But I feel guilty complaining. Just looking at the terrible situation in Australia makes me feel glad I'm cold.
The cake this week is, well see if you can guess...
Porsche. Did you get it right? And the recipient chose the colour. Anyone ever seen a Porsche this colour?
Knitting news is almost non-existent. The next lot of Mystery Blanket squares have arrived - one is done but the other 4 are still not even on the needles. I am hoping that half term will bring more time to knit. I am also beginning to feel that I really want to make a pair of socks. This does not often happen. I love sock yarn and have plenty of it. I love sock books and have plenty of them. I even have some waiting on my Ravelry queue. But I don't actually like knitting socks. For something so small, they seem to take a very long time. Usually in the region of months. Please, Sussex Yorkie, send me some of your Fast Knitting Sock vibes.And I suppose I really ought to get on with my second mitten before summer starts. Oh yeah, ha ha, bloody ha.

Toe up there Missus (hahahaha! Sock knitting joke ;-)
Strangely enough I have actually re-started my third sock this evening! Don't know how long I'll keep going though as I am definitely out of the habit of playing with such thin needles!
Fab cake by the way!

I know what you mean about socks taking ages. I think if you knit while commuting they are good, but otherwise they seem to go on for ever.
Like the snow, which is also going on forever.
Vibes coming through now, I have been slightly distracted by a blanket this week. Mittens, well I have the kit. You seem to have been pretty busy to me, knitting or not. Could say chill but that might make you curse! x
See...now you've done it....I'm going to have to pick my neglected sock knitting up again. Maybe we should have a knit-along to get them done!!
That cake is incredible! You are very clever y'know :-)
I'd quite like spring to start now too.

I'm in Toronto and we have spent months shovelling the snow off the sidewalk into huge piles in the front yard. Now it is pouring rain, so we have giant puddles -- the road drains are sometimes clogged with last fall's leaves under ice. Let's all register a complaint about this season!
Yep, me too. Fed up that is. Not wanting to knit a sock. It's quite greedy of Locket to be doing 3 don't you think? Most of us only need 2.
We still have compacted ice on the ground. Floods everywhere. It's pants isn't it? Utter pants.

I'm with you on socks. I love sock yarns, but find knitting them slow going.
One of these days I'll try the magic loop, see if that is better than all those little dpns.
Oh and I've only just started my February blanket squares - as it is half term I have time to concentrate.
