Spring spring spriiing - Tavaaaasz :)

I think the daffodils were up already last week but i only realized that i'm seeing actual flowers growing from the ground and not potted ones in a store on monday. Actually, first i just realized that the bushes i thought are constantly leaf-less are now covered in yellow flowers. That happens when you move into a new place at december, when spring comes, the flowers and blossoms look twice as new.
I wish i'd taken some pictures of the bushes - i love them, in hungarian they're called golden-rains, dont know they english names... But my mobile's camera is broken, plus even tho the plants knew its spring, the weather did a great effort during all week to try and convince everybody that it's still winter, with all its greyness, mist, fog, rain, clouds and more rain. Well fortunately Mr.Winter gave up - or somebody paid him a pint yesterday evening and just turned into better mood - and we woke to a lovely sunshine this morning.
Spring brings some less lovely thing too unfortunately even for the lucky ones like me who have no allergies at all, like flu and colds. P started work this week and of course he's starting to have man-flu or at least he's trying to convince me that he has. I bet i'm feeling worse this morning then him tho, headache and tiredness. Sunshine helps a lot luckily :)

Now on to cleaning and tidying and maybe some knitting (clue 4 is out - not sure i have the concetration tho...)

Crafts & Crufts

I'm working on a simple cardigan while waiting for the next clue on the "In Dreams" shawl. Top-down, made in one piece, using Patons merino yarn. I think i'm becoming a merino addict :)
I wanted something simple and un-mess-up-able after the Central Park Hoodie, and i got what i wanted. It also became boooring after a couple days, so i've looked around what else could i do, and decided on this hardanger bookmark i got with my secret pal package. It's a kit, meaning that even a needle was included, so i didnt had the problem i often face of missing an important part or tool or have to measure out something. I actually finished the stitching in half a day, after i've got used to the different lenght of the stitches (being a cross-stitcher thats something i wasnt used to) it wasn't complicated. The good thing in embroidery is that it makes my left hand hurt - holding the fabric - as opposed to knitting where my right hand is the one that hurts - holding the needle - so even if i have a sore hand i can switch to the other craft.
P's x-box gave it up so he started to get really bored, but luckily this was his last lazy week as he starts at his new job tomorrow. I had two days off so i'm at the end of a four-day weekend, spent with lot of lazying around and watching telly. Documentaries in aboundance aand a dog-show :) It's a shame its only two hours each day, i could've watched them dogs all day. Finals coming up today :)

Wednesday - Szerda

Huhh so long since i posted anything... usually i spend the evenings knitting so i dont kill anyone :P Two more weeks before P starts at his new place and three before he gets any money. Usually i dont mind how much (or usually, how less) money i have except when it goes really bad for really long, like now. I dont even mind watching fisihing programmes and Top gearon the telly anymore as long as im left to knit in peace :P
So in the last two weeks i made 7 squares for the bedcover, finished 2 clues in a mystery shawl and washed the dishes about five times. Thats it. Spring is better to come quickly.
