Anticipation

Spring is just around the corner and I can't wait to see and smell the flowers. For now, I'll just have to be content with this little crocheted one.

Me and my hexipuffs

Progress continues on my Beekeepers Quilt. And I have to admit, I'm still loving this project. To help keep me on track I've joined a 365 photo group on Flickr. I thought i'd share this weeks contribution here.

Toast with a little jam please

I was over visiting one of my favorite blogs, a friend to knit with, and read Leslie’s entry for Jan 5th and immediately went looking for the copy of her pattern, Toast, that I had downloaded and stuck somewhere a while back, with plans of making sometime in the future.  I loved that she shared an e-mail from Char about the pattern.  It compelled me to pull out my skein of Shelter in the color soot and whip up a pair these little beauties.  Quick, cozy and a great knit to cast on dp needles and perfect their use.  So off I go to enjoy a cuppa with my pair.  FYI, these will be great to pull on in the wee hours of the morning when I grab my laptop and visit blogland.  The computer keys are always sooooo cold!

I finished up my blue hitchhiker scarf right before the holidays and am finally posting it as a fo on ravelry and blogging about it.  I can’t say enough about the yarn, Rainy days & wooly dogs, Ricin.  It has a bit of bamboo in it, which gives it a beautiful sheen, softness and drape that I’m just crazy about.  Stephanie has such amazing yarns, no wonder I’m a gothsock groopie! This being my second hitchhiker to complete, it is a given that I’m in love with the pattern as well.  Martina did a great job with the instructions and making this such an easy one to follow. I hope to get much use out of blue this season.
