Its getting better all the time

I decided to add my April Kal to this post. I don't have much to add. The weather is beautiful here. So we spent our day out in it!

I thought the dishcloth was appropriate. Spring is finally here!

Have a wonderful day!

I wanted this done by today. Oh Well. I am almost to the armholes. I have to keep reminding myself that, not only am I doing the front, but the back and sleeves all at the same time. SOO the process is a little slower, but not.
I am on the fence with the yarn. Blue Skies Organic Cotton. It does get dirty, easily. Peels a little. I will have to wash it when I finish. I will make my final decision after it is finished.
This is a great book. Lots of inspiration. If you are looking for your purpose in life, this book gives you some thoughts.
I had the pleasure of meeting Debbie, at a signing and reading last fall. She is charming. She tells her story of how she came to be the writer she is today. I have read all her books about the Shop on Blossom street. Its a good read.


These are recovering hubby's socks. I started
one of them on the Florida trip. When his surgery turned out to be more than we bargained for, I felt a profound need to work on them. I can't wait to finish them. The yarn is stiff, not very soft to the touch. I will wash them in some wool lite and hope to soften them.
He is coming along nicely. He had a eight day stay at the hospital. We brought him home on Tuesday morning. Since then he is doing great. A nurse comes every other day or so. And all have been happy with his progress. He sees the surgeon on Thursday and will schedule his second and final surgery. And after that, we will hopefully resume our boring, suburban life again.
In all the drama and sadness that went on in my life last week, a good thing happened. I, who never ever wins anything, won this beautiful kit. Laurie http://laurieg63.blogspot.com/had a contest during lent. Do something nice
for someone. If you want to see what I wrote go to Laurie's blog Feb 2008 and you'll see.
I couldn't believe she was so generous to give away such a beautiful gift! I am so excited and cannot wait to get it and get started on it! She does want me to post the progress. I can and will do that! That way, I have to finish it!!! Look for that page someday soon!
Well, I have some cross-stitch to do. Yes I said cross stitch. I found a new stitch shop not far from Bloomin yarns! We have not had a cross stitch shop since Noble craftsmen. Which closed! The shop is called "The French Knot" BEAUTIFUL! worth the trip to see her shop. It is just so pretty! She is right across the street from Donaldson crossroads. I think it on east mcmurray. Call for times. She has little ones and works around them.
Till the next post, keep knitting!
