Feelin' Spring

I don't know how....I don't know why...but I am feelin' the Spring vibe in the air. It has been a fantastically mild winter. Now the days are getting longer I know that spring will be here. But on the east coast it usually means cold wet rainy snow. We'll see.
My endpaper fingerless gloves are a challenge. I am getting used to the pattern and using my left hand for the second colour. Small steps. I am very happy with the colours the owner of Tangled Skiens, my local shop, helped my choose. Even John likes the combination. I have not gotten very far with the glove, and because the yarn wasn't expensive I don't mind redoing or removing.
I'll post some pics later on tonight after I have finished my latest gauge swatch.

Thanks to all of the bloggers..


Thanks to all of those fabulous quilting, knitting and graphic arts bloggers out there who have inspired me to start blogging and showing what I am working on.


I am "free from work outside of the home" today for my bone density test. I know I will pass with flying colours, it's just for my doctor to have a base marker to work from in the future. (Sooo, you may guess that I am over 50 and you'd be correct). If I have to wait for my test, I'll bring my Eunny Jang Endpaper fingerless mitts. It is my first working in colours and second time working in the round with double pointed needles.


There is the cutest little yarn shop in my neighborhood where I picked up my yarn - Tangled Skeins - and the owner trialed the pattern already. She also helped me pick out my colours. Here they are so far.
