While recovering from ankle injury I finally finished my mitts!

A bad ankle sprain and just like that garden prep and onion start acquisition thwarted. Feeling bad for all animals in my care. Knitting stocks are up though.

Happy Imbolc or St. Brigid’s Day! Celebrate the hint of the return of light by crafting and preparing for gardening. Also marked by sweeping out the house with a birch broom and lighting candles. So knit away, order your seeds and compost, sweep out the cobwebs and read by candlelight tonight.

I think there’s a cat in there somewhere.

She watches over me 😻🐈

Just finished the cabled body of my Shamrock sweater by Justyna Lorkowska with Nua Worsted yarn by Stolen Stitches in Mosquito coast. Now just neck and sleeves to go and maybe it’ll be done in time to go to Ireland with me. #showmeyourknits #cableknitting

Sweater I just finished. It was deceptively difficult but she likes it and that’s what matters.

In case you’ve never seen baby peacocks.

I can’t stop the flood of emotion since hearing about Jimmy Carter’s passing. He was my best example of a good human and it feels like with his death we are left with only the Trumps of this world. May we know many more like him in the future.
