Erin Go Bragh!
March 18, 2008
I hope everyone had a great St. Patty’s Day. I went to breakfast with some of my Irish family, which was very nice. It is so rare I eat anything other than cereal for breakfast. I ordered French Toast (LOVE) and it was extra delicious.
Then I made some Irish Soda bread to eat with our yummy corn beef.
I finished my Lime Slushy Embossed Leaves socks. They sham-rock! The extra purl stitch was most definitely needed.
The socks are snug but not too tight. If I ever knit this pattern again, I’m making the cuff at least one repeat longer.
I cast on some Fleece Artist merino in the Parrot colorway last night. It’s very spring. I only got three rounds done last night. So far I like what I see. It reminds me of Yarn Pirate’s Rosie without the white.
Thanks to everyone who guessed correctly on the contest (and thanks to Erin for the giggle). The random winner was number three - Wannabe! Congrats. I’ll be contacting you via email soon.
Can you believe Easter is this weekend? I went a little crazy making Easter cards last weekend.

I’m finishing up my first pair of Embossed Leaves tonight. I made them on 1.5 instead of my usual size 0 or 1’s and that took care of the tightness. I love yours. SOOOO pretty. I did mine in green too using DIC Smooshy in Happy Forest.
That card is sooo cute!
Thanks so much! I’m so excited that I won the contest!!!

Your socks are gorgeous.
I received my yarn today (in case you didn’t know, I’m the same person that special ordered the “Blushing Bride”). It’s extra beautiful. And thank you for the cards and the candy! Yay!
