Have you seen spring?

It's not here. Yet! Tomorrow morning we're expected to get some snow so time will tell what the first day of spring will actually look like. In the meanwhile, I bought some spring faux flowers today just in case.

Also, I cast on the Rikke Hat with Sweet Georgia Superwash Worsted Yarn in colorway Ginger. The color is divine!
Oh and before I forget ... I must share my lunch with you. It was beyond delicious. Elevation Burger is my favorite burger place.

  
So what project are you working on this week? Tell me about your favorite burger place!
