not much to catch up on
i have been feeling 100% for about a week now and am very thankful for it. the knitting has just started back up so i have little to show but let's catch up on a few things.
madrona.
really only went to shop. :) spent my money in 2 places
the plucky knitter
and blue moon
there were a few more skeins than i show here, but you'll probably see them pop up on my blog shortly.
it was fun. i got to meet sarah aka the plucky knitter briefly. she was so sweet. i had a really hard time deciding on which yarn i wanted of hers. i think i bought 4 skeins total. the lace weight in the pic above is currently on the needles and i'll be showing a progress pic soon. all of her base yarns are so fabulous!
a few days after madrona i flew to wisconsin for work. it was SO cold and there was SO much snow. that is all i have to say about that except i am pretty sure that my lovely flu was acquired on the flight.
the next couple weeks were spent sleeping on either my couch with this little one
or in my bed. with a few trips to the fridge to fuel up on some orange juice.
speaking of kit kats. remember how i blogged about cooper taking (stealing) my yarn and wrapping it around the toilet a bazillion times? now it happens all over the house. this is a bad shot but you can see his little yarn adventure below my dining table.
it is something to watch. he goes around and around.
ok, going to sign off for now. i'll leave you with what little baking i have done recently. this is my version of my grandma's polish babka. every easter we would get a babka baked in a can in our easter baskets. complete with white powdered sugar frosting and rainbow sprinkles. i didn't like babka much back then. now that my grandma is gone i find that i enjoy it because it reminds me so much of her and the tastes of my childhood.

I love the yarn you bought, those are the two places I would have shopped! Feel better.
What a fabulous way to remember your grandma. So sweet! I love your cat's habit. I wish that my cats would even blink at yarn. They so don't care. They would rather chase everything else in the house (don't even say "birdy" near Paddy - she'll not stop running around trying to find one for days!).
The yarn you accrued is so lovely! I am very much into green right now too since Spring is begging to be worn.
I also hope that you feel much better! It sounds like you do. It's hard being sick when you're traveling, isn't it? Glad that you're back to being "you" again. :)
What a beautiful way to remember your grandmother - and what a beautiful babka!
Your cat looks like the perfect couch companion. :)
I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better. What lovely new yarn!
Glad that you're feeling better. I had a headache until I saw all of your beautiful yarn. Who needs aspirin when you've got all that yummy-ness.

Babka? I've never heard of that. Must google.
Awww. Thanks! It was so great to meet you too. I am soooo coming back. We will knit together, and Naomi and Ellen.....
