I have started and finished a little project I will show on Friday...and I've been working on the March socks because they are close to completion:
I might be able to finish them tomorrow.

Carole asks us to list our Ten Favorite TV Moms. I haven't participated in a while, but I was feeling it today; so, here goes...
1. Sophia Petrillo from The Golden Girls - She reminds me of my mom.
2. Edith Bunker from All in the Family - She is ditzy, but has a wonderful heart.
3. Shirley Partridge from The Partridge Family - She is cool and a great role model for working moms.
4. Carol Brady from The Brady Bunch - I'm so jealous that she has an Alice.
5. Meredith Grey from Grey's Anatomy - She is a good mother even though she doesn't really feel it yet.
6. Ann Romano from One Day At a Time - I like her for being a strong role model - plus, I was quite the women's libber back then.
7. Evelyn Harper from Two and a Half Men - She says the stuff to and about her boys out loud that other mothers are thinking.
8. Nora Walker from Brothers and Sisters - She's a meddler, but she allows her kids to be who they are.
9. Claire Huxtable from The Cosby Show - She is another good role model...and I admire the calm way she parents.
10. Debra Barone on Everybody Loves Raymond - She is just so fer realz.
Who do you like?

Since our last Wednesday visit, I have not even touched the cardi. Maybe, because the weather is getting nicer and I won't be wearing it anytime soon? I do need to finish it though, so it will be ready to wear when the time comes...
I have been working on the March socks:
They were much further along yesterday...until I noticed that I had not centered the pattern on the instep stitches. After I had knit the entire heel flap, picked up the gusset stitches and was on down the road a bit - I realized my mistake when there were four knit stitches together on one side and what appeared to be the garter rib pattern intact on the other.
I thought long and hard...I really did. I tried to talk myself into believing that it wasn't that noticeable and socks go into shoes; so, really - Who would know?
Well, I would know, and it was bothering me more and more. I kept knitting, but I was getting a bit more twitchy with each stitch.
Finally, I ripped out the needles and frogged all the way back to where I needed to start the heel flap. I rearranged the two stitches on each sock and started the heel flap again.
I have worked some on the April socks too:
I am working the short-row heel on the first one. I decided to make them one at a time. I haven't done that in a while, and I thought it would be kind of fun for a change...since, it would be easy to keep track of where I am and all. I like the way they are turning out so far.
So - that's me...how about you?

I finished this little cardi almost a week ago (last Saturday) - all except for sewing on the buttons:
I started the button sewing earlier today, but snapped a picture anyway for this post. I figured I'd better go ahead and show it in its not-all-the-way-finished state, or it would be another week to FO Friday...
I had one ball left after I made my Lacy Summer Top a couple of years ago. It was just enough to make the smallest size.
It looks even smaller next to the bigger one I made in January.
Well, that's all folks!

Don't faint! There's a WIP Wednesday post!!! I know!!!
But wait...there's more!!!
I only have one thing OTN right this minute.
You read that right.
I frogged the March 2013 socks (and I have finished everything else):
I love the pattern, I loooooovvvvveeeee the yarn (It's Timebomb by Gritty Knits)....but I just wasn't feeling it. I kept looking at the yarn and thinking it wanted to be a different pair of socks; so, back to the drawing board...
I haven't even decided what I want to make for the April 2013 socks, and the Sock Knitters Anonymous group is already talking about May. Oy!
So, here is what is currently OTN:
It's my spring cardi. This week, it would have come in handy...
I'd better get knitting.
