weeeeeeeeeee
We have Spring Fever, big time.
The handlebar mojo is blooming and the birdies are chirping! Marcel is jumping in mud puddles- sorry, no photographic evidence, unfortunately- but if you know my little hothouse flower
you know just how uncharacteristic this is! He is happy happy happy to see the parkles, and the people besides me, and the little kids eating candy at the bus stop- which he tried to scam some of but those kids are no dummies!- and plus a muddy paw beats a Salty Paw any day of the week. Believe it. And then we can play that favorite of all new games- the Growl for the Towel, when we come in. Rowr.
Ahem. So.
I took my bike out for the first time since like November. Its sad but true, I was a Bike Winter wuss this year! Oh, but its just like riding a bike, isn't it? My pony has spankin' new tires courtesy of Mr. Goddamn Sunshine, as well as shiny new grips- ribbed for her pleasure- and it was a pleasure!
To put on one's helmet and fly once again, after trudging through snow! The bank clock said 36 degrees but it may as well have been 56, because it felt balmy and soon I was sweating and taking off layers.
That is the beauty of Bike Winter. Or spring, as the case may be.
In any event, the urge to frolic is building. Can you feel it??
Some knitting stuff-
I've been working on the cable part for the Avast cardigan I am making for Mr. Goddamn Sunshine. (I've said it before and I'll say it again, Sweater Curse be damned) Its coming along- here it is in its splendor~
Thus far its just very very l o n g but this part goes around the waist. The cable pattern is pretty simple, which is nice because I've never used cables before. Its simple, but pretty, no?
Once I heard someone say that making cables was just like braiding hair, which it kind of is, except with three sticks instead of two hands.
Pretty pretty pretty.

Very nice! I bought all the yarn I needed to make Avast months ago and even started the cable but didn't get very far. Maybe you will inspire me to pick it up again. If only I could put down the socks!!
