Pulled in all directions.........

What a dreary day today is. TS Eliot in The Waste Land said that April is the cruelest month; I vote that March fills that bill as well.I shouldn't be totally negative what with daylight saving time enacted earlier this year.

My antidote has been finishing the Sargasso Sea pattern and socks. Here you can see the texture of the sock while worn.

This pic shows the sock without the crocheted edging...suitable for a more practical look.

I can now get back to Swan Lake aka MS3. I needed to do some mindless knitting so yesterday afternoon I started a Norwegian beret in cream and dark gray Suri Merino ( alpaca and merino blend) by Plymouth that I bought at RI Handspun. I'm already heading down the home stretch with the decreases. The impetus for knitting this hat is all due to Carol M :). She made two of them. She felted the hat a bit and it looks wonderful.

Sargasso turned out well. The colors flow.

There is no question that it is March. Many people hate February, breathe a sigh of relief when March gets here. Then they get another month of winter.

March is always cold, windy and depressing.

I love the crochet edging on the sock. It looks like little shells floating on the edge of the ocean.
