It's time to place your order for potted Easter plants at the local nursery.

Yes, the time has come. If I were more adventurous, I would be ordering enough plants to sell by the roadside next weekend for Easter, but since weather can be a cruel mistress, I'll forego the potential sales and the possiblity of having to store *a lot* of plants in my house if we get cold temps.

All that lovely angora I processed yesterday? Now is on sale over at Webs. They were really happy with it, and couldn't get over just how soft it felt. It does feel really good, but having the actual animals, well, it spoils you as to just how nice it does feel. And after carding for 3 hours, my fingertips look like they were pricked by lots of tiny needles (the tines on the drums do that). I couldn't spin angora or silk right now even if I wanted to as the fibers would stick to the rough skin on my fingers.

One thing I plan to do later today (after I do bunny chores and clean the family room) is sit down and start working on the cardigan. I've put it off as the yarn I purchased from Webs a few weeks ago looked Periwinkle on the shelf, but more lilac colored outside. I wasn't sure if I wanted a lilac colored sweater, but, you know, it's a pretty shade, so I'll go ahead and knit it up.
