That's the kind of blues I'm talking about!
The Holidazed socks are donedonedone!!!
Two more socks can be added to the YTD tally!
Our holidays were great...quiet...we spent some time with family and friends...
...and lots of knitting and photog were happening.
All kinds of goodness graced our days!
And check out that wonderful sunlight!!
Blue color is everlastingly appointed by the Deity to be a source of delight.

Holidazed pattern by Anne Hanson
STR in 'Blue Brick Wall'
This most adorable nest decorated one of the packages of goodies I ordered from Lisa. Her little boy made it. Is it not the sweetest little nest you've ever seen? I heart it to pieces.
I am racing against time to match my 60 sock record from last year.
Cast-on-itis is the word of the month!!
This pair of socks is one of my favorite patterns; it's Anne's 'Holidazed' pattern that she designed for RSC for November 2009 oops, that would be 2008! Thanks, Cristi!
They're being knit in STR 'Blue Brick Wall'.
A lovely dash of color to brighten these rainy days.
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
~Emily Dickinson
The Holidazed socks are finished! As this is the third pair I've knit since November...I will leave you with just these few parting shots. I like love this pattern...alot!
Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain.

I caught a few minutes of the setting sun on the river yesterday evening.
Very quiet.
Very calm.
I think I'll go back...soon.
The second Holidazed sock in STR Basan has a heel and almost a toe.
Completion is imminent.
Thank you, thank you for all your kind words about the honey bun cake. It was indeed yummy!! The recipe came from the Cake mix Doctor cookbook by Anne Byrn. Very easy, very tasty!
I think we've seen the last of the sun for a little bit.
What's a girl to do during the cloudy days of winter, you ask?
Here's what
I'm knitting: Holidazed socks in STR Basan and Leyburns in STR Froggin'
we're watching: AI, Leverage, 24, CSI (all of them), L&O (both of them), and starting next week The Closer and Trust Me.
I'm reading: Twilight (It was filmed in and around PDX and St. Helens...woot!)
is in the Netflix queue: Mad Men, Eureka, Transsiberian, and the newest season of MI-5
movie I'm looking forward to watching: Taken (can you say Liam Neeson)
That should should keep us busy until the sun reappears...I might need some more knitting though! :)
Happy Thursday!
We're moving from gray and drizzly to sunlight. A welcome sight, indeed. The witch hazel tree in our yard is the harbinger of spring. It seems to be blooming early this year...perhaps it knows something we don't!
A new pair of socks kept my hands busy as I listened to AI tonight.
Autumn arrives in the early morning, but spring at the close of a winter day.
