The Snow was my Fault

 

She's just a decorative leaf shawl, but I think Mother Nature thought she should send snow when she saw me.   Some of you know I've made this scarf quite a few times before.  The pattern is Spud & Chloe  Leaf :a scarf or a bookmark.  Mine have had to be wetted and blocked or the leaves don't pop out at you.  If you roll it and puff the leaf up just witth your fingers, the design is more leafish.  This will be a decorative scarf, not meant to be tied, just big enough to wear with a shirt and put around the back of your neck.  

The sun has come back. FIckle doesn't cover it. When it is out, I am definitely inspired by Spring . Signs of Spring in Wisconsin:  warblers come through, Walmart put their kayaks outside for sale, the golf course IS open for play , the sun stays out longer, Orion begins to leave the night sky, and jelly beans are a staple here.  Oh and the piers are going in on Lake Geneva.  

We do a family and friends NCAA pool yearly.  I've had good years, and then ones like this year. Out of it early.  But it makes all those games fun to watch.  Now comes, the previously dreaded week of the Masters.  

We are doing a pool for the Masters and that will help my attitude.  I've gotten better at watching golf, and sometimes simultaneously listening to podcasts.   

Today I am casting on for a shawl that I am building from other parts of other shawls.  The bind off will be its main feature, so the body can be super simple.  

Did I tell you that I'm stepping down as moderator of the On This Leg sock initiativve?  We sent a large collection to them.  There was another moderator and she was putting all kinds of fun contests together to get more socks.  The needs of our Amputee Group here in Wisconsin have been met.  I never considered this long term.  But tthe other moderator wants to keep up and donate socks to another amputee group.  She will be just fine on her own.  I've been too  busy to really keep the group organized and their questions answered, but Gigi, is terrific at it.  I saw on her profile she had lead a Christain group for 10 years, so she must be a natural leader .  I'm much better at stepping down at this time in my life.  Therre is always someone, just dying to take over.  We met our goals.  

Have you stepped down from anything lately/
