This Is How It Starts

 When getting ready to do a PJKnits You Tube video, there is a bit of planning.

First I plan it out on paper, I may make a couple of versions, depending on the topic.  The morning of the taping, I will line up on my couch the assorted things I want to talk about, before finally making their way to my table to podcast from.

Today's Episode 167 is pretty much all about some Winter Sweater WIPS that I brought out to start knitting on one at a time.  You can check them out by clicking here

And stay tuned here, in the coming weeks, I'll be showcasing them here and on Instagram!

Birds As A Source For Sweater Colors?

Recently, I've been watching a lot of Wild Earth Safari on You Tube.  Not that I am ever going to go, nor do I really want to, but I do enjoy watching animals and animal behavior in the early mornings or late evenings.

What I have discovered is how much the birds in Africa have me looking at their colors for possible future sweater color combos.

I am seeing combos in them that I never would have thought would go together, while also finding out about birds a world away.

But, also colors I never would have put together, like these below in the Merops.  Beautiful green, orangey red and brown.

It is funny how sometimes, the color of the same bird comes up differently on the tv screen, but also gives color thoughts too.

This Blue Waxbill intrigues me with the sort of light turquoise and gray/brown combos.

So many color thoughts and more just keep coming.

While we are on the subject of birds, I finally found a hummingbird feeder that is bee proof and ant proof this year from Chewy. I have been having a hoot of a time watching a couple of hummingbirds come all hours of the morning into evening.

I, also, am paying attention to how long the water is out there and changing it often.  

Funny how the little things bring moments of Joy.  I hope you, too, are finding those moments.
