Is it true? Could it be possible? Am I really post five (5) days in a row?! I think the last time that happened was 2 or 3 years ago ;) Don’t worry, I doubt I can keep it up very long.
It is soooo gorgeous outside that I just can’t stand being inside. I might have brought lunch but I’m definitely going to go out for a leeetle walk this afternoon. Too nice not to. And I, again, wore a skirt today! I dress so much better during warmer weather 
Anyway, lunch with Nancy yesterday was fun as always. We dined at the Heartland Brewery at South Street. Sadly, they had no free tables outside in the sunny area and it was just a tad chilly in the shade so we ate inside. Food was good. Can’t beat good food and great friends!
Work on the Shaped V-Neck is progressing. At the SnB last night I started/completed the ties. Yes, there are some ends that need to be worked in, but not as much as could be there. I love the spit-join method. I’ve started the first sleeve and am progressing through the decreases in it. (And yes, that is the front seat of my car - I got to the station early this morning
I have to admit, the pattern, while beautiful and which will result in a much beloved sweater, has some annoyances. Like in the sleeve for instance. It is inconsistently written. With regards to decreases/increases especially, some places there is an actual number of times to do that combination (repeat 6 times) which are then followed by a remainder stitch count variety (repeat until 46 remain). It is an insurmountable problem? No. I can count pretty well. I’m better a calculus than simple math, but I can still count. I’m going to count the repeats that are necessary and make note of it so the next go’round on this pattern is a little less annoying.
This weekend proves to be a busy one. Tomorrow is a gathering at Jessica’s of a bunch of fiber folk which shall be fun, followed by the first Seder. It is MATZAH time! weeeee. Happy Passover to the observers. Have a great weekend to everyone.
Craft on!

So glad you’re back to blogging regularly! And of course I missed the nice weather in NJ/ NY when I was there! Darn it!

Your sweater is looking great. I bet that color is fabulous on you.
Re a previous post … we have full day K here at the elementary school and it’s fine for the kids. Even those who’ve never had a full day adjust quickly. They get their own playground and a different lunch time, so they still give them that layer of separation. The school district just north of here still does the 1/2 day K and the moms I know are so jealous.
Enjoy your holiday!

Saturday was gorgeous weather too. I’ll bet you were able to spin outside at Jessica’s. I remember the sleeve decrease portion. It was a bit annoying but it turns out well in the end.
