the blue blog archives: the return of spring?

Could it be that spring has actually arrived? One would think so with all the bugs around! (Grin.) That's right, sleeves are done and I'm not bringing the crazy bug sweater with me next week. I'm taking a little vaca from tiny needles! Along with my husband's vest, however, I will be bringing the recently-frogged all season's cotton top with me to start over again. Lovely cotton, lovely colors, lovely size 8 needles.... now all we need for a lovely vacation is some lovely weather. Please!!

Hi!
This is the first time I read your blog, I'm a spinner, knitter, weaver (and more fiber-things..) from Denmark, where spirng has finally come, too! You make wonderful knitting, I can tell by the pics! The summer top looks exiting and easy to knit. Keep up the good work.
Greetings, Birthe in Denmark

That second bug sleeve went much quicker! The colors are so spring-like.

Hey, if you get desperate, send me Native and I'll weave the ends in for you. ;)

Have a great trip. It sounds like fun. I love boardgames but can never convince anyone to play them with me.

Hey Alison ~

It's not bravery. I simply cannot tolerate arrogance. Not sure I'm done with the topic either. Thanks for your kind words ~ they mean the world to me!

Alison ,About socks for the boys ,you don't have to like all types of knitting.After all you knit the most beautiful things for your boys - the bugs look fantastic and the VW bugs was a masterpiece. I really enjoy watching how you conquer each new skill .You're a natural .
Borrow the PG-R book to see if you like it . There are no patterns as such ,but well thought out and well written theory.
