Six more weeks of winter.

It hasn’t been cold around here, in fact the spring flowers are coming up and the cherry trees are blooming. But I could really do with some daylight. You know, the sort that involves a large bright disc in the sky that provides warmth. It’s been pretty grey lately.

They’re not a spring flower, but the mild winter made for really pretty and abundant helle blooms this year.

The next pair of socks is done:

Sottopassagio by Yarnissima. Cool design as the instep increases occur along the side of the cable. That cable then disappears into the one running up from the heel:

The next socks are already cast on.

I think I’ve finally got a design in mind for the handspun from last month. The swatches just weren’t doing what I’d hoped, but I think it’s a go now. It has to be ’cause a sleepless night last week produced 3 more designs that need to be swatched and written up.

The neighbours selling their house are doing a bang up job. Today they have a moldering christmas tree on their front lawn that appears to have been casually pitched out the front door. I’m sure buyers will be flooding them with offers!

I finally managed to get a pic of Looshie that wasn’t just blurry teeth. Apparently, once he’s finished chewing on the camera, he will strike pose after pose.

And yes, he always looks that menacing.
