Friday Finds!

Yarn!  Of course and I really need to stop buying, but "needed" these for a couple of projects that I am dying to cast on.

I started out with the one on the left for a particular shawl.  But, then I thought what if when I get it, it really isn't the colors I was looking for.  So, I added the one on the right, you know just in case.  Then, I got them.

And what is so cool, is that they really look good together.  So, now I am torn.  Perhaps, I need to re-assess my choice in pattern.

I am so starved for real Spring weather, and something quick and easy to knit, something with instant gratification and something that will count towards some grams for the ZK Contest, that I bought some colors of Ultra Pima to supplement my caribe blue and white that I had in stash.  I'll show you later this weekend, what I am knitting with them all!

But, aren't they so springy?!!

And because I could not resist when I was at Fiber Universe, I picked up this colorways for Hospice Blanket that just screams me!

I want to cast on all the things!  Spring Fever, that is definitely what it is!  Happy Friday!

A New Day A New Week

My earlier post from today has been deleted.  It was just too dang depressing and that is no way to start a new week, now is it?

Thank you Rick!  I needed this.  The world has been trying very hard to change my smile these past couple of weeks.  It's a new day!   And there is so much knitting that I want to do, so be happy 😃 in whatever or however many projects you want to knit.  You are your own knitter.  Have a a great week! And smile 😊!

Sunshiny Day

Finally!  It is a beautiful day in Central Illinois!  And lunchtime knitting means knitting in the sun in the car.

Finally Finished Friday

My Pavement Sweater by Veera Valimaki out of Sea Pearl Yarn by Briar Rose Fibers.  This was worth the knit.

It is no secret that I have fit issues and this was a pretty simple knit, but I took my knitting and fitting skills and I have to say I love this one!  It fits and I love the feel and the drape of the yarn.

Happy Easter!
