Now that spring is here...

...I'm once again overwhelmed with project ideas. Everything is an inspiration to turn beautiful organic fibers into prideful masterpieces. Today the house is open and the fresh spring air is circulating the lovely scent of the peach mango pouring off of the flame. I love creating my own atmosphere and scented candles are always a part of that equation.
Regardless of what your craft of choice is, it really couldn't be a lovlier day to work on it. That's exactly what I'm doing today. Hanging photos and knitting are all that's on my very short to-do list today. The first of the two sleeves is on the needles but both will be knitted up today. I'm expecting more yarn to be arriving on my door step any day now. Also, I would really like to start wearing my little shrug, so this only means that I'll be quite the busy knitter. Not such a bad position to be in. :) What's your inspiration?


It starts with a single strand...

...and becomes beautiful fabric.

A short to-do list is the best thing in the world. I enjoy seeing your projects on the needles as much as after they're completed. I don't have any experience with knitting machines, so I find watching the process quite interesting.

Sheila-Thank you very much!
Randi-Wow! Thank you so much Randi! I really enjoy knitting-in-progress photos and I expecially love photographing my knitting on the machine. LOL! Even with all my experience on the machine, I still find it facinating to watch also. ;)
