Spring is in the air ...

Today it definitely was :

spring was in the air.

(though there wasn't that much sunshine)

Our private bulb field !

These delicate crocuses fall over with a bit of rain or wind

but today they stood proud !

Sad to admit, but the snowdrops are already over.

Every late winter I long for them

and always too soon they are gone

So I picked a few

and made some drawings.

This is just a start :

I will work on them with water colour

and other techniques to keep them 

for a much longer time !

A new baby was born in my nephew's family

so I made my usual present

for that occasion

Welcome Fie !

There was more knitting these last two weeks :

the indigo blue shawl I made was a success

so I started another one

with homespun yarn daughter gave me

combined again with some fluffy

Rowan Kid Silk Haze Stripe.

(and while it was Stitch'nBitch-day today

I took it with me to Rotterdam)

Tadaaaah

(though it was a day late

it still was included in the good cause KAL donation !)

In my search for new knitting projects on Ravelry

I found something interesting.

Though I don't have the pattern for this Norwegian jacket (yet)

I had to give it a go

(on some smaller scale : mittens)

I frogged it already three times

and even now the size is too big ...

(must do some more tests)

And finally I received the (very) last felted piece

of the felting-exchange

(with one extra for the delay, ha, ha)

We hope to set a date for a meeting 

of all the felting-exchange members this summer.

It will be fun to see each other

ánd to see all the work.
