Peat






Peat...
is brown, purple, black, mauve.
is the name of this Rowan Kid Classic colorway.
is deep fresh earthen soil.
is rich silky dark chocolat.
is the true color of my daughters' eyes, and mine.

I'm sure
when I'm grumpy!
Ah yes
My element is Earth.

Seahorse knits


Heh I made a new Flickr account for my knitting projects.
Believe me, for me, this is seriously seriously advanced.
I even managed to put a badge in the side-thingy of this blog.
Yes 't is called a badge vous savez.


I know
my friends
you
are rolling over with laughter
chuckle chuckle
I'm rather
late at
discovering the use
of this excellent
photo-device
but I bet
you're
secretly proud
I
did.
it.
after all yo.


So for my
knitting projects for this year go here
socks (yeh...) go here
and objects that inspire the knittig : this way



Thanks!

And the deep deep red.

And now, what next?

or
streak (Hedgehog Malice sockyarn and Lorna's Laces Shepherd sockyarn)

I'm having fun winding the yarn and draping the fabric.
Thinking up
something
new.

Everything

Work in progress, Pattern : Swiss Cheese scarf
Also beautifully worked here
Yarn : Silverdale alpacas, Needles : knitpro 3.25 circular




For Easter we went on a long weekend trip to a place near a mountain.
I was knittig holes.
Lovely slow and soft holes.
And while I was knitting circles
of
nothing
I was thinking
of
everything.



Hope your Easter was just as wonderful.
