Today was a beautiful spring like day in Boston, but now the clouds are rolling in & the rain is about to start.

We’ll you continue to add photos that have been submitted for the 1st qtr Clapotis challenge? I submitted some a few days ago & I don’t see my Clapotis in the photo gallery yet. It’s surprising that for how many people participated in the unofficial Ravelry TLE Clapotis challenge that there are so few Claps listed on TLE site.

Maybe your husband knows that Zoe wants to mother the ducks:-)!

Today is bright and sunny, but I haven’t been outside since this morning at oh-dark hundred, so I can’t confirm that it is as nice as it looks. I’m hoping that the nice weather lasts through the weekend, because it would be so nice to go walking without a jacket and a sweat shirt.

It’s gorgeous here, too, in Southern California. But then it’s mostly always gorgeous here. That Summer Sliding pattern looks really, really hard — like beyond challenge and into impossible. So I look forward to seeing your. We have to do both socks, right? ; )

I have narrowed down yarn and pattern choices several times now, only to see them expand again when I visit your shop. Cookie A’s patterns are all viable possibilities. I think I will have to wait till Wendy’s book comes out before making a final decision. Give Mr. and Mrs. Mallard my best. Soon you are probably going to have a whole line of little mallards, and then you will really want to mother them!

Gorgeous here today! Sunny, blue sky, and going up around 50, which is balmy in Chicago. My cat, Paddy, watches the birds in my yard just like Gracie does. And Salty, the dog, REALLY REALLY wants to bring his Grandma home a duck. He tries every morning, but I’m a serious party pooper and won’t let him. I think the ducks appreciate that.

I’ve picked the yarn for the Second Quarter Challenge, too. Cascade Heritage Sock. Now to pick the pattern. Narrowing it down, and with some help from BFF Liz, should have something picked by Fling. (Assuming my head doesn’t explode from the excitement before it comes time to leave for it.)

It’s a BEAUTIFUL day here in Michigan today. The sun is shining and we have a totally blue sky, but in the low 50′s today. My crocus is blooming and spring is here, finally! My husband drove across state yesterday and ran into snow on the ground, on the east side of the state. Thankfully, it missed West Michigan! Happy Easter, Sheri! Blessings!!

It’s still March here in Maine. Sunny, but windy and cold (low 40′s?). The crocuses are refusing to open.

Today it is going to be beautiful here. About 70ish with a slight breeze. Yesterday it was still a bit cool, but today is going to be lovely.

I can just hope to aspire to do such a pattern as the one you have picked. OMGosh! Maybe, someday! Great yarn choice also.

There are many beautiful Clapotis to choose from. It was soooo hard to decide, but I have emailed my decision.

Too funny that WH told you the ducks don’t need mothering—is he concerned that the bathtub might be converted into a duck pond? That is indeed a beautiful sock pattern that you picked out. I’m still deciding on mine. As for the yarn, don’t tell me. When I woke up and went to check on the sneak up, only one color of The Usual was left! You ARE getting some more, right? Please?
