It's raining today but thankfully as yet not much wind. I have done very little in the garden because of the weather all my beds need weeding they are a mess. I'm hoping to get out there this weekend. I think your little basket is cute, how about embellishing it with flowers, but I know what you mean if something doesn't seem right when it's made I loose interest too, I have a bag which I started last year nearly done but I can see that I won't like it when it's finished so it just lies there awaiting it's fate haha, Have a great weekend. xxxlindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139295265567390855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-47970817409806756592014-05-01T04:58:43.430-04:002014-05-01T04:58:43.430-04:00We've got rain today but thankfully no wind. ...We've got rain today but thankfully no wind.

I have never experienced thunder during a snowstorm and think that would be so strange! I like your little pink basket and would like to have seen it with the cuff turned to the outside cause I think the contrast of the knit and purl stitches would look very attractive! Your red winged blackbird looks lovely, and if he sings anything like the blackbirds in Scotland then I would love to hear him too. It reminds me of a song I learned as a youngster - "If I were a blackbird I'd whistle and sing, I'd follow the ship that my true love sails in" etc., etc.. Do enjoy your road trip and I hope you find time for a visit to the park! xo JoyJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11753693250341975299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-45362763939057434302014-04-30T01:24:41.944-04:002014-04-30T01:24:41.944-04:00We had nearly the same weather over the weekend - ...We had nearly the same weather over the weekend - hard, driving rain and it got down into the 30's a couple of nights (Washington State), but today was in the 70's and it will be 80 by Thursday. Crazy weather! There was even a little tornado not too far from here as the crow flies, that took off a roof. Love your little knitted basket. Hope your road trip goes smoothly.

We seemed to get snow at the same time and now we are in line with these crazy rains! I hope the wind wasn't too hard on your trees! Loving that knitted basket Wendy!!! And I hear you about being creative...I go through spurts and really admire those folks who can sustain it everyday! I hope that you have a nice road trip even if you aren't completely looking forward to it...you never know...it may just surprise you pal! Wishing you a good week and hopefully you can get out soon to garden...it is all a bit soaked here!
