Seriously?

 Seriously winter?
Ice storm this weekend...really?
You know we all love to knit in the crappy weather,
but we can knit just as well in spring weather!

Finished up Joey's socks.
Size 0 needle.
Crystal Palace Panda Silk Yarn (with bamboo)
Afterthought heel.
Made for man with size 10 foot.
I love the results. They are very soft.
Pattern is K6 rows.
7th row  - K1, P1
to give it a little "flair".
Joe said brown? Why did you make Joey brown socks!
Well I added stripes, and since he got the Koolaid experiment
color socks last year, I think brown will be ok with him this year!

Just turned the heel on Mark's giant socks.
KnitPicks hawthorne yarn, size 2 needle.
Really nice yarn.
There is a little pattern in there, every 6 rows
to give it some optical interest.

Ruth is coming along with her shawl. It's getting so big
it's hard to photo.
I saw it in person this week and the colors are stunning.

In other news....

the ice story. At least it was not as bad as predicted, though it sleeted
and we had freezing rain ALL day today.


Some good news.  Joe made Mickey a new perch.
Took him a LONG time...but worth it. He said never again.

It is really deluxe, and Mickey loves it.

Happy knitting dear blog readers....maybe spring will come
soon!

I wish holly would use her cat tree, which we bought for her so she could 'escape' Frodo. So far no go. Isn't the weather crazy? I keep hoping it will get into the high 50- mid 60s. that would be enough for me.
