From the Past Month

Ah, once again it’s been so long between posts. Time goes by so quickly! I should title this post “From the Past Month Plus”. It’s been a busy August here simply enjoying the summertime.

After a rainy June, July and August finally felt like summer had arrived and I took full advantage. I thoroughly enjoyed soaking up my dose from the almost daily sunshine! It makes me a little sad that September is right around the corner; summer was not long enough in my opinion. Maybe we will be blessed with a warm-ish and sunny autumn. Fingers crossed!

Here’s a little peak of a new ensemble I just completed for my Little Darling, Lucy.

My girls have agreed to “share” this ensemble soon. Lucy wants to wear it for a few more days before “sharing” though.

Do you like dragonflies? This dragonfly landed right on my finger as soon as I was about to take a photo of Lucy’s cardigan. It was so unexpected and sweet. He wanted to stay on my finger too. I’m probably too impatient; I had to set him elsewhere after a minute or two.

Now for some human knitting news. I finished my “Rumble in Brighton socks”. You can read about that yarn in my last blog post. The yarn is a random speckled yarn, but it knit up looking like micro stripes. I have no idea why…

My current sock project is self-striping yarn by Urth Yarn’s Uneek Sock base in color #58. My local yarn store where I purchased it at is 2 Needle Chicks. I must say the yarn is tons prettier than the photo on the box. I’ll share the finished pair next time.

If you’re in the U.S. I hope you all have a beautiful Labor Day weekend. I’ve never heard of this, but my daughter has classes on Labor Day! I thought the point of Labor day was no labor. Oh, well…

Bye for now, my friends. ❤

A Happy Hello

Hello, dear friends. I wanted to pop in and wish you a great weekend and a Happy Easter if you celebrate. My three Little Darlings—Gina, Lucy, and Alice are dressed in their finest and awaiting the Easter Bunny’s arrival tomorrow. I wonder what treasures their baskets will hold.

It just started raining here; the wind is picking up, and it’s none too warm! Ugh! I think I’ll dream and wish and pray for a sunny Easter Sunday tomorrow. How about you? Although it isn’t always, (I remember snowy ones) Easter Sunday should be sunny!

Speaking of sunshine, here’s a photo of my chihuahua soaking up the sunshine from a week ago. He gravitates towards every sunbeam coming into the house. No doubt today, with the absence of sunshine, he will be burrowed in his blankets, poor baby.

Have a wonderful Easter weekend or simply a wonderful weekend! If you care to share your weekend plans, I’d love to hear them. ❤

“Wishing for Spring”

9 Replies

Hello there, my friends! How has March been going for you so far? Do you have any spring fever starting, or autumn excitement if you are in the southern hemisphere? I love the seasonal changes.

Lucy is most definitely wishing for spring here in northern Illinois, and I am right along there with here. We had some springlike days last week; they were sunny and warm-ish, perfect for erasing any of the remaining winter doldrums.

We’ve had 7 straight days of sun-filled gems which have been glorious! I haven’t taken even one of them for granted. ❤ It’s hard to tell yet, but maybe we’ll have an eighth.

To celebrate March, I’d like to show you Lucy wearing “Wishing for Spring”. Her mohair/silk cardigan is in the most luscious green, kind of greenish turquoise. I embroidered blossoms in pinks and peach along the front neckline and shoulder area to this light-as-a-feather cardigan. They have tiny ivory Delica beads as their centers.

I knit this cardigan from my Little Darlings “Light Cardigan” pattern. I used the longest length and the elbow length sleeve instructions. You can find the pattern here.

Lucy’s pretty cotton floral dress is printed with pink and peach posies and tiny turquoise/green buds. They pick up the color in the cardigan nicely. French cotton lace decorates the hemline, and a thin pink satin ribbon ties around the waistline.
