The Week in Short

First this Yep, snow in May. Which lead to resurrecting these: Don't get me wrong, I love my Peerie Flooers mittens and Frye boots, but after wearing them all winter I just want to put them away by May. And then came the finale: The biggest, and strangest group of "Warren Worshipers", the Berkshire Hathaway Shareholders meeting. Good riddance week.

A Slow Go...

...but worth it. I'm only about 1/2 way through the completion of my Yellow Wall Cardigan, it's taking me forever. Linen is difficult to knit with, It's not "grippy" like wool, instead it's springy and unwieldy. I've made a few subtle changes for the arm holes, and the width, but nothing major. I think I'll add an extra couple of buttonholes as well.

Quickie Gloves for Dad.....

.... Are done! It kinda made up my own pattern. These are a mish-mash of various things. I love the corrugated ribbing used in the Peerie Floores mittens, so that was incorporated into the pattern, and the rest was just by the seat of my pants. I used Quince & Co yarn, which was such a treat, and a welcome break from my linen project.

The Drive

Monday's drive home from Kansas started out great. I spotted 4 bald eagles and 1 live coyote! I had only ever seen coyotes squished by the roadside. I know farmers probably find them to be a nuisances, but I think they are misunderstood creatures. Anyway, the drive ended on a nerve wracking note about 15 miles from home. I ended up driving on what appeared to be miles and miles of unplowed snow, left by the March blizzard. I passed about 35+ cars in the ditches alongside i29. Many of which were on their roofs!

Progress on the Yellow Wall Cardigan is slow going, but I think I'm going to love the cardigan.

First Outing...

I may not have too many more opportunities to wear this, although they are forecasting some snow on Sunday. Gag! Enough of winter already! Anyway, I loved this sweater before I took it off the needles, I love it even more on! I think I might even make another!

Linen Cardigan and My Valentine's Present

I started the Yellow Wall Cardigan the other day. I was drawn to the easy, wearable style of it, so I thought linen yarn would be the perfect pairing for this pattern. I've knitted with linen before, but I forgot how difficult it can be. It's a springy fiber that doesn't have much *grip*? Anyway, it's tricky to work with and is definitely making this a very slow project. However, I do love the silvery color of this Habu linen.

Oh, and in the background is my Valentine's gift! A new subscription to Rowan! There are a few cute patterns, but my favorite thing about Rowan is the way they photograph and put together their publications. I enjoy the articles and variety of pattern styles. There is something for everyone in Rowan.....

My Little Fleur is Done!

I tried it in before I blocked it,it's another perfect fit! Pics to follow when it's dry. I love the colors in this sweater much more than the original sweater. I still have quite a bit of yarn leftover-dare I make another sweater with a different design? Thinking 'bout it.
