In the last few days.......
A glimpse at Weathertop Farm in the last few days:
I'm enjoying look at other people pictures of sunshine and new green growth, because in the last few days here it did this - TWICE:
I'm not one of these people that hate winter and count the days down till spring, but even I am getting weary of this winter. We've gotten literally twice as much snow as usual!
I finished this in the last few days:
The Center Square hat (pattern from Knitty) , done in double-stranded, worsted weight wool on size 11 needles. The hat was intended for farmer husband, and I thought it would be perfect because so many people on Ravelry mentioned that this hat turned out big....and farmer husband has a pretty big head - so does oldest boy. Once the hat was finished though, it didn't fit either one of them, but youngest boy was quick to claim it. (it fits me fine too, I guess I just have a big-headed family!)
In the last few days, we've begun keeping a closer one on these girls - several of our very pregnant goats! Won't be too long now!
I'm not getting much knitting done because the last few days I've been helping out with farm tax stuff-ugh! Definitely not my favorite thing, but at least I can drink some coffee and listen to my ipod while doing it.
And in the last few days, I couldn't resist casting on for a pair of Monkey socks out of my new Loopy Legends yarn - Ferns & Toadstools colorway.
Have a great weekend!

I like the snow picture.
We are expecting some tomorrow, but today it is about 70 degrees. I love it!
Your poor mama goats look ready to have their babes. You will have all kinds of kids soon!

Those are some super pregnant goats!! I'm sick of this weather too. I'd like a blizzard that shuts everything down for a few days and then no more snow!

The hat turned out fabulously, and looks great on lucky youngest son! I love monkey socks btw, and even though I'm not a sock knitter I've thought about knitting some monkey's!

I hope you get a break from the snow soon. The yarn you are using for your Monkey socks is working up nicely!

Oh. Be still my heart! You mean we'll have baby goats to look forward too??? Yipeeee!!!! Your monkey sock looks great. I was really hating that pattern, but I think now, with the second sock, I'm starting to finally get in the groove. Hope so, 'cause they sure are pretty.
