The Ides and Beyond


A wee pom pom made with a fork for a bit of fun.

On past the Ides of March and soon we will cross the line to meet the first official day of spring as it creeps slowly up the eastern seaboard. In the meantime, I am writing short stories, enjoying the sunlight, and knitting a few rows now and then.



Unfortunately, as I was knitting my shawl the yarn broke at a weak spot. I've tried a spit splice, but for some reason it didn't work, and I've tried a Russian join but that looked too bulky. I'm thinking of adding yarn at the beginning of the row and weaving it in later, although if I Russian join looked less than stellar, I am not sure about weaving in the ends. I've never had a problem with a Russian join before. Oh!  If anyone has other suggestions, please let me know.
