So This Happened

 

There's no worse feeling than knitting along and then realizing that your stitches are no longer on your cables. I've had it happen with lace, with colorwork and now with a sock. Luckily I had another needle in the same size or I would have been a lot more hopping mad than I was. 




This also happened yesterday. We spent the morning clearing all the winter debris off of all the things that are sprouting up all over the place. We've got temperatures near 50 and plenty of sun all week so it was time to see what was going on under all the dead stuff. It's a good thing we looked because there was plenty going on everywhere. 



We were outside working in just our shirts but when we took Pup down to the marina for a walk we spied the fire department's big rescue boat breaking up ice along the docks. There was still a thick coat of it in the calmer waters of the inlet and the day fishermen were having a time getting their boats out on such a nice day. I wouldn't exactly say spring has sprung right yet but it's getting pretty darn close.

    That needle would make me angry, too, but it is lovely to hear about all the signs of spring! I don't have anything sprouting yet, but I might after this week. I guess that means I should go clear out the beds, too.

    I said UGH out loud when I first started reading this post. I'm hoping to pull weeds in the veggie garden this week!

    There is a single daffodil at the edge of my backyard that has pushed through in the last couple of days. At one time, there were maybe half a dozen back there; this one must be supremely hearty.

    Oh, so sorry about the knitting. I've done it too and it's frustrating. But spring! I hope it's here too. We have 53F right now. 90 degrees warmer than last week at this time!!!!! Unreal.
    Blessings,

    Spring is easily two - three months away in my corner of the world, so I’m happy to see signs of it in your area.

    I know just what you mean about the ooops on stitches! Glad you could fix it--the sock is a beauty! The work outdoors is a gorgeous way to spend a few hours!
