Overnight snowfall certainly puts the arrival of March in the Lion Category. And, sadly, while we got snowfall – it was not enough to insulate the newly budding and growing things.
Frozen Chives make me sad.
Oh, and add to the mix what I knew would be inevitable with warm/cold/warm/cold weather – Welcome to the House of the Head Cold! Yeah – fun times!
Good thing I have a pile of knitting to keep me company. And, if that were not enough… Mary shared with me this juicy tidbit (which will make all of us Benedict Cumberbatch fans ecstatic!!) I have not read the books, but I got them on my Kindle yesterday.
Now, how about some links to keep your knitting mojo on track (or get it back on track…)
Sock knitting is always a good thing and there were a couple of nice patterns released this past week:
- Vanilla Extract knit with Fish Lips Kiss Heel so for $2 you have the recipe for some cute socks and you support two designers at the same time!
- Tinker’s Puzzle Socks
There was a plethora of shawls:
- High Woods Shawl (on sale for £1 until Sunday morning)
- The Bee Queen (Free until March 4)
- Lori Versaci has sinuous – this is such fascinating construction!
- Persistence – with donations from each purchase to a variety of organizations, i.e. ACLU, SPLC, Planned Parenthood, etc.
- With Ease – a comfortable friend for your shoulders
- More Svetlana – she is an artist with yarn and needles
Garter stitch sweaters make my heart sing:
Miscellaneous, but noteworthy:
- Birlinn Blanket
- Backflip Hat and Mitts
- Tofty Mitts
And finally, Easter Bunny Egg Cozy… really, we all need these asap!
Have a great weekend everyone, see you back here on Monday!
oh no. Feel better! We did not get any snow (yet). But it’s quite chilly around here!
So many great links! Here’s hoping you feel much better, the weather stabilizes and stops the freeze-thaw cycle, and you have a wonderful weekend!
Kat, Kat, Kat…. You and those links. 😉
I LOVE them. Am I ever going to knit all of those patterns? We’ll see…
I’ve thus far (knock on wood!) escaped a cold, but I had my allergies acting up when it got warm and now that it’s cold again I have a drippy nose. I think we could all benefit from curling up in bed with a cup of tea, a good book, and our knitting until it gets more temperate!
Your chives are much farther along than mine and I’m sorry yours were hurt by the frost. Surely, they’ll bounce back. Stay warm and enjoy your knitting. We have a bit of a warm up until Monday…then comes winter, again (and again).
Sorry about the snow but I predict your chives will bounce back. It’s wicked cold here today and will be all weekend, sadly. That Bee Queen pattern is gorgeous!
I hope the cold disappears quickly! Feel better!
Sorry about a cold! No fun and I hope you aren’t feeling too punk! Lotsa fun knitting projects you shared…in my next life ;-)).
Loved the sky picture and I trust your plants will survive.
Feel better,
Cheers~
I bought Sunday Drive! huge fan of Tanis and this sweater looks like one I actually “need” 🙂 Really looking forward to diving into Patrick Melrose. We watched a little bit of The Imitation Game last night and I am itching for more BC!
