I hope you’ve enjoyed your holidays in the best way possible. If nothing else, I hope you spent a relaxed few days doing something you enjoyed. It has been such an odd time. My sense of days has been all mixed up. Friday felt like Saturday, Saturday like Sunday and Sunday morning was, I’m not sure. I had Monday chores on my mind but I felt like I was beginning the weekend all over again. Even the weather was confusing. It snowed, I shoveled, then it rained for 24 hrs and absolutely everything melted. The frozen pond had icy waves blowing across it. The temps dropped, it snowed again, and winter may have returned.
Thursday evening I cast on stitches for a little knitted bird. Friday, I did another. Saturday, I knit a blue one. Sunday a pale turquoise bird began to take shape. They are great fun and very fast to knit. I’ve gathered some small branches that blew down from my big old yellow birch for them to hang from when a Christmas tree won’t do any longer. The pattern calls for dk or worsted weight yarn. Just scraps. Curiously, I don’t have much in that weight. I may have to spin some up to feed my current obsession.
This week will be full of end of year paperwork and finishing projects that I don’t want to carry into a new year. And, there will be more birds.
