Sharing a little Sunshine

Yes, that is my skirt, haha! I was so happy to finally able to wear skirts.. and I got a little dressed up to be picking up my boyfriend on Friday.


Besides knitting, I love doing photography. To me-photography and knitting are like art (well it is art). We've had two nice sunny days in a row that brought us playing outside in our flip flops, tossing a football around (my family and boyfriend), blowing bubbles-things that we would normally do on a beach day. However just these past two days we also enjoyed having the windows open and feel that fresh breath of air. I just decided to share a little sunshine smiles with you : ). It's rare at the beginning of spring like this to have great weather!! Last summer we went to the beach and soaked up the sun while we were knitting. Yes, I said knitting on the beach! Talk about relaxing!! I'm excited it's finally getting that time of seasons.

Here's the bit of sunshine!

3.) Casting on one of the petals..

So yesterday I finished my first knitted flower for my mini purse! Enjoy : )

Catching up with blogging..

Yes, I hadn't blogged a lot this week, so I am catching up with blogging this morning. As I mentioned in my last post-I finished a lot of projects I've been working on for months. So now basically I'm somewhat project free (a knitter's dream). Yes I've finished the Fairytale blanket, and photos will be posted soon-it depends if I add extra sides and something else to it. For right now I'm just leaving it alone and saying it's completed. So for this week...

What's on my needles:
1.) Summer Lace Capelet
I'm still working on this, and started it a few days ago. It's coming really well, and I've modified the pattern a bit. However, sad to say-that I ran out of yarn from China Town. But luckily we're going on a Yarn Crawl this upcoming Saturday (March 11th). I'm excited!!

2.) Summer Tank Top??
I'm not sure but I'm thinking about starting a summer tank top. I hadn't really started it quite yet.. but only one row, and may have to start over-or I might just wait until this Saturday at the Yarn Crawl to get more yarn and inspiration.

3.) Summer Scarf
This project is going well, and is mid-way to almost done. : ).

Ah yes I'm finally working on summer projects... or well spring projects!!

Spring Cleaning, Spring Knitting!

Okay, so it's a new month and I'm really excited about it! It's almost spring time! Last night I got a head start on spring cleaning my room, and hopefully to finish it after lunch. (I reserve mornings for knitting!) So right now I'm hoping to do some spring knitting-well working on my sock. This week I'm hoping to get some spring hats done (by using cotton, not acrylic).

Happy knitting!
