Signs of spring

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

It is amazing the difference in a few short weeks. This tree was just barely budding a couple of weeks ago, now look at it! Next time I take a look it will probably have leaves and everything.

54/365 Signs of spring

Speaking of spring green, after my failed attempt at the Skew sock, I am back to working on my Ginny sweater. Since the Olympics is all about the challenge for me and there is a very real possibility that I may not get all of the pieces done and put together by the time that the Olympic Flame is extinguished, I am attempting to knit both sleeves at the same time, in the round so that I have a few less seams to stitch together in the end.

I hope that I can keep everything straight and not totally mess this up!

Love mommy, my mommy

When I get home every evening, I am often pinned down by this critter:

Despite that particular critter’s dubious help, I manage to get a bit done. Tonight I finished the knitting on the Brandywine Shawl. I increased the repeats on chart B by two and still have a little bit of yarn left. It is difficult to determine if I have enough left to have added one more repeat. I think it might have been possible, but it would have been close.

Spring Green

Progress has been made on several fronts today. A dear friend of mine from long ago college days came over to help with Operation Declutter. I picked her up from the ferry this morning, we stopped for coffee, some lunch supplies and various container type things, then dove into the fray. By the end of the day , not only had we sent quite a bit off to donation land, but we had washed two sets of curtains, washed the corresponding windows and mapped out a game plan for some of the rest of it.

I was quite happy to get some knitting time at the end of the day. Watching my girls sit down and play some games together made me happy too.

I did find myself very envious of this guy who seemed to be able to sleep through all the commotion.

Nothing like a little bit of help when trying to knit:
