Promise of Spring

 We have sidewalk with very few icy spots.
 The frozen water is slowly, slowly melting.

 Jeff's Honey Crisp has nice little buds!

 Here is a first strawberry plant; the others are still buried under some snow.
 Part of the sage is growing as well as a violet with the first bloom.
Oh boy! soon it will be time to dig in the dirt!

Knitting, Always Knitting

The yarn is hand dyed from Knitivity; I know him as "Knitterman" via ravelry.  The brights (cardigan and hat) are a special request from an etsy buyer.  
The hand knit cardigan with puffed sleeves is an edited version of Becky Colvin's pattern for the 13" LD doll.  My model is 10" Patsy and the outfit is on ebay.

Hand Knits

This ensemble fits the 10" Tonner Patsy or Ann Estelle doll.  It also fits many of the small bjd girls and boys.

Melting Quickly

I did a quick snow shovel this morning after a trip to Michael's for yarn.  Thank you to the sun and dry air, plus 43 degrees..........................

Wet Walk - New Snow






Only an inch of new snow so I didn't need trekkers.  It's wet and shouldn't last long!

Thick Fog: Spoiled!

There was such dense fog this morning of 18 degrees temp, and bits of moisture on the cold windshield as I drove to St. Mark.  It just felt very damp and icky.
 I walked into the house to find this lovely sight!
 
 
Cheers! I quickly changed into my warmer jeans and corduroy shirt and enjoyed breakfast with Doc.
