Breakfast in the garden
With the weather actually livable I am taking breakfast out to the deck. A nice way to enjoy my DS's garden before hitting the Internet for possible job openings.

Lunch downtown
Currently I am volunteering twice a week at HPL's central library. It is very chilly inside so I take my sack lunch outside to warm up.
I have been dining either at the small pocket courtyard by the Ivenson
or by the Sam Houston park, just across the street.

There is also a nice planting at the corner of Bagby and Lamar.
Of course when a Houston summer shower shows up at lunch time, it means just wrapping up a little tighter in my sweater.

On the needles
Currently I have 2 knitting projects in the works.
The first is a pair of socks out of Lion Brand Sock-Ease in the Sour Ball colorway. I am using the magic loop technique with square Kollage circular needles(US 1 - 2.25 mm). The cuff is a 2x2 rib and straight knitting for the body. I choose the round heel and star toe option. Unfortunately I believe I will have to finish the second sock with the Green Apple colorway. This is because the first sock grew a bit too long in the leg. I have finished the first sock but am taking a break on starting the second sock.

The second project is my warm up for the lace shawl I want to do this year. It is the Boneyard shawl by Stephen West. I am using US 6 circular needles. The yarn is Baby Bee Sweet Delight Baby in the pink Princess colorway. It is basically straight knit & purl with 4 yarn overs (YO) every other row.
So far it has been an easy project although I have messed up a few times on edges. Ah well, it now has character.

Sheet music and knitting stiches
One that really got my attention was "The Knitting Song" It is all about knitting to help soldiers in WWI.
