I’m working on the Bluebird Zee (almost done!) and the Volcanic Asterope. You’ve seen them before.
I spun up my first silk hankie, corespun on crochet cotton. I’m not thrilled, but know practice will help.
I talk about my bulbs, roses, and birds in other things. Spring is coming! Yay!

FO:
Nesaia by Sandra Dehler in Canadian BFL from The Color Wheel (shop here) in the Amethyst colorway. We have a coupon code…. gotta watch to find it out!
WIPs:
- Companion Cube for DH for Valentine’s day (hope he doesn’t watch today or tomorrow AM!) by Beverly Laundry out of Vanna’s Choice (various colors).
- Cerisara by Bonne Marie Burns, out of Elsabeth Lavold Silky Wool. Making good progress.
- Volcanic Asterope by Romi Hill out of Wolle’s CCC, Volcano II colorway. Also making surprisingly good progress.
No spinning. Sorry, wheels! I still love you I promise!
Acquisitions… Just the Interweave Knits Spring 2013 issue. I think this is my favorite pattern (the Chloe’s Vest, here on ravelry). That’s a lot of fingering weight, though!
What’s next, you ask? Other than the Crochet-o-Rama for March? Well, the Koi Rama!
And, to close:
- Toll Free Callers, please leave me the heck alone.
- My be nice lecture. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” and “if you don’t want to see it on the front page of the newspaper don’t do it.”
Happy Valentine’s Day!
