I just can't use it for socks. Mine might become a baby sweater for the newest grand-veggie!

And the stripes are perfect! <BR/><BR/>Dinner sounded wonderful. I must hie me to the farmer's market this weekend; we've been a bit short on the cooking lately, with our own dose of mid-quarter craziness. I hope your work madness gets a little more manageable...the mid-quarter crunch always hurts!EGunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941668303286640744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-42717200071958986792008-02-14T19:52:00.000-08:002008-02-14T19:52:00.000-08:00The socks are beautiful and the springtime feast s...The socks are beautiful and the springtime feast sounds WONDERFUL. We'll have one just like it - in about 3 months, when spring will finally come to Minneapolis. At least the lamb is already in the freezer (from a friend's farm), but we won't be seeing any fresh vegetables for a long time. Of course, we won't be seeing any mudslides, either, so I should be satisfied with what I have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-64897635973255756732008-02-14T15:30:00.000-08:002008-02-14T15:30:00.000-08:00The socks really are cute!

Personally, your pics always make me homesick - I grew up in Arizona and your tile just makes me want to be there again. [le sigh]<BR/>I'd like to echo PhD Knitter's comment about the email. It haunts me. I don't even want to think about the fact that I've been pretending my phone isn't ringing for at least 48 hours.
