Quietly waiting for spring

Not much has been happening at Windyridge since our trip to the Big Island. We are just waiting for spring to appear.

I've been enjoying knitting on some larger items none of which aren't quite done.  I said I'd never knit a "Down The Rabbithole" blanket - EVER AGAIN - but the sock scraps were really multiplying and something just had to be done with them!

 I must admit this time I looked for a pattern I thought would be quicker and definitely with less ends to weave in. This is a much quicker project than my Down The Rabbithole Blanket but still makes me feel just a bit crazy. Even though the blanket is on the downhill side I have over 300 stitches on the needle ! Everyone is beginning to chatter about their Stash Dash projects and so perhaps I’ll let this marinate just a bit and finish up in June.

I've notice many stranded yoke patterns appearing and decided to join the masses. This Griz Sweater has just one sleeve left to be knit before I can call it complete. I'm very happy with the fit and the way I knit the yoke. I was given the hint to "block" as I knit by stretching and working the sweater every few rows. It makes a difference!

As always there are socks on the needles. It's fun to pull out a much loved pattern every once in a while and Socks On a Plane came to mind because I'll be on the plane soon for a visit to California!
