Finally

So it's a little late, this snowstorm, as I was already starting to look forward to my tulips. But I'll still gladly take a good snowstorm, even in March.

On Thursday, Little Man decided that he and Knittybaby needed to sit back and watch the storm start up.


After two days of snow, this is what we awoke to this morning:


My ever faithful mailman showed up Thursday night around seven (he's usually here by three, poor guy) with this lovely prize from Javajem. I won her contest!!!

I can't say enough how thrilled I am with this package. Beautiful yarn, hand dyed by Jody herself. I love the colors! And inside that adorable little bag (oh how I love little bags!)...

Her own hand made stitch markers and earings, and two cute little sheepy erasers. I love these so much! I've been wanting set of beaded markers, and this little kitty ones are so cute. I've been needing new earings and these are so lovely. Thank you so much Jody!!!

Finished:


Yarn: Lorna's Laces Sport
Color: Vera
Needles: size 3
Pattern: Nothing fancy. Cast on 56, garter stitch rib cuff. Heel flap.
Verdict: soft and warm!

Where did these come from?

Oh my gosh, it's a nearly completed pair of socks!


A better view of the colorway:

I was up to the heel on sock one Tuesday night. The Skeptic's aunt passed away so we drove back to Wisconsin for the funeral. Since the boys were too little to go I just stayed with them at home all day and hunkered down, out of the cold. It's amazing what knitting you get done with two happy boys and a house you don't have to worry about cleaning. Although it was sad occasion and his aunt will be greatly missed, it was nice to see family again.

Isn't this the perfect Project Spectrum colorway? The Yarn is from Little Turtle Knits, the soaker pattern a freebie at Curlypurly.


Look what arrived while I was gone. Cynthia was giving a huge hunk of her stash away. Yup, giving. All she asked in return was a few squares for Warming Grace. Cynthia is such a gererous soul! She sent me a Fleece Artist scarf kit, which I was expecting, and then surprised me with some lovely hand dyed yarn and a project bag. The squares will be out pronto. Thank you Cynthia!!
