Jump Start

I havent been posting and I havent been knitting because I've been really burned out.

To make a long story short, I was at Barnes and Noble on Saturday and FINALLY got Last Minute Knitted Gifts. I have been jonsin for this book for MONTHS and I can't even begin to express how excited I am to have it.

(Side note, it is snowing here right now - yay for snow days - and the tree outside is covered. There are two cardinals outside on the tree, a male and a female. they are sitting checking out my deck, deciding whether or not they want to risk eating the suet I have out. I hope they come and eat, they are So pretty and look so bright against the white/grey/brown background of the snow/sky/tree)

While at Barnes and Noble I also checked out thelatest issue of Interweave Knits. I was very close to buying it because I had not recieved my subscription int he mail yet, but decided to give it another week. Good thing too, I recieved a copy in the mail on Monday!!

What a jump start. Talk about Spring knitting - there are so many refreshing patterns in the book and the magazine - just looking at them inspired me to start working on projects that I have had lined up.

On Tuesday, I knit this:


Lace Scarf from Last Minute Knitted Gifts

It was a really fun knit. I really really like knitting lace now. I decided next up was a pattern I got for XMas from my mom. I'm using yarn and a pattern from fiber trends:




The purple in the background is the couch. Because of the color of the yarn its easier to see the lace with a dark background. I think it is so pretty and I hope I have have it done by Easter.

And finally, since this will be a small post as I take baby steps back into blogging, here is a picture of DH and me snowboarding at Whitetail a few weeks ago.




Happy knitting!
