I am a fan of Cascade 220 as well. It is my "go to" worsted weight yarn. Great pick for the buttons too! I hope you have a nice Mother's Day. :-) Great job on the cardigan!

It's actually quite easy, and the results can look great too! Happy Mother's Day! I took a class on seaming years ago and it took the fear away for good.

Sometimes I try to resolve the problems of the world on my own when a quick e-mail to my hosting company at the first whiff of trouble would have saved me days of headaches. :-/ Thank you, it’s good to be back.

I thought you had just taken a long holiday. I didn't realize you were having technical trouble. Beautiful picture of the eggs in the nest! It is nice to see you back at blogging again.

Oh boy. And yesterday, due to severe back problems, I had to get the gardeners in to weed my back yard. They took one look at the "white flowers" and said "Oh no, it's even in the city".

I hope you spring break is going as planned and you are getting lots of R&R. Reading your post reminded me I have some of that Brach's candy colourway tucked away in my stash. I bought it several years ago and promptly forgot about it. Sorry you had to frog your sweater. It is such a depressing experience to rip out so much knitting (this would be the voice of experience speaking!). I am just catching up on blog reading after being away for a few days.

But lace projects are the worst. Thanks for that book recommendation; I'll have to check it out. I hadn't read much (if any) London till now. My son told me tonight that his teacher let him pick another book because White Fang was too difficult for silent reading, but I'm going to continue with it.
