Anybody out there?

Ok so there was a final March post and then nothing - well - let's see what happened - I was in Florida where typically I don't do alot of knitting so there's not much to show from that trip. I read book after book while I'm there - nothing like sitting in the sun with a good book. I'm currently working on Summit in Malabrigo Sock Caribeano for the Knitter's Frolic. And I'm working on the Kidsilk Haze scarf that I picked up in Florida - an easy knit in the round stocking stitch. Oh and there's been some spinning - the new wheels arrived and I love the Schacht Matchless - I've done a really nice single in Tanis Lemongrass roving. Laura Chau was here yesterday and will be back next Sunday for Spinning - it was awesome!

I've decided that Canada Customs may be secretly harboring knitters - my Madelinetosh order - 3 boxes - has been in customs in Mississauga since April 11 - it was released to the post office today so it definitely, definitely should be here this week. However, I'm worried that it may arrive all knitted up - I mean, seriously, what else could they have been doing with it for 7 flippin' days! Canada Post says Sweet Georgia is coming today but I can't be sure because they also said it was coming on Friday.

Still not smoking - 3.5 mos now - getting better but I'm getting bigger. Just spent the morning cutting up celery, cucumbers and washing lettuce - that ought to help!

Pictures soon I promise!
