(Is that a word, cocooning? ) That sort of sums up how I've been feeling the last two months. Living in a cocoon, not feeling like communicating with anyone. Nothing bad, just being quiet. Just me and my knitting... (see my Ravelry page)
Winter has come and gone, but spring hasn't arrived yet. We are so many weeks behind schedule. Lots of rain, and clouds and only a couple of hours of sun. (and those hours felt soooo good!)
The kids each came home for a week, but only at the same time for a couple of overlapping days. Nice to have them each for ourselves. The two of us had a great roadtrip to central Oregon in February visiting Mr. G's middle brother and wife. Good times and several beers were had...
Now we're getting closer to our Spring Break. We're thinking of spending a couple of days near or in Port Townsend and maybe a cheeky visit to the Dutch/ British/ Scandinavian grocery store in Poulsbo on the way there. My licorice stock (= drop) is nearing its end...
I've been loving our treadmill purchase. Almost every day you can find me on it and I'm finally starting to see and feel some results! With the awful weather we've had (and still have) it has been an excellent purchase!
Well, that's it for now. I've just started my most ambitious knitting project to date, the Clio sweater. I had a hard time finding the right weight yarn. It called for a light DK, but I'm using a sock weight yarn by Madeline Tosh in the colorway 'Asphalt'. I'm loving all the colorful bits in it. Her's to hoping that my gamble will be paying off...
