New Life...

Nothing in our garden delights me more than the first daffodils…



Last week I took some time away from my community knitting to make this pair of Emerald Green Handwarmers for me (I didn’t have emerald green in my stash)…


I used Patons Astra in hot pink (I like this yarn, soft and warm) and 4mms (US6)…


My new favourite handwarmers, light enough to wear on these pre-Spring days…



Back to my community knitting with some new feather & fan cloths for the birthing project…


215 cloths so far…



and a new batch of Save The Children preemie caps…


I changed the brim to a lacy look…


It doesn’t take much time to crochet these little caps and hopefully they will warm some wee babes - 20 caps and counting…




Vogue Knitting has some free patterns from their Alpaca collection (I see a pair of Aran Gauntlets I’d like to try one day). VK also has a nice collection of knitting wallpaper, as does the Potter Craft site.


This little squirrel knocked over the seed bucket again, but was kind enough to share the spoils with a sparrow...



Well, dear reader, I had other stuff to share with you but my concentration has slipped away, so we'll say goodbye for this week and hope to see you next time.
