Not Spring, Yet


I feel like it should be spring, however, the temperature is -15C today, so not yet. These are the tulips in a pot on my counter. They are a happy dark fuchsia colour, a lovely contrast to the white stuff outside the window.

I finished up some projects, that have been hanging around.

The mosaic scarf that was suppose to be an advent project is finally finished. It needs a blocking to straighten the edges, but it will be great, next winter (please, no more cold weather.)

The bag that was the sample for my bag making class got finished. I figured if I didn't finish it right away, it would be in the nearly complete stage forever.

 It is very purple, even for me. I did add a contrast pocket, on the inside.


I made another pair of baby socks. Baby socks are my favourite gift for a new little person. These ones were completed for someone else, who wanted to gift a pair to a new mom.

I love how the self striping yarn makes two really different socks, because they use so little yarn. this yarn is the greatest unisex yarn. It has a bit of everything.

  2. Our spring is starting later this week. I hope your arrives soon.

    Lovely work, as usual. The scarf is gorgeous. Those socks are the cutest! For future pairs, perhaps you put a reference in the photo just so we can see how tiny they are.

  3. Oooo, I LOVE that mosaic scarf!
    We were teased with spring, and now it's very cold with a major snowstorm on the way. I would have been fine with this in January or February but I'm over it now.
