I have nothing on my needles. N.O.T.H.I.N.G.
I finished my papaya sweater last night and I want to block again. The bottom edge was still curling even with the crocheted edge. I hope that cures it.
I tried the sweater on this past weekend and I wasn’t loving it. I hope I will after all the time and effort that went into it. Blocking can only cure certain things…
Yes, I hate seaming. It took three hours to seam the right side and sleeve on the papaya cardi.
I’m working on the crocheted edge. I have half of it done.
It’s taking me longer to do the finishing work than it did knitting the entire thing.
I mailed a package to my friend in Kentucky last Saturday. She received it safe and sound yesterday so I thought I’d share pictures of what I sent to her. The soaker is for her 8-month old girl. Yarn: Cascade 220 (green and brick-red) and Sensations Kashmira (aqua – discontinued).

Originally I was going to make a face on the back side but didn’t have the right colors of yarn to finish it.
I also sent her very own pair of Musica Mitts. She loves music and commented on the mitts I made for Mr. Aitch so I thought I’d make a pair for her.

Whoa! 8520 stitches!!
Yesterday I got a surprise at work from Mr. Aitch:
One dozen red roses
My office smells so lovely and fresh. The sun was even shining for part of the day. Spring is on its way.
However, winter isn’t quite ready to leave just yet. Yesterday started out at 51 degrees but by 2:00 pm we had rain mixed with sleet and snow and 34 degrees. Yuck.
This morning it was 24 degrees. Cold enough for my new hat!
