Just six days ago, we had temps below freezing over night out at the farm. Today here in the city it will be in the 80's.
I hope Spring was not skipped entirely.
Especially now that I have restocked my stash shelves after discovering The Red Thread .
That wonderful shop is not too far out of the way on my two country-to-city drives each week.
| The yarn in the bag is for a secret project! |
The blanket I am working on for the new baby grandson on the way might get a bit warm in my lap if the high temps continue.
I so love the little loops along the bottom.
I can just picture his wee fingers playing with the holes.
And I do hope it gets cool enough at games so I have a chance to wear the Lynchburg Lacrosse Cheering Socks I am working on.
{It was so fun to find sock yarn already striped in my son's school colors: red, white, grey and black.}
Hot weather or not, there is one special sign of spring that I cannot miss cityside :
The Washington DC Cherry Blossoms
So this morning the question is...
Do I head into work or
hop on my bicycle, pedal a short distance to the Tidal Basin and take some pretty pictures for you?
I will let the boss know what you think.

Get on your bike and take pictures. Work can wait, I'm sure the boss won't mind. I need to check out the yarn shops in your area soon (-:
Don't go to work hop on your bike that is what I would do:)
Love the little blanket and the socks are awesome. B
I believe that'd be pictures ;-).
Get on your bike . . . now, soon . . . Great post, love seeing your knit creations, beginning and finished . . . everything here was "socking perfect!"
Whatever pleases you My Dear!! Love your post... XO

Cherry Blossoms! (and I am loving the blanket)

love the blanket pattern! so cool!
Nice projects! I have never seen a baby blanket like that one - looking forward to seeing your finished project. Also like the color of your son's socks; I'm a big red color fan myself.
I hope you went and took some photos:)
The blanket is lovely. I love the sock yarn. Those are going to be fantastic socks:)
Spring is being a bit of a tease where I live. She lifted her skirt and showed a little leg last week. It was in the 70s and gorgeous. Now, we're straight back to freezing and with rain. Such a disappointment.
Love the baby blanket and the colours of the socks

The blanket is exquisite and the loops along the bottom really make it special.
Yarn in the right colour way is a truly great find - loving the socks!
I love the blanket and the socks. Hope you have a great day tomorrow either way.
If you ask me: Hop on your bike although I am the kind of girl who goes to work. ;-)
Interesting blanket - love the stripy sock.
Definitely get on your bike and take pictures! I love love love that blanket, and your new stash, woooo!
It's probably too late to tell you to go take pictures. ;-)
A friend was posting photos on Facebook over the weekend... so pretty!
I love your sock and am intrigued by that blanket pattern.
I love the texture of those cables -- it'll be worth having a warm lap! :-)
Ah Spring! Knitting can wait, enjoy the weather!
Spring is the time to knit at night when it's still cooler out. I really adore the baby blanket you are working on. I don't think I've ever seen a pattern like that. Can't wait to see it finished.
Oh, what fun socks! I love that blanket, it looks like a great challenge.
