The relation of this picture with knitting is what I see when I sit in my wingchair, looking out as I knit. It was about 6:15 p.m. when I snapped this photo. To the left of the woodland island is the path to my garden. To the right is our driveway to our private, gravel road. The field looks terrible, but the ducks are loving all the water in it. I should plant wildflowers around the edges of the woodland island, but either the ducks, chickens or that rascley-mountain beaver I saw run across the garden path last evening would eat/dig them up.
I should be getting my clothes ready for work tomorrow and getting ready for the Corpse Bride, the movie choice tonight. DH said a new “Lost” is on…but Tivo will take care of that, now won’t it?
I am making a great bit of progress on my cable vest…I plan on making it more of a waist-length vest, leaving my shirttails to hang out.
You know what just gets me, I am hardly getting any knitting done. What is with that? I have such great ideas, plans, thoughts that run through my head, but I can’t get my knitting-act together. I need to change that.
There are some awesome knitters out there that crank sweaters out like a bubblegum machine, quick as a wink and gorgeous. I don’t want to make “chunky” (make myself look even bigger) sweaters to have a Fo to show for it. I want “lucious, luxury, wow, you knit that garmet” for me, me, me. OK…I’m so very on the PMS kick…I had cramps so bad this morning, I swore I was having back labor again and no baby to show for it. LOL
Enough bitchin’.
On a good note: I order One Skein at 6 am before heading off to work from KnitPicks. I have yet to even look at the contents of this book to see if it would pass my “QC” for book purchasing. Taking a chance afte seeing what others had knit from it. Another book to de-stash and to use my handspun.
Off to iron, movie watch and work on my vest….
Let us know how you like the book. I haven’t seen it either but I’m tempted…
Nice view! I have been barley knitting too, must be the weather, although we are having a second winter in my neck of the woods not spring
!
Yes please let us know what you think of the One Skein book, I have been curious about it myself…

I just received One Skein in the mail yesterday. There is a blog for it too…along with a swap. I have the button for it on my blog. It is pretty good. I like the de-stash patterns and the home patterns. There are some cool little cupcake patterns as well.
I saw that book at the book store and a quick flip through it. I like the rug pattern. Let me know how you like the book, I am thinking of getting it too. I haven’t been knitting much either, but I have been doing a lot of frogging lately. It is March, something is wrong with the universe in March, that is my explanation.
I just love your View!
Now I have knitting view envy!
