Looking good!
Funny! I just made a mental note to visit you next February. I'm desperate for blooming bulbs.
I am SO jealous!
Your Olympic knitting is turning out super!
I've got some of those too, your first pic. I'm eagerly awaiting the blooms, hoping to get some February color in soon.
I don't see the theme but the knitting is lovely.
New growth? Lambies included?
Christine just cracks me up.
Your vest looks great! I got my first hard row knit last night, found a mistake, tinked back and reknit it. Blazing speed I tell you. Today's a new day!
My sissy (Texan) is closest; I see swelling/drooping/promise of new life in all these.
Sara, I made blazing (for me) progress yesterday afternoon, only to look down to see that I'd stopped switching every four rows to create the checkerboard and had gone to a straight 2x2 rib. LOTS of tinking; got back on track before bed. But I didn't regain the length I had!
Since I had no idea what the back of the vest looks like (the pattern only has a front photo), knitting this has been a happy surprise!
You're just terrible!!! Showing off those Daffies due to bloom! UGH! Of course we sitll have snow on the ground and will have it until late April as usual, but I have blooming bulbs in my windowsills, does that count? And today we're hatching Muscovy ducklings too - woohoo! Can't wait to see the finished vest!
