Knitting, sorting, and springing-ahead

My knitting project - 20 dish cloths - is completed.  Today I actually completed the 21st dish cloth which was a "Thank You" gift for the purchaser of the 20 dish cloths. 


Having given away my top secret stash of dish cloths plus the newly knitted ones, this leaves me with zero knitted dish cloths.  Sooo today, I picked up my size 7 knitting needles and began working on new ones.  I love having knitted dish cloths on-hand for little "Thinking of You" gifts.  And I am serious when I say (and I don't mean to sound conceited) -- once you use a knitted dish cloth, you won't want to use anything else to scrub those dishes and wipe down the counters.  Seriously -- knitted dish cloths will change your life.  Trust me on this.  If you'd like to experience the life-changing bliss of using said knitted dish cloths, send me your address and I will totally knit one for you and put it in the mail.  I'm nice like that...plus I love to knit for other people.  How cool would it be if we could start a knitted dish cloth revolution!!!  You know you want to be a part of this.  :)  


Other than knitting...let's see...I'm attempting to sort through my spring/summer clothes.  This is taking me a bit longer than I had anticipated, mostly because I still have my winter clothes in the closet and on my shelf.  Weather Bug is saying we are going to have some chilly days...so I don't want to pack up all my sweaters and warmer clothing...but I am soooo ready to put on some flip-flops.  


Spring has sprung!  The snow has melted and been absorbed into the ground!  I'm fairly certain the grass is delighted with the added moisture!  I saw some buds on my lilac shrubbery -- many thanks to Alicia for the lovely birthday present many years ago.  I am looking forward to a vase-full of lilacs!  (Sigh.)  I can almost smell them.  Goodness - I could always pull the top off my Yankee Candle and get a good whiff of lilacs, but alas -- I shalln't take such drastic measures.


I suppose that's it.  Oh wait...don't forget that we lose an hour of sleep of this weekend!  I like to think of it NOT as losing an hour of sleep...but as GAINING MORE DAYLIGHT!!!

It's been awhile.

While I was in The JoAnn Fabrics store this afternoon purchasing pre-punched paper for my 2024 garden journal, I said to myself, "Self,...
