A couple of things I've been working on...

Finished this cute little cropped pant for a new baby. The pattern is from Leigh Radford's "One More Skein". She calls them Drawstring Hemp Shorts, I made these from a cotton wool blend, and of course I cannot find the label to tell you which yarn it is, however, I remember it had 'Quattro' on the label. I will go searching for it. I thought it was going to take two skeins, however as I approached the turning row for the facing at the waist I realized that if I used a different yarn for the facing I would have the second skein left to make another pair or??? So I used a little bit of red cotton classic for a contrast and added the pretty ribbon, et, voila. Baby isn't born yet, so, yay!! Something done on time!

Found this cute little felted spinning wheel bag on Ravelry somewhere and thought, that's just what I need to keep my spinning wheel oil and accoutrements in. Here it is pre-felted and here it is after:

After felting in the washing machine I used a sandwhich bag box to block this in a rectangular shape. Very pleased with the way this turned out. And of course this is Noro Kureyon.

Am still working on finishing up other things, including getting back to Madli's shawl, so even if it doesn't look like it, despite spring fever, I have been getting a very little done.
Cheerio!

White and Purple

This wisteria 'tree' was spotted on a recent drive through Bogalusa. Sorry that the image isn't very clear but you get the idea. First of all I had never seen white wisteria before. Second, I certainly had never seen the two growing together, seemingly on one tree. On closer inspection it proves to be two separate trees or vines planted very close together and allowed to grow, or guided to grow together. Simply beautiful!

I am still sorting through projects and trying to overcome spring fever. Hope to have something to show soon. In the meantime I am enjoying this spring!
