still on Cuba slow-mode time!

It usually does not take me this long to bounce back from a vacation.  I still seem to be on slow-mode Cuba time for some reason.  Even went to the market yesterday and things seemed slow there too.  I think it may be the weather.  If the sun appears soon then I think I will bet more zip to my step!
We had lots of socks on hand for the market, but did not sell many at all.  It will be a good test to see if it was the inclement weather  or just a sign that wool socks selling is not as popular this time of year.  We took a break come May last year, but we were hoping to go longer this year.  We will have to track our appearances and see if we need to end our two week intentions sooner or not.  Mark one off the list, and try again in two weeks time and see the results.  Here is a photo to symbolize our return from vacation.  The item in the laundry basket is a Cuban mask.  We buy one for each
time we go and now will have 4 of them on our Entrance Room wall.

Good dose of Fibre for today!


Brigadier 88 is getting a good dose of Fibre today!
Look at all the different colours of fibres in use as MrB cranks out socks.
MrB has been busy cranking and cranking to catch up from our sales at the market this week as his cranking time is limited to one week this stint before the next market.  Can he reach his goal?  I think I have 8 pairs or more to kitchener so I have get my arse in gear this afternoon.  It is great to kitchener and have the tv on playing the soaps.  I only put my head up when it's real important. hahaha

Purple in what world?

Purple in today's world?  No, apparently not, but it is to be purple in Tomorrow's World, as the name of this colourway is Tomorrow's World!  One kitchenered and then one more to go. Alas, all the cranking/knitting has been done for this week, goals met and some surpassed, which is good.  Tomorrow is getting ready for Saturday's Market, cuz we are still in today's world!

The Constrast!

The contrast of the pastel softness of the colourway Lollipop and the vibrant richness of the colourway Blind Venus with a splash of spring too!
