A flower a day keeps cabin fever away...

We have had enough winter weather (yes, yes I know it's only January and I live in Ohio, but I'm tired of it already!) causing my thoughts to turn to flowers, gardens and the warm breezes of spring.
Bring on the gardening catalogs!

On the needles...

This is the beginning of two socks on one set of circulars, magic loop.  The pattern can be obtained here:
I'm hoping I can finish them before spring so my son can enjoy wearing them while it's cold since they are Regia 4 ply wool. 

Off the needles....finally!

These Nutkin Fingerless Gloves were knitted for my daughter.  You can get the information here: http://kataish.blogspot.com/2009/10/nutkin-fingerless-gloves.html
It was a fun knit!  You can also do the Nutkin pattern in a sock, which I have started but have yet to finish.
You can find the pattern here http://www.knitzi.com/

Just because...


We are going on a week now of grey skies, fog, snow, freezing rain, 50 degrees one day and 20 degrees the next.  It's Ohio...we're use to it.  That's not to say we like it, but we've come to expect it.  I'm starting to receive gardening catalogs!  Yeah!!!!!  It's almost time to start seeds and get the garden plans under way. So.....until spring gets a bit closer, I have to, I need to......... look back at pictures from springs and summers past.  Doing so eases the cabin fever that takes place this time of year~
