Back to normal...

almost?! (as normal as we can be)

We have been busy moving into our house and we finally feel like we've gotten a lot done and can take a break. The stuff is out of storage and sitting in our garage. All the stuff is out of the RV. We got the bed put together, we have a couch to sit on, and I went grocery shopping so we now have food to cook.

Yes, I do remember how to cook!! For our first meal, I made grilled cheese and tomato soup. (hey! what can I say, we like it) It was my first time cooking on a glass, flat top electric stove. It works well. I'll just have to remember how to cook on an electric stove because we've had a gas stove for many years.

And, I did get a little knitting done in between lining shelves and putting stuff away.

I finished the right sock for the Sockdown! Mar kal, Blackrose. And I started the left sock. I think I have a good chance of finishing these socks before the end of April.

I have so much going on I will probably will skip Sockdown! Apr. (but you never know...)

I almost forgot to start my scarf for the OT: FGF Insanity queue-a-long. We have until the end of Mar to start something from our ravelry queue. I have been trying to find the right pattern for this sumptuous yarn and may have found it ...

Old Shale Scarf by Tiennie. I am using a superwash merino and bamboo blend from Gaia's Colours. The yarn has a nice sheen to it and a lush feel; it is wonderful to knit with it. I am using the same yarn, different color, for my Blackrose socks.

About the Baby Surprise Jacket...

I have all the knitting done. Now I just have to sew the shoulder seams and add the buttons. The sweater is a little big for a newborn (Braiden, born Mar 27th) but I think I'll give it to him anyway. He can wear it next fall.

Now that I've made this surprise jacket, I may have to try one for an adult. BUT, that is way in the future. I have some other projects to get done first!
