I found another good knitting quote,

Really, all you need to become a good knitter are wool, needles, hands, and a slightly below-average intelligence. Of course, superior intelligence, such as yours and mine, is an advantage.

-Elizabeth Zimmerman (Knitter's Almanac) as quoted by Ann Hood in The Knitting Circle. (I like the part about the superior intelligence.)

The other day I was missing pussy willows and crocuses (croci?) that I usually see down home in April. I went for a run and out on the ridge I found a whole herd bunch of crocuses (croci).

It was a beautiful sight.

Knitting wise, I have been making more MDK dishcloths

and I am almost finished the bubble gum dress.

I finished the purple poncho, but it does not get worn by the intended. What I could not knit fast enough, she now will not wear.

Never knit for a 2 year old. They are too fickle.
