Typical

As usual I start something and don't carry through very well.  It has been a while since I have been blogging.  Today am feeling restless and discontented.  My beans froze Monday night so need to start by planting them again inside.  Maybe I just need to knit and create something. 

Going to Mom's for Easter.  Should be a good time, quiet.  Will go see my uncle who has Stage IV lung cancer and see if my cousins will visit for a bit.

Have almost completed my aunt's knitted socks.  Have maybe a couple of hours left so probably should complete them.  I am better at starting than completing as are most people.

Yarn Along

As a way to motivate myself to read and knit more I am going to start joining Ginny Sheller every Wednesday for knitting and reading.  My goal is to finish a book every 2 weeks but also try to complete at least one project a week.  As most knitters, quilters, crocheters, etc have many UFO's so do I.  What is crazy is many of them have less than 2 hours of work to complete the project.  What's up with that?

This week I am reading A Year on Ladybug Farm.  Bought it for $.50 at Goodwill.  For knitting I am making the ever popular ZickZack Scarf by Christy Kamm.  It is a fun knit, taking a bit longer than I expected but still fun and easy to do.  I am using Lang Mille Colori Baby yarn in colorway 06 and 16.  I almost wish I would have a little more contrast but it is working out for the most part how I wanted.

This next Christmas hopefully will be having a fully homemade Christmas.  The idea sounds probably better than the reality but hopefully if I get some things going now it an be reality.
