I doubt ya’ll will be suprised that I’m choosing to blog right this minute because Hunter Hammersen is calling for pattern testers and I’m lurking online for the call for the pattern I envision in green.
In other news, I sort all my sock yarn by color except for Plucky Knitter and Madelinetosh Merino Light which I just realized is not the best system (if it is a system at all). I probably should sort them ALL by color…need to reorganize the yarn closet anyway – spring cleaning and all that.

So, Plucky Knitter – Primo Fingering – Oz is next up to bat. and then Barking Dog Yarns – Achilles – Robin Hood will be next in the queue (thanks for voting).
Now, I’m off to update my ravelry stash!

1. I feel like some green socks next. Which one of these do you prefer?


2. Happy St. Patrick’s Day – Doublemint style.


I wound some yarn for their mom that will grow up to be a Dahlia Cardigan.
which makes me think of lavender.
which grows in Ireland.
bringing it back to St. Patrick’s Day!

3. Cascade Yarns Heritage Silk (color: 5633)

There once was a lass called Bonita.
The only cheese she might like is Velveeta.

A more generous person, you never did know.
She’s also funny but won’t steal your show.

Handier in a pinch than most folks hereabouts.
Bonita is wise and does not suffer louts.
She’ll be supportive if zombies you run from.
And if she were a pirate, she’d give you her rum.

She has a sweet soul, is kind-hearted, loves dogs.
I’m pretty sure she’d throw those Highland Games logs.



Her great taste in books and film should get a mention.
She takes fun to another dimension.

She keeps secrets right up there with graves.
I could see her running and dancing with braves.

She’ll tell you what you need to hear, rather than want to.
Sometimes, her ideas are fresh as the dew.

Going to a haunted house with her is highly recommended.
But, you’ll have to find your own Bones, cause this one is friended.
Which I just realized means you’re out of luck.
Cause this lovely lady is a one of a kind duck.

Happy Birthday, Friend! I hope Paris treats you to the most beautiful day of your life.
