I've been spinning a bit here and there. My long-draw is slowly improving as I get more practice, but I still haven't put in enough time with it for it to seem easy. Not proficient, by any means. (Is there such a thing as antificient? Still antificient...)
Still knitting. I only seem to get a row or two done a night, but patience is rewarded. (Eventually...) I'm this close to finishing the toe of sock #2:
And it's time to think gardening. The damn snow will be gone soon - Spring is going to come. (I keep telling myself that to keep my spirits up...)
Tomato seedling are happy little things. Notice the white marker in the lower left corner - I cut up the lid from a sour cream container to make plant markers. Usually we use the cut-up container itself to make markers from, but this year I had more lids than containers, so I'm testing the lids. (Write on them with pencil, rather than pen or marker. Ink fades in the sun, pencil does not. Just a little tip from your Auntie Mango.)
Last chance for entries in the great LambWatch of 2012. I really am going to close entries this time!
Well darn! Today was my day.
ReplyDeleteYou inspire me to return to spinning. For a minute I thought I saw a blossom on your tomato seedling :>)
ReplyDeleteIf I can still enter - April 1 for Onyx and April 7 for Goldie!
ReplyDeleteYou still have snow? It was 81 degrees here in Minneapolis today. I think it's the end of the world.
ReplyDeleteYou still have snow? Ours disappeared several days ago. It was 81 degrees above zero) in Minneapolis today. I think it is the end of the world.
