Even on a cold overcast day, there’s always comfort to be found in small things.  Like the growth spurt and new leaves of an avocado seedling that you’ve been nurturing for weeks.

I haven’t been able to make much progress on my sock over the last few days.  I’ve only knitted a couple of rows, and it wouldn’t make for a very interesting photo.  So here is something more interesting instead.  Remember my avocado seed that I’d been attempting to sprout?

It’s coming up nicely.

This week I have been alternating between knitting a few rows on the Green Print sock and knitting a couple of rows on the Cherry Cola afghan.  I knit using the Continental style along with the magic loop method.  Combined, the two approaches make for faster knitting.  Still, it’s slow going.  I could share pictures of my progress, but they would be pretty boring photos.  Luckily, I discovered something very cool this afternoon when I got home, so I’ll share a photo of that instead.

My avocado seed is sprouting!
