And We're Back...

I did not get the cardigan done.  The outside of the center pull ball I was using unwound, found some of my hair, random cat fluff, plus a few fuzzies for good measure and ended up with partially matted knots in a few spots. 
Scissors were involved.
I refused to stress about it. 
So I pulled out a lovely shawl I had made several years ago, flung it round my shoulders and called it good.
I did get the sleeves attached to the body though:

Most of the yarn barf mess has also been attended.  The project got put in time out for a few days.

I have managed to complete most of the body of my modified Brenda sweater in KnitPicks Wool of the Andes in Winter Night colorway.

Sadly, that is pretty much all of my knitting.  The time and the drive just haven't been there.

Spring is finally starting to show itself around here.  Mostly in hazy clouds of green, pink and white around still skeletal looking trees.
And in dandelions:

I also turned forty three.  Can't say I feel any different.
