What's Happening?
I am so excited that it is almost spring. Daisy & Fred are excited too, because they are getting to run and walk more. I think they enjoy trips to the beach as well. I have filled my house with daisies to remind me that warm weather is nearly here ...
What's off my needles?
Nothing yet, I'm almost finished with my mom's sock #1 for Mother's Day. I am enjoying working with Knit Picks' fingering-weight Stroll yarn in the colorway Make Believe. The yarn is machine wash, tumble dry low. I am using size 2.75 mm and size 3 mm DPNs - Harmony Wood, also from Knit Picks.

Knitting News
I just found out about a lovely knitting book recommended on the Knitmore Girls' podcast - Rebecca Danger's The Big Book of Knitted Monsters: Mischievous, Lovable Toys. As soon as I have the proper yarn and needles I look forward to knitting these adorable monsters. How about knitting, Gort the Gym Bag Monster to motivate and remind you it is time to exercise?
What I'm Reading
I have just completed Sharon Salzberg's book on meditation, Real Happiness: The Power of Meditation. It is 28-day program that teaches meditation in an easy to understand format. I've read quite a few books on meditation and this one really provides a step by step instruction on how to add meditation to your daily lifestyle.
