why why why?????

do those door to door christian ministers have to come to my door? i have a loooonnnggg driveway, and 2 large dogs, one of whom hates people coming to the door. its the major scramble to get the dogs inside, then have to explain that i am very happy with the religion i already have.
i guess the worse part is feeling guilty about watching the alias i taped in my pjs at 9:30 in the morning.

had lots of knitting time last weekend, no cooking of a huge easter dinner this year ;-)

just a mitten marathon. 3 pair. terri, if you are reading don't go any further.

one pair knit with vy 3 ply hebredian sea ivory to match the seaweed scarf.


and 2 pair knit with rowan scottish tweed aran in thistle to match the bronte scarves knit with rowan yorkshire tweed 4ply deep aubergine. the colors don't match perfectly, but they go well together. in real life, the color of the mittens is a rich dark purple.

another why why why ??? rowan, in your infinite wisdom, why on earth discontinue one of the only wools i can wear? must stash more yorkshire tweed.......

snapped a few photos of a nantucket lightship easter basket i made. i love the scrimshaw, it has easter eggs scrimmed around the name, and the knobs on the handle are easter eggs :-)
