Spring!





More Blue Bonnets, the trees are all greening up and the sweet pepper and tomato plants have been planted.   Spring is certainly making itself known. Hope all is well in your corner of the planet.  Enjoy the journey.

DIY Alabama Chanin Swing Skirt

DIY Alabama Chanin Swing Skirt by Turtle & Dragon
DIY Alabama Chanin Swing Skirt - 7 March 2013

Finished hand stitching this skirt today. It was a DIY skirt kit purchased during a sale from Alabama Chanin. I really enjoyed the hand stitching, it becomes almost a form of meditation.  What have you been creating lately?  We had a fantastic visit with family and dear friends over the past couple of weekends.  It always feels good to spend time with loved ones.  Enjoy the journey.

Inversion Cardigan - Complete





The Inversion Cardigan can be worn two different ways. I have tried to demonstrate that in the images above. Please find more information and images here.  There are three pieces to knit and then some sewing together of said pieces to finish this cardigan. If finishing work is not something you enjoy, I would avoid this pattern. That said, I found it an interesting knit, a bit like a puzzle putting it together in the end. The yarn colour is called Soot, charcoal with flecks of grey and white. Now onto knitting a vest in a wonderfully soft alpaca wool blend yarn, as well as beginning a new quilt project (will share more soon).  Just planted the last round of radish seeds for the season and the seedlings have already emerged.  Hope all is well in your corner of the planet.  Enjoy the journey.
