March Gifted Gorgeousness

A day (or five) late and a dollar short as usual...

Thank you all for the kind comments on my snuggly socks and skipping fairy. =) jocondine asked how many pairs of socks I have knit...I was shocked when I went to Ravelry and counted 16 finished pairs!!! =O There is another pair on the needles right now that just needs the toe done. Two of the pairs are no more (the first ones I ever knit were the ones that fell apart recently, and another pair felted when I washed them and the cuff was just too tight...they were toe-up and that is when I learned about Jeny's Suprisingly Stretchy Bind Off. So click on that link and there's your first Gorgeous Gift of the post...the gift of knowledge. ;) How's that for a shoehorn, Jo??)

Speaking of the gift of knowledge, I have signed up with the Shining Needle Society for a new class from Kathy Rees of Needle Delights. My kit arrived this week, and I kind of want to roll around in the colors, they are so pretty!!

I do actually have something stitched to show...a freebie pattern (gift from the designer!) that you are probably all already familiar with...

I've loved all the Snowflower Diaries Joyful World series so far, but I was avoiding starting them because I have so many WIPs. Then she finally roped me in by having a squirrel in the April design! I thought if I could stitch just five 10x10 chart blocks a day, I would have it done by April. But as you can see, a week later, I am very far behind! Oh, well, perhaps if I just finish it sometime *in* April....
