"Hmm... less fries and more crunchers"

Snowman #2
only slightly taller than Bumpkins.
(making snowmen is hard work!)The yard Wednesday morning.

Bumpkin's out enjoying the snow....

Everyone went outside......

It is warmer in here!

So the snow is still lingering around.. especially with temps that are staying around 10 degrees F at night and 37 F in the day. Today is sunny- much like Wednesday.

Knitting: Finished the back of Bumpkin's cardigan (no pix), made a baby bootie (no pix) and have only 2 more inches left on DH's scarf!

Today is being spent on outings... This morning Mugz: for hot chocolate, cookies, tea and scones (knitting time w/a friend). Library: faster upload, books and DVD's. Swimming Pool: swimming and slide (playing with new friends... kids that I taught lessons to). Nana's: Lunch! and then grocery shopping. Finally Home for the rest of the day/evening. And maybe a chance to play outside in the snow- AGAIN!

Right now uploading at the library- but Bumpkins attention span is gone . So gotta' run.

Spring!

DM's yard on Monday March 17.
She has a lot more snow than I do!

knitting: am way to tired. Actually did cast on for a gauge swatch for Bumpkin's cardigan. The swatch ended up being 4.5 inches w/ US 7 needles instead of 4 inches so I will redo w/US 6 needles.

Today is the First day of Spring and what kind of weather do we have? Well the temps maybe went to 32 F. It looked like snow, smelled like snow and felt like snow. And finally when I drove home there was snowflakes falling. Which now has tapered off and the wind is really blowing.

Princess wants to change her guess is there anyone else who wants to bump up their guess? Speak up now. Otherwise all guesses are locked in and we wait to see who is right.
Hmm... and now to think up the prize. Should be a snowman or something springy? I am thinking Spring- so off to look at some Spring time patterns and colors.

On another note: I am glad that Spring break is almost over (I come home from work totally exhausted!)

Works in progress Wednesday

DH hooked the other laptop up to a monitor- so now we have pictures again. (I am so spoiled- the other laptop is upstairs in the music room and I am used to blogging in bed at the other end of the house).
So for Jopal and Lynn some snow. Taken this morning (if you look closely you might even see the snow falling). Winter is now here.



And this is a work in progress for DH for Christmas. I still need to outline stitch almost everything. Somehow it is already full of mistakes. First the quilt square isn't big enough- I cut it out an 1 1/2 inches to narrow. And then didn't reverse the templates. Oh well- the best thing about a quilt is almost anything goes!







And finally DM's socks- frogged for the 3rd time this am. I lost track of where I was in a K3 p1 sequence. I really like the way the colors go together. It is DM's colors. Has anyone else noticed that sockotta is kind of splitty?


Not pictured but cast on for a scarf for my secret sister at church. (I needed some bible study knitting). Also have cast on for another drawstring bag.
