ripped the bees

that's right.....I ripped them out. All of them. I didn't like the way one of the bees looked, so buh-bye.
The good news is...I started again. I'm almost back to where I was before the big rip, and it's looking much better. GO me!

No pics. This one is going to have to be blocked to get the full effect.

In other news, I've been so good not buying yarn (not much, at least) and I didn't go to madrona. So, I didn't feel too sorry when I fell in love with Glenna's cowl. The fine folks at Bijou Basin Ranch were kind enough to make this into a kit, and put it on sale. You know where that went. The hard part was choosing from the gorgeous array of colors. I finally settled on a light lavender. I wanted something different, and also something in a light color that would show off the cables. It should be here next week. I can hardly wait!!

There was also a sale on a couple of patterns this week, so I just had to have French cancan. Sensing a theme here?? cables anyone??

It's still on sale, so......I'll leave that up to you.

Anyway.....this week, more bees and a bunch of gardening.....
happy spring!!

been doggie sittin"

and not knittin'

I did make a bit of progress on the bees this week. Got past the horribly messed up row I was avoiding there for a while.
I spent most of my week watching this girl.....and making sure she's healing well from her recent surgery. She's doing great (in spite of the cone), and looking forward to getting her stitches out at the end of the week. Me too!!


This is the time of year where the knitting slows down a bit and the gardening totally takes over. I can hardly wait!!
