Rena also sent me ... http://jujuknits.com/?p=174 I have had a really great month. It flew by so quick! Since my last post at the beginning of the month, I had my Pathology final, the kids were all on their spring break, I had a huge yard sale, and early Easter. Whew! What a month. First off, ... http://jujuknits.com/?p=167 I can't believe it snowed yesterday. It's been crazy weather here. We had snow last week, then a balmy lovely weekend, then snow again. Hmmm. I wonder if Mother Nature is miffed with us. Needless to say, I hope it is over and we can get back to warmer weather. ... http://jujuknits.com/?p=166 It's been a prolific week! I have been knitting socks like crazy-can you say manic??? I knit socks when I am really busy probably because they are easy to transport and pick up and knit anywhere.

They are seriously cute, and I have ... http://jujuknits.com/?p=145 What to knit, what to knit...I really don't need more wool socks. I only have, at best,2 months to wear warm socks here. So, I decided to knit up the Garter Stitch Loop-Through Scarf from 101.Hmmm...well, I love the Happy Feet Sock yarn-and it also knits and feels just like ... http://jujuknits.com/?p=134 Friday was a good day. I ventured into a yarn shop for the first time in 5 months. I know, I know! You are down right stunned that any real knitter could actually stay away from all that fiber goodness for that long. Not only did I stay away for ... http://jujuknits.com/?p=127 It's time for a fresh start. Let's face it, I had two options: 1.) I could delete myself/my blog completely from the knitty world; or 2.)
