Went yarn feasting - umm shopping

I traveled to Wild & Woolly in Lexington, MA last week. I will be sending out to my follower winners hopefully this week. I am so darn slow to get things done in this beautiful weather :-)
LOVE W & W in Lexington - super selection and I lose track of time when I'm there...

Spring photos




Photos taken for future painting projects and for Project Spectrum 2009 "North"



More Green for Project Spectrum




For the "Project Spectrum 2009" group I have been knitting various green items that are helping me hold on til spring actually shows itself...
The diamond lace scarf of Rowan damask - so soft, approx 4 leaves so far knit in various material samples I received from Sage Gifts and Yarn. Also I finally knit a pair of "Fetching" fingerless gloves. The pattern is from Cheryl Niamath - found on Knitty.com

Planet Janet Knit along

I recently finished some smaller projects using green yarn of various materials. The drawstring bag was made for the "Planet Janet" knit along on Ravelry.com

The multicolor beads in the yarn make it fun.

Asian Theme ATC

I sent out my trade for the ATC theme this month. One is based on NE India. The verses are "Amazing Grace" in Garo. The stamp from a friend from ASSAM mailed from Guwahati. This card is 2.5 " x 3.5". The other cards are made from elements of a card received from China for New Year greetings and silk upholstery material (2 x 2 inch) that I love. The simple Chinese is "CAT" for my friend Cat. That card is 1x1 inch...
