Winter Flamingo

| 4 Comments

Just a short post today.  I am suffering from a toddler who decided that 5 AM was the perfect time to get up Tuesday morning -- and it was my turn to hang out with her since she wouldn't go back to sleep.  Needless to say, not much knitting is happening Tuesday night* since higher brain function is all but non-existent.

On the positive side, the sun did come out today and we had a lovely, if cold  (sunshine in the winter only heralds cold weather) January day.  I got a little more warmth and sunshine from another recent fiber arrival.

20090113_SundaraFlamingo.jpgSundara Fingering Silky Merino in "Flaming Flamingo" (oh the interesting images that conjures up!).  Bright, happy and sunny -- exactly what I would expect from the "Summer" colorway collection for the Seasons subscription. Certainly a sweet confection to enjoy in the depths of a Chicago January -- almost too precious to knit. 

*John's first sock might get finished... it's all done but the ribbing.  But odds are not good, at this poinf for completion of the pair by Thursday.  I still have high hopes for the weekend though!

Ahh, early morning play time. It does make for an addled day. The yarn is beautiful!

That is gorgeous! I have been coveting her yarns for a couple of years now. I really should save my pennies for her next subscription!

That's beautiful yarn.

Oh yes. The early mornings. Still my least favorite part of parenting, although now that they are 6 and 2 1/2 it is mitigating a bit...we usually make it to 7 on weekends and once they both slept until 8! Bliss! good luck with the socks.
