It's still wool season here ...

Happy First Day of Spring from Muskoka

Considering the lack of spring like weather I will have to console myself with more winter sock knitting, (Business Casual by Tanis Lavallee and the yarn is one of her OOAK yarns in Blue Label).

And colorful new yarn from a new-ish Canadian indie dyer, Blueberry Pie Studio in Toronto.  The colorway is called Muskoka Sunset, and while I'm usually wary of multis the name and vibrancy of this colorway made it a mid-winter pick-me-up.

Hopefully soon we will be getting some actual Muskoka sunsets, on days like today its hard to remember what summer looks like, but summer will come back and we will get those sunsets that inspired the vibrant colorway.

Spring is Springing

I went out for a walk today, according to my phone it was +11oC, which is downright spring-ey, this is what it looks like out there.

I came home to the cat enjoying her self and surveying her ever melting/expanding domain.

It is supposed to rain for the next two days, so the snow will be totally gone and it will be time to really enjoy the muddy, wet spring.

On Springtime and WIPs

So, sorry about the radio silence, after Knit and Crochet Blog Week, I was a bit burnt out on blogging and the weather has been wonderful.

I have been doing some knitting, finally finishing off projects that I spent most of March making.  However, showing you the WIPs feels too much like "Stars Without their Makeup",  they are still really pretty, but it feels exploitative to put them on the web without getting them get put together.

So, I am hoping that I will have at least one ready by the end of the weekend, and then it will be ready for the blog equivalent of being on the cover of People magazine.

And if we are lucky, I might even get a yarn spun up ... it has been a while since I finished up a yarn.
