summertime wishlist.

for work:


and for play:

nothing much here.

hi!

I am just dropping by to say hello! I don't have much to show you except buckets of sunshine and anticipation of warm(er) weather. I know winter ended months ago, but I feel like spring is just starting to show it's face around these parts and things are just beginning to bloom. It's lovely, but kind of a distraction from my projects and I think I may already be nearing the point of my blogging summer hiatus! In just a few weeks I'll be living in a new house, start my full time summer job and finally see all my friends I've missed over the winter. I apologize in advance for the neglect, but please stay tuned... because there's always a few polaroids or finished projects to share!


the knitting part.

Oh, I do have one question, for those of you who have knit lace before...
I'm working on a scarf and having a ton of fun (though I don't want to show it off until it's done!!) I've neared the end of one skein of yarn and am wondering how to start the second with out it being too noticeable. I feel like with the delicate, airy fibers it will be tricky to hide!

any suggestions?


Thanks and happy spring!!

If you're a self taught knitter (like me) then half the time you don't know what the heck you're doing! Having a little book to answer questions or give tips is always helpful. Vicki Howell put together the perfect, purse sized volume, Knit Aid, and she does a great job selling it:



I totally want to be her when I grow up! Haircut and all.
