Is it Spring yet? Maybe... Finally...



So I have been madly knitting SPRING coloured socks to get through the remainder of this winter which has been white/grey cold with no colours. Blah. I have made some pretty socks to make up for the lack of colours around here. These are No Purl Monkeys (really move along quickly and I love this pattern!) in a really happy "Daffodil" colour and the others in a lavender/pink colour "Crocus" in the No Purl Monkeys. I finished my Noro socks and am happy with the way they turned out. They soften up nicely in the wash and are worth the effort. Am now working on the "Nutkin" socks pattern and thought it would be appropriate to do them in squirrel colours. So they are more suited to the fall really, but fun to try a new pattern. Not as happy with that pattern as the Monkeys though. Am working on a Baby Cable in STR Raven colours for hubby for his birthday. Will let you know how they turn out. So happy that the sun is out today and snow is finally melting. Lots of cleanup. Am cleaning windows today and I guess the spring cleaning bug has bitten me because I am just zipping around scrubbing everything. It feels good. Happy knitting and Happy Spring!!
