Long Easter weekend, woohoo. Time for pretty spring dresses, chocolate pigouts, and sunny bouquets of daffodils. And what did the Easter bunny bring me this year?
Snow. Beautiful, serene, seasonally-inappropriate snow.
Global warming my arse.
The cardinals this morning seemed to be saying WTF???
Sigh... I guess it wasn't too late to knit the hot-water bottle cover after all.
In knitterly news, I got excited today when I realized I was on my last chart for the Icarus shawl. Only 28 rows left. Glory be! 28 rows is nothing! I can put away 28 rows in no time! I've got this beotch licked!
Then I remembered that right now, each row has a whopping 435 stitches. Let's do the math shall we?
28 x 435 = a crap load of stitches.
Oh, and it's more than that, because the shawl grows by four stitches every other row. So I have close to 13 000 stitches left to knit.
Will you excuse me? I need to go crawl under my bed and assume the fetal position for a few hours.
(I didn't even bother trying to take a good picture of this fugly albatross. We hates it.)
So of course, the only sane reaction to this torture is to start a new project. Don't judge me, it's just to take the edge off, ok? What I need is garter heaven. A mindless, chartless, not-black garter-stitch square, in thick Aran wool, on decent-sized needles.
Ahh.... that's better. Can anyone guess what I'm making?
(A hint: apparently this sweater is "EZ" to make.)
Oh, I know that nobody wants to see snow in April, but your pictures are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI know, the snow put a major damper on my weekend as well!:(
ReplyDeleteThat little bird does look confused. Great shot.
