Citron







I finished my Exploding Socks last week, and finally felt the first urge to move on from socks for a bit. Oh, I still have a pair on the needles (Comicon Socks, just past the heel turn on both), but I plan to keep it at just one pair for awhile so that I can work on a few other things, namely a "YAY for warm weather" Citron:






This is Nerd Girl Yarns base w00t (lace weight) in the colorway Earth Death that I received as part of the Doctor Who club last summer. I love the way this is knitting up, and it's going to be an awesome summer shawl out at the ballpark in the later evenings. I'm in the middle of the second section, and I'm going to see if I can get eight sections out of the yardage I have.






For reading I'm finishing Shirt of Flame by Heather King and I've just begun Celebration of Discipline by Richard Foster. I first read Celebration of Discipline back in high school as part of one of my classes my senior year. It is quite a different read 15 years, 1 marriage and 3 kids later. I'm reading it slowly in the mornings and writing later in the day on it as time allows.



{If you are a spinner, would you be interested in coming back to this space on Fridays for a link up? Similar to this one, it's a "post whatever you are spinning" type of share. I hope to see you and your beautiful spinning on Friday!}

  6. The colors are definitely YAY for spring!!! I can't wait to see how it turns out-- best of luck with the Citron pattern- all those rows can get tedious (mine took me forever to make!!!)
