Progress is being made on the February Lady Sweater and I am loving it. The lace setup rows gave me a hard time as usual. The first three repeats of any lace pattern drives me nuts but this was worse because I had to rip back over 300 stitches three times. Funny when I need to concentrate I have to work on the bus in the mornings I can't fully focus at home or work too many distractions. But on the rush hour bus listening to a podcast I can focus fully.

Moving plans continue. I have been taking things to the thrift shop, recycling and trashing junk like crazy but I still can't muster any excitement for the damn move. It just makes me angry and I don't want to do it but I will. Enough of this let's talk about knitting. The first two photos are of the lady in progress. The third is the tote I sewed myself that she travels in. Nothing is too good for my lady!

Bolsa De Perro Bag

I almost forgot about this one! Another awesome project from Andean Folk Knits by Marcia Lewandowski. I am obsessed with this book I love it so much! I also finally finished up the last of the Cascade 220 I bought at Rosies last year. I made the big Ivy, the Anatolian mittens, the Lapland mittens and finally this bag with the nine skeins I bought. What a great value.

Work continues on the February Lady and my Earth Day Swap presents. Everything else is the same and that is not a bad thing.

Snow Day!

Today we got dumped with about a foot of snow. The schools were closed and I have no snow boots so I got to take a snow day. I took some snaps this morning when I was walking J.R. I also got some awesome snaps of the birds at the feeder. I got my blue jay. N8 left to go sledding and the boss is out shoveling so I am home alone today chilling. I finished my dog purse and started on my Februrary Lady Sweater. Oh I love it!

Oh look it is the boss wearing his Marsan Watch Cap!

J.R. in the snow!

Chubby birdy!

Holy shit is that my blue jay?
