Check it out! There’s buds on them thar bushes!
I know that this sight makes my Mom very happy (read: gardening!), and it makes me glad as well. I do enjoy winter, but I also love when the weather gets warmer and the days get longer. I guess I shouldn’t rub it in, since there are those of you still buried in snow, but it’s been in the high 60s these past few days, and it’s wonderful. There’s trees budding out everywhere you look, which means that some people are coughing and sniffling like you would never believe.
And I know this might seem somewhat counter-intuitive, but the arrival of Spring makes me want to knit like a crazy man. See the sock in the bush there? It’s a highly modified Jaywalker design I’m trying out. This version is sport weight yarn (more Yarn Nerd yarn, yay!), and I’m knitting it toe up and am planning to do a short row heel. We’ll see how it comes out, I’ll keep you posted!
Well, I think I’m gonna go rent a movie, grab some dinner and sit down with the sock. Not to mention two dogs. Have a good weekend everyone!
What’s knitting?
Your post makes me want to cry! We’ve had 60 degree weather for three days in a row here in Boston, and tonight, guess what? A blizzard. Half a foot of snow has fallen so far, and yesterday, I was walking around in a skirt and blouse. NOT COOL.
Yeah, it was 80 degrees here on Tuesday, and today it was 40. The weather might be crazy, but at least I’ve got my knitting to keep me sane.
The flower buds are lovely, and the sock looks great- I love seeing how hand-dyed yarns knit up!
First : beautifull picture.Just telling you I am planing to make a par of toe-up socks whit shortrowheel - and making socks whit my hands is very new for me.Its hard work and a lot of reading on the internet. Gitte from Denmark
Yeah, buried in snow. No good. Glad I am coming back to ABQ in April, even if it is just for a week.
We don’t have any snow left. :) And it’s actually 40F right now!
Oooooh! At first quick glance, I thought your sock was a butterfly! g
Oooh, lovely picture.
Don’t worry, even Michigan isn’t covered in snow anymore. Cold rain, miserable to be out in, but supposed to hit 60 degrees later this week. Spring has sprung. I already need to weed my herb garden.
the wind is blowing cold gusts here…and I’m longing for spring!
Thank you for the peek of the new season!
I made some toe-up Jaywalkers with the short row heel and just keep fitting the sock as you are doing that heel.
That is a beautiful colorway, but I just can’t believe that there are flowers like that somewhere in the world today.
love the picture, the yarn & flowers are very pretty. Knitting knows (k)no season, enjoy! :-)
