Cupid, draw back your bow and let your arrow flow straight to my lover’s heart for me! For meee!
(I love that song! I mean does it not make you think of Innerspace?)
I’m beyond delighted that the snow/slush/ice has caused a day off. Reason #2394 why I love my day job. As I suspected I will be spending my day cozed up on the couch, knitting a bit and preparing the menu for my special dinner for tonight. We’re talking steak and potatoes tonight – a good yummy favorite. Last night I had such a great time at my knit group. There were 4 new people that joined us and I couldn’t be more delighted. Again, knitting has proven not just to be a really wonderful creative hobby but a great connector. I am looking forward to next Tuesday!
And although Project Spectrum is in the blue, grey and white months – today is devoted to the reds… and how I do love the reds.
This I’m hoping to create finally my own "Cranberry" Beret. I’m using Ann Budd’s Handy Book of Patterns as a guide and have already gotten past the 1×1 ribbing. It looks kinda small to me now but we’ll see when I have a bit more done.
Also in my battle with the Second Sock Syndrome, my monkey has returned…
See that pile of STR in the backgound? I am really hoping and a wishin’ it’s going to be enough for sock #2. I have been doing the scienfitic method of holding both the working sock and the ball of yarn in seperate hands and shaking them a bit to see if I think they feel the same. This is a time where it would be really truly advantageous of me to get one of those mesauring thingys. I’ll just be hopeful!
I wish everyone a nice comfy and warm V-Day!
You’ll have enough – Prove It All Night, right? Dude. A yarn with a kick ass name like that will NOT run out.

Red holds a special place for me too 🙂 There is no PS rule that says you can’t enjoy other colors at the same time!

Love reading your blog! Just wanted to mention, in my pursuit of the “perfect” beret pattern for myself, I came upon a comment in Grumperina’s blog about Ann Budd’s beret pattern you may want to check out.
