Yet another March

Super busy around Chez Wilson these days.  We finally have a closing date!!  Unless something else changes we are closing on March 17th.  I'm hoping to get in there with my Realtor sometime this week to get measurements and take another hard look at the place to figure out what are the priorities as soon as we close and start the pre-move process.  I've already started to pack up boxes of stuff that we don't necessarily use on an everyday basis.  Yes folks, that means that other then one basket with my two current works in progress all of the rest of my yarn and fiber are packed into boxes and bags and they are headed to storage for the moment.  I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do with myself if I finish them before I get everything moved over to the new house...but we'll cross that rickty rope bridge when we get there.  The two projects that made it to my basket are a February Baby Sweater (aka. Baby Sweater on Two Needles) from Elizabeth Zimmermann's Knitter's Almanac.  When I first got this book I was super excited but only gave it a read through before it got relegated to the bookshelf.  Upon hearing that a friend is having a baby I was looking through my stash trying to see if I had anything of appropiate baby-ness and I found a great skein of hand dyed sock yarn from Crafty Woman on Etsy.  It's full of yellows and oranges and just about the best dose of sunshine ever.  So I had this georgeus yarn and I went looking on Ravelry to see what I could find.  I saw this sweater and it just clicked.  Depending on how much yarn this eats I may have enough to make a hat to match.  I also have a pair of socks on the needles right now that were originally destined for me, but I cast on too many stitches and it is a color that isn't totally girly so these ones are going to DW who is very excited to have socks.  Hopefully I get a chance to enjoy some of the sun that we are supposed to be getting tomorrow and snap a couple of pictures of all of the things that have been coming off of the needles recently.  But, it's getting late right now and the eight o'clock bus and I have a date.  So pictures and other fun stuff will just have to wait until tomorow.
