Picture Perfect

We had the perfect weather today - sunny, 60ish, light breeze, warm in the sun.  This weather makes me so happy I just can't stop smiling!

And of course I spent some time on the deck this afternoon.  Ever since I've hung out the hummer feeder, I've been sitting at the other end - the last thing I want is to freak them out (if you squint you can see the little glass feeder at the end of the bench there, looking like it's resting on the top of the railing):


I put fresh sugarwater out yesterday and there have been many visits by at least two birds that I can tell.  One visits the southmost-facing "flower" and remains hovering whilst drinking, and another perches on the edge of the feeder and drinks from the easternmost flower.  I'm sure there's all kinds of things that happen when I'm not watching!

And I spent some time working through the fidgety loop things on April Hat (there are bobbles, too, but I conquered those with January - twice!).  Fortunately there was a video, which was a big help (link is in the pattern).  Of course May Hat was released today, no pressure!!

Colorful Booties and Socks

Image
It is the Year of Colorwork, but mostly what I've done so far is produce a few color ful items!  I've been making this baby bootie pattern for years, mostly from leftover sock yarns.  This particular yarn is what remained from last fall's Flamewalker Socks .  That these booties stand up all by their jaunty selves makes them particularly appealing. These are  Crazy For You socks.  They haven't told me yet exactly whom they are crazy for , but I'll let them ponder that for a while.  It appears I may have caught a bit of Knitting New England's Tangerine Tango  with all of these orangey colors!

Wingspan, Part I

Image
I have two skeins of Classic Elite Alpaca Sox yarn that absolutely refuse to become socks. They pool, they gap, they otherwise cry and carry on in all sorts of ways. So, they are becoming Wingspans instead. I finished the first one last night, and cast on the second one this morning. They are, indeed, a pleasurable and addictive knit!

I've been busy, but I don't have much to show for it - yet. You will be seeing a lot of finished lace in the coming days, so stay tuned! In the meantime, here are two pillows that I dyed and knit for friends who are getting married next week.
