No more socks!

Sounds like a good idea...or maybe it's an April Fool's joke...all I know is that right now, the last thing I want to knit in the evening are socks!

My bucket still looks pretty full.  Looking back it seems the only things knitted this past month from the bucket/s were socks!  Time to change that.  Look at that pretty orange...time to infuse some "spring" into my knitting even if it doesn't seem very spring-like outside. The robins are returning and their chirping cries out "What the heck am I doing back here!?!  It's cold!"

Hopeful. 

We think our knitting will make the difference.  A new spring vest would be just the thing to wear on a nice spring day.  It seems time to pack away my dark winter vest. (Or at least once it's no longer needed for sizing comparisons!) Maybe, once the pink vest is finished, spring will truly arrive. How's that for the power of positive thinking?

But, Fairy Godmother is finishing a sweater that she'd hoped she could wear yet before it got too warm...maybe her knitting "magic" is stronger than ours. Let's hope not! Then again, MN (where she lives) just had a snow storm. Time to get moving on the spring vest!

After knitting six pairs of socks last month, it's time for a break!  Though not entirely; the needles and sock yarn are banished (for the moment) to "taxi knitting"!  (Generally 10-15 minutes each school day.)  Besides the spring vest, there's a lot of fun stuff in the bucket...like the orange for the Mystic Light KAL...or the orange for the market bag...but maybe a cardi would be nice for cool spring evenings (need to stash enhance for that)...or maybe...

Just, please, no more socks...at least for the moment. (Or is that an April Fool's?)

The sweater was cast off at 5 PM CDT so there should be no more snow this spring in the midwest. My goal was to finish it before the snow melted, I don't need to wear it if it means that spring will finally arrive!

I so need to cast on a pair of socks.
I put the new hank of yarn in the project bag.
Now all I need to do is wind it.

And dream of piping hot, tender, sweet beignets...Thanks for the post card!

Yeah! Spring knitting! That orange is gorgeous. I think the cherry blossoms here have gone to my head, because all I want to use right now are bright yummy colors.
