Spring Cleaning

Today is likely to be spring cleaning day in my house. I am so far behind on getting things ready for spring. I'm putting DH to work on some house maintenance . . . that will get that stuff put away. DD's will be helping me with cleaning.

I'm there with the Yarn Harlot when she said, "I'm sure I lost a couple of days!" in one of her recent posts. The woman is hilarious!

We're headed to Disney's California Adventure tomorrow to celebrate my nephews birthday, so all the housework needs to be done today. This isn't making for much knitting . . . but that sometimes happens. Life is nothing if it isn't unpredictable. So . . . wish me luck.

Stefanie Japel, one of my favorite designers is moderating / hosting and I am so excited. Her designs are elegant, yet very easy to wear and make. The design chosen for the KAL is her Textured Circle Shrug from the Book GlamKnits. Lionbrand has offered the pattern for free for a short time so you don't have to buy the book. Stefanie is blogging weekly at Lionbrand with lots of great tips and hints for making things go smoothly. It is like having the designer sitting next to you helping you with knitting the design. It's great! I'm looking forward to having ...

Traveling

I am almost finished with Traveling Woman by Liz Abinante of Feministy.com. It is a free pattern for a scarf size shawl with a wonderfully pretty but really easy lace pattern. I used Malabrigo Sock for it. I am in LOVE with Malabrigo. It is the most luxurious fiber I have ever used. I can see why so many people love "the Mal". It is going well and I am debating right now whether to add a repeat of one of the lace charts in order to make the overall size a little bigger.
