been a long time...

ok. i know.. its been awhile - i keep thinking i have to make these gorgeous entries like wendy over at http://wendyknits.net/ so ive not been doing it and work has been crazy and ... well, its been a rough winter.

but its SPRING finally and i have new contacts (and new *expensive* glasses) and new cats - a mother and her baby - Cordelia and Katie - and well, things seem to be better in the spring no matter how bad your dayjob is. ;o

this week, to take care of my duties as gardener, i ordered a ton of rose food and need to order mulch and bulbs. the clematis is growing like a weed and the roses are all leafing out and growing like mad - i gave them old very DRASTIC pruning - march 15th and they are responding like crazy. if this new rose food is as good as it purports i should have roses galore this summer! fingers crossed.

over on wendyknits- she is speaking of commuter knitting - so here's my story for the day - as i got a RARE seat on the # 4 this morning, i pulled out my knitting - the first three inches of a baby aran blanket for my latest nephew. its on 20" circs and is a LOT of stitches.

SO a woman sits down to the left of me and looks at my knitting and says - oh is that a hat? (for a giant maybe!) but i was nice and explained it was a baby blanket.. that was however the extent of her interest which was fine as i wanted to concentrate on the cables as it was the first setup row.

i am in awe of wendy - the poncho she is making looks so lovely - but i wonder how it will be on a slightly zaftig person? maybe i could make them for my sisters' bdays this year - i have four! and its always hard to figure out what to get/make for them.

i have been getting home way too late this week and really miss knitting - i wanted to stay on the train this morning and knit all the way til the end of the line. but saturday is the final Texaco Sponsored Metropolitan Opera broadcast and its GOTTERDAMERUNG - the final opera in Wagner's RING Cycle... so i plan to sit and knit for all 6 hours.. should be able to get a lot done... and of course the cats will be thrilled that i will be home. Cordelia has been attacking my leg each morning this week as i am getting dressed - i had two concerts, an opera and i stayed late at the office on wed.. whew, i am looking forward to Britcoms and knitting tonight!

so to bring a little fun to this post - here's a photo of my nephew - who will be moving to the NY area in july!
