HELLO OUT THERE!!

Even though I just posted a sock pattern on March Sweater Madness (see sidebar for link) that I want to make in a really "must have" kind of way, here is another one. Soooo lovely and doesn't even look all that difficult. Hee hee hee.

And I really do need more socks, especially pretty ones.

Hold that thought! There may be another pattern that I simply MUST make...

See that? I knew it! It's a good pattern day! I could dance. No. Better yet, I could go dig out some lovely sock yarn from the stash and start knitting!!

There is a slim possibility that, knowing Mother Nature and her shifty, sneaky ways, if I get really involved in some activity indoors, the rain will pass but I will be unable to tear myself away from my socks to go work on the garden!

A quick word about Sunday's outing to the big bad city. I forgot just how much I enjoy going to the theatre. And the city is not such a bad place, on a Sunday, in small doses.

Julie Martell played Belle, and Cogsworth was performed by Jeremy Webb; both were brilliant! For those of you here in NS, Beauty and the Beast will be at Neptune until first week of July. Well-worth the drive and the price of a ticket! I wouldn't lie to you. For a relatively small theatre, Neptune put on an incredibly professional production. I will make an effort to become a regular at Neptune, that's how impressed I was.

And a bonus! As we were walking back to the vehicles, guess where I stopped in with my group?? Hint: 1547 Barrington Street. No? Anybody hear of The Loop Craft Cafe? A small shop filled with luscious yarns and good quality needles (psst: you will be hard pressed to find any acrylic), with tables and chairs in the upstairs loft. Very sweet. Go. You'll like it.

Was in the city on Tuesday for a trip with sons grade 6 class. We drove by The Loop, but the bus wouldn't stop for me to just take a quick run in and take a deep breath :(
Have you been to LK Yarns in the Hydrostone Market? Another nice shop.
Hummm ... Mary Anne likes those socks. Christmas is coming :)
