Ah, Spring!

scroll down for knitting and crocheting content as there actually is some

Greetings! Welcome to spring in West Michigan. There's lots of mud for the dogs to run in.
The lillies are coming up in our backyard and the fence has been put up til said yard dries out, much to Max's dismay.

Otherwise, Sam will run across the soft lawn kickin up clods like a horse and all The Saint's hard work putting down the sod a couple of years ago will be for naught...can't have that. Just a small area with snow left, in the shade by the garage. If we're lucky, there will be no more this year. ...Max surveys her kingdom from the deck. The pets have access to the driveway and a small patch of yard for their "business doing" but the majority of yard is off limits for at least the next few weeks. We'll be taking walks again. They'll be so excited I won't be able to get them in their leashes for at least 10 minutes, why don't they realize we can be on our way faster if they'll just be still for a second?

I have this...








and I'm gonna cast-on this...Ribbed Lace
from this book...









I have 50% of the body done for my first, and not last, one of these...

and the second Killer Biller sock is about 40% complete.

I've also been dabbling in a bit of crochet...

using the remnants of my EZ ASJ.

And I've been swatching









for this...
I find my thoughts in a swirl. It's difficult to concentrate, I have way too many things going and on Thursday I actually bought a book! When do I think I'll have time to read, you ask. I don't have a clue. Even a few quilty thoughts have crossed my mind lately too. Must-resist-the-quilty-thoughts. There is no room for any more stuff to be out in my office/sewing room. I'll stick with the knitting for now. It takes up less surface space.

I'll leave you with this last item I started Thursday evening and completed yesterday for a baby shower gift (twin girls)...


I was hoping to be able to stylishly pose these little gems but since I was sewing the buttons on them at 11am and the shower invitation said that the festivities were to start at 11am I figured I'd better snap a couple of quick shots and be on my way. I'll make another pair and pose them artistically at a later date, lol.

Everybody have a great week. Hope you have sunshine where you are too.
