This photo is of all the works in progress and finished objects that I have going on and it is all just sitting by my recliner in the living room.
At the top you will see the finished cushy face cloth I finished using the test needles and the latest piece of lace (in that gorgeous aqua blue from Knit Picks). Then there is a gypsy bag and the Montego Bay scarf. I work on each of them periodically but like I said, lace is in my blood at the moment. The dark blue lace that I started last year is still being worked on and will be done before Christmas of this year. That is my goal…
Oh, there is also a pink tank top there in the photo that I finished awhile ago but have yet to weave in those pesky loose ends. I hate that part. The weather is warm enough that I could start wearing it so I better get it done and photographed.
It’s Monday, experience something new and savor every moment of it. Right now I am experiencing Kiwi/Strawberry yogurt and it is delicious!

I have decided to scrap the new lace project on account of color choice. That lace yarn I lasted posted about is making me want to gag. Blah! I hate the colors! It is like washed out camouflage. I don’t know what I am going to do with the yarn but I will not be knitting with it. Life is to short. If you think you may want it, please let me know. I would love for someone who finds it appealing to have it and love it. In this house it will only be hidden away. Any takers?
Have a great day!

Welcome May! I am so happy to be in the midst of spring. It makes me happy to walk outside in the morning and feel the warmth of the coming day just under the surface.
Okay, I am in a bit of danger. You see, I am very close to finishing the Zetor scarf/shawl and yet I have already found the pattern for the next project I want to do and I even bought the yarn! (okay, to defend myself, I bought the yarn from handpaintedyarn.com thinking by the time the yarn arrived I would be done with this project. This company usually takes forever to send the yarn. Well, wouldn’t you know it; I got the yarn in 3 days!!! Unheard of!) The color is a little off from what I thought it was gonna be. I thought it was more of a light robins egg blue and it turns out it is really a minty green. Hmm, I won’t lie. . . I was a little disappointed, I was looking forward to the bit ‘o blue. But, I am not daunted by this change in color scheme. . . I am going to press on and make the project with it anyway and I am confident that when it is done it will be beautiful and I will love it. If not, well, we’ll see. After winding the yarn into a nice ball (which also caused a nice muscle spasm in my shoulder blade), I put it down on my side table only to find that EVERYTHING on that table was in the same color scheme as the yarn. WHAT?! check it out for yourself:
See what I mean? all my books that I am reading have the same colors in them, the candy wrapper fit in nicely with the gold tone and the mug, well. . . it’s just my favorite so I included it.
Knit on, people, knit on. Peace~ Dawn
