Today, April Fool's Day, I remember all the bad jokes my brother used to play on my family on April Fool's Day. He used to make my mother so mad and sometimes made her cry. I have forgiven him for those tricks, but sometimes when I remember them, it makes me shake my head. I don't understand the need for guys to play those kinds of jokes. My DH will play a trick on me and cause me to cry and then he'll say "I was just joking". Really? Argh!
Anyway, it has been a stressful week so yesterday, in order to get some of that negative energy out of my body, I worked on eliminating cookware that I don't use anymore and re-organized my cookware cabinet. I made a good dent in my elimination process, and I'll probably do another round of it later this year. It's like clothing, if you haven't worn it (used it) in a year, get rid of it. Years ago I used to make cheesecakes and therefore had a couple of springform pans, yeah haven't used them in over 20 years. Why the hell am I keeping them? In the box they went! It feels great and it's liberating. I have 2 very full banker boxes in my trunk ready for Goodwill. I quickly put them in my trunk so I couldn't change my mind. 😏
While we had some nice weather, I sat outside and worked on a test knit and played with my camera. It was a beautiful day, not too warm, a little breezy, and sunny. I'm working on a test knit for DebsDestiny and it's called the Stained Glass Cape. I started off with a light blue base and some multicolored handspun for the stained glass effect. After knitting 3 sections, I decided I really didn't like it. I liked something with more contrast. Then I got really busy at work, working late nights and had to stop knitting. Picked it back up this week and decided on navy blue/white.
This is the prior version, now frogged.
This is just one of the pics where I was playing with my camera.

With the handspun that I was using in the frogged cape below, I am playing around with some crocheted hexagons.
