Spring in my head

I spent a very good part of yesterday knitting on my white and cream Lusk Tee but I put it down to preserve my hands.  I still had a huge desire to knit so I went to socks.  

And magic proceeded to happen.

We have a complete pair of socks!

Whoop whoop whoop.  I am so thrilled to have these done.  It's just wonderful to have a pair complete so early in the year.  

My plan today is to dig through the WIPs bin for all the socks on the go to see which ones to work on next. And there is good time to work on the white and cream tee too.  

It's sunny out so no matter what the temperature is the snow will melt and sink.  The water will soak in and do a lot to recharge the very dry soil.  Today feels like spring to me no matter what the weather says.  It's spring in my heart and that is what counts.

A great weekend

Now that was a good weekend.  Every day I feel more like myself and all that remains is a bit of a cough.  And I had plenty of energy to knit.  

So I did.  

I worked monogamously on my Kauni sweater.  I am so pleased with how it's going. I love the earthy greyed down tones of this colourway.  I originally bought it for a colourwork sweater with some large Scandinavian Stars.  It was beautiful but my urge to knit it is gone as it sometimes goes.  This is a really great replacement for the colourwork.  It show the yarn off wonderfully.  It also shows off my beloved Tove yarn too.  It's a great combination.

I am going back to my cream and white tee today.  It looks like that kind of weather out there.  It's sunny and blindingly bright on the snow from last week.  The sun is strong enough now that it should be a good melting day no matter what the temperature is.  Ah.  Springtime in Canada.  

Catching up

I knit all day yesterday. I also had to make meals and keep the tea water hot.  Keith is sick and is not happy.  He is mostly working from home but beyond that even he is low on energy.  It wasn't just me.  It's the cold flu thing .  

I knit lots.  No new pictures though.  None of the knitting was enough to show a difference so old photos.  

I knit more on my striped top.  

I knit on my Kauni sweater.

And I dreamed of knitting with all the yarns I pulled on my last stash dive.  So many good things.

I also want to tell you I am wearing my London Fog sweater today.  I love this sweater.  I made it with the London Fog colourway of Midknit Cravings Comfort DK using Rebecca Clow's Tolsta pattern.  It's already something I want to wear everyday.  The fit is perfect and the way the yarn drapes is beyond fantastic.  It's a perfect pairing of pattern and yarn.  I highly encourage you to support both yarn dyer and pattern designer.  They are just made for each other.  

My current Midknit Cravings obsessions are their Drama Colourway and Homegrown.  Honestly the more I see their colours, the more I want.  Poor me.  

I am sitting this morning watching it snow and blow. There are drifts across the streets and the driveway.   It's a good day to knit something fuzzy and warm and that is just what I am going to do.
