Spring has come and what does a girl do when the weather makes promises of warmer days. Well, knit more socks and maybe a beret or two, I say.
Nights are longer and Nature beckons to be indulged in. We have been walking a lot these days. IU campus is wonderful in early Spring sunlight. We grab a couple of honeydew bubbleteas from Chow Bar on Indiana and cross over to walk by the observatory.
I submitted a poem to fiore, the B-town literary magazine. I need to be more involved with my town because I love it so. I write all the time but just file it away in folders to be unread by eyes. I have for the longest time wanted to make a poetry zine to sell at Boxcar Books. Maybe this will be the year? 2009 was to hold a lot of promises. 2009 was to make life more fulfilling. That is what we agreed upon.

I still have three patterns to write up, pdf, and get them ready for the world. The three troublemakers; Riphraph Mitts, Snowden, and Northwoods Lodge Mittens.
This weekend was full of lustings. I didn’t have the budget to buy but instead decided to hand crochet a beret I fell in love with at Urban Outfitters. At the moment it could easily be mistaken as a doily, I emphasize this is not a doily!
The secret to a snug fit beret (I found out) is to weave in a rounded elastic band around the bottom. The ones I saw snuggly woven were black but you could use a white as well.
