The postbox had a lovely Sheep Postcard waiting for me today. It made its journey Via Royal Mail from my SP7. Lucie Fluff (aka: SP7), you seem to know how much I LOVE sheep. I enjoyed the story of your grandparents farm and will think of orphaned lambs as “caddy lambs” and think of you.
This postcard, will make its way into my 2006 Knitting Scrapbook, along with the other postcard I received. My love for sheep, caddy or not, will never fade.
In knitting news. I’m half done with the second sock in the Opal Bumble Bee Yarn (aka: 2 yo UFO). I am reading Life of Pi for the March Knit the Classics book and working along on my sock. Thankfully, the sock is mindless at this stage.
We had our BSD knit night up at Cutter’s Point Coffee last night. Always shutting the place down, lights are partially turned out to let us know it is time to go. We hadn’t met since, I believe October of last year. A good four months. As a group, we have decided that once a month to meet will keep us all going and yet not put a strain on having too much on the calendar.
I really need to finish that sock tonight…I also want to get back into my vest so I can move onto my “Spring” projects.
In gardening news. My tomato starts (plum) are doing great. I have lettuce started and perineal flowers going as well. I plan to get the pepper seeds sowed in the next week or so. The plants are loving my four shelf mini-green house in the southern exposure window of the dining room area in the great room. Warmth, daylight and daily attention from me.
Cute postcard. If you ever want your garden weeded or tilled just let me know! I didn’t plant one for the first time in many years and I’m suffering withdrawals. The knitting get together sounds like it was fun. Hooray for those moments away from kids, husbands, etc.
Cute sheepies!
