spring has sprung

and here's the yarn to prove it.

The color is called daffodil 292 yards of 17wpi Romney. Enough to make a short pair of socks. Which is what I would do with it were it in my stash. But I've donated it to church for the goods and services auction. I'm hoping they get at least $10 for it.

I also put in a half dozen knitted dishcloths. I can afford to take them from my 'stash' of cloths... I'm always making more. Speaking of I need to start on one for my exchange partner.

This weekend was a bust. I got nothing accomplished that I wanted to. Oh well...I'll work like mad all week...

I cast on the BSJ for Mabel... I have about 8 purl ridges finished... EZs instructions are sparse to say the least.

Mom went with us to church and lunch. I hope she enjoyed her little outing. Not much else exciting....

I start teaching the chilluns at school to knit this afternoon... should be fun. Can't wait and I have GREAT help this year. So I went to Wegmans to get some back up chopsticks. Got a dozen pair from the prepared foods and asked how much they would be. The woman looked at me as if I were crazy. She thought I was asking for more... she told me just to take them, that they were free. The ones in the asian food aisle are square and the tapered the whole length, so they don't make for good knitting needles.
Good for me and the kids. Our charity is project Linus this year. Hope we get a few blankies made for those kids.....
