One of these Mondays it will be spring! Until then…
1) Liberty Stile! I bought mine here. A completely unsolicited and unsponsored opinion: those are REASONABLE prices on this line. I waffled for a few days about which colorway to buy (having recently been put on a fabric-fiber budget, I could only choose one, womp womp) but took a wild hair and went for the pastels! I’m craving spring colors. And unreasonably craving baby quilting. Not a baby, mind you. I’m only in the mood to make baby quilts? These fabrics should do it.
2) I cast on that spring cardi. I knit the swatch last Friday and this yarn? is a dream. I’m pretty inexperienced, but I’ve never knit with a fiber quite like this. I’m so excited to wear this sweater. Stating goals in public means they get met, right? So I’m aiming to have it finished up for Mother’s Day weekend, when I will visit my good friends in Phoenix. (Will I need a merino-mohair sweater in Phoenix, however springy? Well.)
3) More fabric came today! I left it wrapped up because…it’s not for me! Can you see what it is? Or guess what it’s for? Hint: I’m coming up on 100 posts here. (And I’m totally keeping that scrap of Type for me. Neener neener.)
4) I am rewarding myself for some VERY good behavior today with a naptime half glass of chardonnay (don’t worry, the hubs is home to toddler-wrangle when she gets up). Adding in some knitting and some Call the Midwife, which I love much more than Downton Abbey shhh, and it’ll be a good hour and a half for me.
Happy Monday to you! If it’s spring where you are…I don’t think I want to know about it. 🙂
What a lovely post and blog! I just bought some Liberty Stile, also! Love it!
Liberty fabrics, glass of wine and Call the Midwife?! All my favourite things! Enjoy (and no, theres no spring here yet! Brrr)
Hi – just found your blog through Simply Miss Luella! Don’t worry I am in North Georgia and it is still winter here today too! Snow Flurries even! I have been trying to decide on some Stile and I think I really like the pastel group! I am a knitter and crocheter too.!
I would have bought the pastel one too 😉 But I am going to go to my LQS for some birthday shopping so resisting and staying away from Pink Castles, lol. I spend too much money there! I just had my 100th post but wasn’t very organized so I think I will be doing a little giveaway for my birthday. Someone should be happy about me turning 30, lol. I know it isn’t me….
I love Liberty of London and the pinks you picked are so pretty! I’m still in college tight budget so unfortunately I’ll have to wait a while before adding them to my stash
Now I’m going to have to Google Call the Midwife to see what its about 🙂 Love the Liberty – so springy! Can’t wait to see what you do with it.
Love your springy Liberty colors. I haven’t had a chance to catch Call the Midwife yet, but I keep meaning to watch it. I’ll have to make a point of seeing it now if it’s better than Downton!
