. There are SO many things I want to knit up. I have three lace shawls I want to cast on. Never mind the three sweaters I want to start designing as well. SIGH. So despite having 3 gifts I still need to finish and that are quite overdue. I started my first S.P.E.W. hat. I plan to finish it off with a I-cord knot on top. Of course, it gave me great ideas for the next two. I am going to use the same stitch pattern, peppercorn stitch), but knit ruffles instead of the rolled brim--it'll be a white hat. The third will be a beehive hat--not sure though should I knit it in yellow,or should I go funky and knit in a weird color? I am going to have lots of fun with this.
Of course I am still working on my sock. I got over the stupid evil heel. At least one side of the heel looks awesome...yeah like I am showing y'all the ugly side.
Despite the heel difficulties I am very proud of my sock. And now that I am on the leg--it's all smooth sailing from here out. Although I am fighting myself--I want to add a pattern, but I don't. I am also talking myself out of beads at the cuff...it depends on how tight the sock is at the cuff. I am really pleased the variegation isn't pooling. It's looks fantastic for hand dyed yarn.
I am being tempted to knit wee socks to go with my wee hats....please help me talk myself out of this...
