From Hilde, a box full of All The Colors. The extreme beauty of this is causing an ache. This box of goodness is thinking about becoming some socks, which I think would be a pretty big happy pill.
The stash, exploded view. Post-Springfield Dress, I am on a color tangent, and am knee-deep in Kaffe right now, trying to work up the nerve to get some intarsia going on the needles. I can't even believe I just said that. Intarsia. Urgh. But Kaffe, in his supreme serenity, makes it all seem so--can this be right?--fun, and Kay is making it look actually possible. In my head, all this yarn goes together in a pleasing way, but that might just be me. I have an idea for it, and it will be a stretch. We're going to the outer limits of my ability to find all yarn related things enjoyable. Kinda excited about that!
Birthday yarn from this year, again from Hilde, who, it has suddenly become apparent, is the Yarn Fairy. When this showed up, I think I literally dropped whatever I was holding and cast on a sock. Watching those stripes develop is more interesting to me than you would believe.
How wonderful to have all that yarn around for so many possibilities. It's a little chilly in the mornings here still. The heater still kicks in to take the chills away until the sun warms things up.
ReplyDeleteWe're having hail showers in Shropshire, Middle England right now. Happy days. Cat dog looks snug. Wish I was crocheting. Rebecca x
ReplyDeleteI wish you weren't anon - I live in Shropshire too!
DeleteHello Jo (from Shropshire). I'll find your blog and leave you a message on there...... Rebecca (also in Shropshire) x
DeleteSuch a beautiful explosion of colour in the first photo with so many possibilities. What could be nicer than sitting in that beautiful rocker by a fire with all that wonderful yarn.
ReplyDeleteit is good to get it all out every now and again. I have hardly any yarn left but my fabric cupboard is bulging right now with small off cuts from my own projects - I will have to make the little ones something. Jo x
ReplyDeleteOh. My. Goodness! So much yarn. I would be in a VERY happy place with all of that beauty surrounding me. I love the stripy socks and your shawl too. We have a sunny warm day, then a cool cloudy one but I am going to be harvesting some rhubarb today so spring must be officially sprung!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Betsy
Gorgeous explosion of colour! and Catdog is so sweet (is she always asleep?!)
ReplyDeleteLove that sock! And the sun in the last photo!
ReplyDeleteAll that beautiful yarn is making me a bit woozy. Great projects you have going on here, especially that shawl. I am obsessed with knitting podcasts lately, barely sewing on my quilts, just glued to the computer and learning so much!
ReplyDeleteCold here in Norfolk in England, for April. Snow showers, hail showers, bitingly cold Arctic winds... but some sunshine, some blue sky to start the day. Cat-dog has the right idea!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It is always such a pleasure to see your enchanting work!

Your Yarn Fairy...
Lots going on in your world, I went yarn shopping today, can you believe I did not have enough worsted weight for a sweater?
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Meredith
Isn't the sight of all that wool so enticing. Just gorgeous. Love all your projects. Staying cool here in Ottawa, Canada too but soon some warmth...hopefully.
ReplyDeleteThe box of wool looks too good to use. Dear little catdog is such a snuggly bunny. I wonder how she will deal with summer. Will she curl up on the grass instead of the couch?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this.
ReplyDeletethe box full of All The Colors evokes cheerful feeling of happiness. Soft light on pillows is mesmerizing to sleep.
