Spring Break!

Now I am busily packing to go on Spring Break - to the BEACH!!! Funny, I never got to go to the beach for Spring Break when I was in college. Go figure. Anyway, I am now packing the most important bag - my knitting. I plan to take one baby sweater, 3 scarves and one purse. Can I finish all these in one week? Sure I can. Hope springs eternal! Besides, you never know what I might want to knit at any given moment. I have also checked out, through a wonderful book called - Knitters', Needlepointers', Crocheters', Weavers' & Spinners' Travel Guide 2007-2008, what yarn shops are in the area. Now, I can make sure I don't miss a shop anywhere in the USA! How great is that. Hmmmmm, that means I need room for more yarn to come home with me. Maybe my husband has room in his suitcase???

Twisted knitting finally makes sense

TA DA! I have finished the baby sweater. Actually, truth be told, I finished the knitting and basic assembly several days ago but I still have to weave in ends. But, I have to finish it soon, it has to be sent to a baby shower by the 16th. Weaving in ends is why I don't do more color knitting. I do like the results so I guess there is nothing to be done but weave-and-bear-it.

I also have to share with you my darling Rumpus enjoying his first snow. Yes, here in Texas, strangely enough, we have had snow on March 4th. We may get about one snow fall a year here but usually in January not March! It was in the 70's the day before and will be in the 50's today but, for a brief moment we have snow! Rumpus found it thrilling. He spent the morning chasing falling snow as it melted. Crazy puppy!
