Moving on - the final part

What could have sidetracked me from those bright green socks you ask? What could be more interesting? Several things...




First there was the offer of paid knitting. This is the back and start of the front of a sweater being designed for Alpaca with a Twist. The designer needs it knit and has no time to do it herself.




And then of course there was spring weather. We had a waterfall that needed to be reworked and Dave decided to start one day while I was at work. I came home to all the rocks pulled off the hill and re-digging in progress. Couple of trips to the landscape supply place and several evenings of hauling and stacking resulted in a waterfall we are both quite happy with...finally.

Lastly, there was the email from a friend. Breast cancer had been found and surgery was done. Chemo comes next. What better use of a knitters time is there than to make something for a friend in need. Pattern is Shedir from a special breast cancer awareness issue of Knitty and prayers for good news are being knit into every stitch.
