April already, WOW!
Soon the garden work will begin and only light weight knitting can be done on back porch, hot sun and wool yarn-no no no, not for me. I have finished 3 sweaters since Jan.1 thus far this year. Two were started in 2019. I would love to be one of those prolific knitters, but I get side tract all the time with new cast ons and fun yarn. I guess I have difficulty staying focused on just one project.
The sweater in this post is Humulus and a fantastic knit. I really made this for my youngest but when I had Caitlin try it on, I realized it would need about 4 more inches to fit Erin properly. So, Caitlin loves it and with her, it will stay. I get to knit Humulus again! I do not mind knitting the same pattern twice or even more if it's a good pattern and Isabel Kraemer's patterns are always good.
I joined the National Rug Hooking Association. I have always been intriqued with rug making and I'm going to try this art form again- now that I have time. Oh, and I have a pile, (several piles) of wool to use up!
Books that have been read since last month's Yarn Along:
Whistling Past the Graveyard
this book is a very good, a story of friendship between a white girl and a black woman during the 60's in the deep south-nough said!
The Patch Work Bride
I have read all of Sandra Dallas books, this one not so good. The story was interesting, but the ending a total flop!
A Seat By the Hearth
A mindless read with a feel good ending.
Mending Matters
A great reference book with some wonderful ideas.
Trying to stay home and cook more for meals. I think I'm a better cook than most meals we get at resturants and I can make meals for much less money. Homemade pizza that Eric and I both enjoyed, with "whatever" salad. It is time for me to start experimenting with salad dressing recipes this spring, I plan to grow all different kinds of lettuce.
I'm still having trouble with creepy people looking at my blog site. Wish I could block them! Any ideas?

Well done with the finished projects this year. I think your jumper found the perfect person to wear it. Really looks good. I feel the same about going out to eat and preferring my own cooking. At least it keeps the cost down!
Gorgeous sweater! I love the colors you used. Isabell Kraemer does a great job with her patterns--I have five of her designs in my queue. Now to find the time to knit them all...
I love that sweater! So pretty! (And good on you for finishing three this year already!) Rug hooking is so interesting to me, but I need another fiber craft like I need a hole in the head. (ha!) Such pretty spring pictures too!
Beautiful sweater and those quilts are amazing!! Lovely Spring flowers. In here the Winter was too long!
