The March socks are finally somewhat cooperating.  I won't say fully because the fit is just a little off what I really like.  And they were frogged about 5-6 times.  I am not taking a picture till the second one is done.  Who knows why they are finally cooperating. 
The current traveling project is. not. a. sock.  GASP!  It is actually a shawl.  It is in a chunky blue Bernet that I forget the name off (and of course do not have the ball band for).  I am working on a crocheted prayer shawl.  The blessing is this coming Sunday.  I may need prayer.  The traveling sock is currently taking a hiatus in the overhead bin at work.  I should work on it soon -- if only to free the needles.  But, it doesn't have a due date -- think quilt completion.
The 1 kilt hose is done.  FINALLY.  My fingers are taking a break from kilt hose.  Sorry Squirm.  They're a Christmas present.  Deal with it.  The next time someone goes down or Mortal comes up, remind me to send the hose along with her.  I started thinking about my next project.  The wool finally came in for the sweater, but it is almost June.  I don't do sweaters in the summer.  And yes, before you remind me, I know the next sock shipment is coming soon.  I'm thinking of Bettie's Lace Stockings (from Spring Interweave).  Then I looked at the yarn and it only needs a little less then 400 yards for both socks.  Then I looked in my yarn basket.  Found appropriate yarn.  New problem:  my fat feet (thank you genetics).  I have to increase the gauge.  Which would normally not be a problem except that my LYS is relocating.  They are closed until June.  I need size 3 bamboo needles.  Oh fudge.
I made chili on Saturday.  I'm still missing something in the recipe.  I am happy to report that the Fiber One Apple muffin mix is quite good.  I used my silicone muffin top pans and baked them for about 15 minutes.  I'm planning to make a spinach pate for the choir picnic in June.  Yes, I realize that it will not be a true pate.  Deal with it.  I just need to find a 6 quart crockpot......
