This morning I walked across our front lawn. That might not sound like much to you, especially if you live in a warmer climate than I, but here in Maine, walking across one's lawn on April 2 can mean only one thing: the snow is almost gone!Inspired by that feat, I got out the rake and began clearing last fall's leaves from my flower beds. Lo and behold, I discovered primroses ,
hens and chicks,...and that golden leaf poking through the ground? It's rhubarb! Visions of a strawberry rhubarb pie immediately started dancing through my head.
On a less-happy note, it appears the girls have had a spat. This is what I found when I walked past them a little while ago.
I finished my Knitting Pure and Simple Neckdown Summer Cardigan a couple of days ago. It was quite fun to knit, and it came out jim-dandy, although I think I used the wrong stitch for binding off. I'm not going to ravel and bind off again, though. It'll be my dirty little secret. I used Lion Brand Cotton-ease yarn for this project, and it seems to be a very nice yarn. It's 50% cotton, 50% acrylic, which is what I was looking for. I tried knitting a sweater from 100% cotton yarn and ended up with a baggy, saggy creation which I promptly raveled in its entirety. So there.
wow you are a catch-gardener, yard worker, knitter and doll maker! glad you could find the lawn, sorry the girls had a spat but that does sounds like girls.lol.
ReplyDeleteGirls will be girls!!! Robbie's favorite is strawberry rubarb pie, now I've got a craving for it!!!
ReplyDeleteMay I add also that if one walks across their lawn in April here it means that it isn't too muddy either!
ReplyDeleteAren't those little plants a sight for sore eyes. I found my hen and chicks doing quite well already. And those girls, goodness!
Have the girls made up yet?
ReplyDeleteCheryl, I've separated the girls, so things are going much better between them now.
ReplyDeleteUh oh! I just did a comment and I think I clicked it before it posted. I just wanted to tell you that I am totally impressed with how talented and creative you are. That sweater is fabulous and the dolls are so cute!
