Projects...always projects!
In knitting news: I'm slowly knitting my Clessidra knee socks, evidence of which can be found at the Clessidra Knitalong. I'm down to the ankle on this first sock now, and really...it does look better than in that pic. :P Kosher pickles, kosher pickles! Yum.
I'm also constantly scanning the world for interesting and well-priced worsted and DK yarns for some other projects I have in my mental to-do list, and maybe, just maybe, I will do Stephanie Japel's Cable-Down Raglan in some pretty chrome green yarn I frogged from a ha-YUGE thrift store sweater recently. I love the whole recycled-yarn thing, not least because I am SO a thrill-of-the-hunt type. Always have been, from my earliest childhood yard sale and flea market fun (at least as far back as 7 years old), to my graduate school research, on through a life as an antique dealer, and beyond...
In real estate news, I have a few irons in the fire -- although the people I'm working with are mostly in the "very interested but still not out of the comfy chair" stage. I also find it kind of weird that, driving around on 70 degree days, I see VERY FEW "For Sale By Owner" signs out there yet. Is it really not well known that March is when buyers begin lining up at the starting gate? (It would be one thing if there were still snow on the ground.) With all the people who wanted to sell near the end of last year and couldn't, if I were one of them I'd be all about putting that sign out there NOW.
How about one of mine?
