What? My Year of Socks????/

 My resale shop find of yesterday was this floral bowl. 

I wanted something SPRING not necessarily Easter.

I didn't go looking for this bowl, but when I saw it...well...you know.

 Da Bird was purchased to get the cats playing hard after Rozzy's death.  We have had them before.  Miss Pie is completely obsessed with Da Bird.  She will stand before the mantle where it sleeps and howl at me to play with it. 

Tank must love the sound of the feathers in the air because he comes too, from one of his beloved sleeping perches, to play. 

I let her carry it around the house a bit after she catches it. 

Thats an adorable sight. 

Thanks to startitis this time of year, I have 3 pair of socks on my needles.  One heavy wool, one very fine malabrigo and, finally, this gold and green self striper. 

This is is my favorite type of sock yarn. 

Ambiente by Schoppelwolle. 

The tag says to use size 3 needles. 

The yarn has some SPRING to it....perfect. 

This may just be my Year of Socks. 

Just enough complexity to keep me fascinated,

enough sock yarn in the world to keep me buying and

just the right weight for my hands/wrists. 

I know you are laughing. 

Ha!  How long can she go after the magnificent year of the Trap? 

Well, let's just see.
