Today we are experiencing a brief glimpse of lamb, you know, “In like a lion, out like a lamb.” Monday, the Vernal Equinox, was 48 F and had at least two bouts of hail. Today, it is 65 F and blue skied. Tomorrow, it is supposed to start raining again.

I always like the idea that March came in like a lion and went prancing out like a lamb. But, I’m probably biased because my birthday is on the 29th, which means the lamb usually comes around in time for birthday fun. This year I’m beginning to wonder. Thankfully, all planned birthday festivities are at indoor venues — spa visit (hot tub/sauna then massage) and dinner at a fancy local French restaurant.

On the knitting front, the baby blanket goes apace. Now that I have gotten beyond the section of yarn that had been ripped out of the previous design, the splitting that was making me question my sanity has quieted down.

I need to try on what I have done so far on my Dublin Bay socks. I’m beginning to wonder if I’m avoiding it because I’m afraid they may be a bit too tight and I don’t want to contemplate the amount of time I’ve spent on them so far.

My STR Sock Club package arrived on Monday and The Husband allowed me to open it (membership is my birthday present this year). He was considering making me wait until next Wednesday to open it, but I convinced him that I already sort of knew what was in it since others around the Web had posted is contents. I may need to pick up needles to get started on the socks (I’m finding I prefer slick metal needles for small gauge socks that call for needle sizes 1 and below… 2 and up either metal or wood/bamboo is fine). I think I’m going to follow the instructions for feathering as I really like the way this colorway looks feathered rathered than striped.

And I am trying to forget I have a pretty lace shawl on the needles so that I can get the baby blanket done before the shower.
