In love with lace

I have a new fascination...wool lace weight yarn!  This phone photo does not do the lovely turquoise blue any justice, it's just so lush.  The pattern is a super easy 8 row repeat.  When it's done it will be a gift for a special young lady I know.

And then who knows....maybe I will make myself one! 

Keep Calm.....

...and carry YARN.  I have to say, just having my knitting nearby makes me hopeful, that will get a moment to do something fun!  I have been doing a bit of crochet here and there, flowers and granny squares.  I am in love with fine fingering weight yarn.  I love the Knit Picks yarn Pallet, it comes in every color imaginable.  I want to do some fair isle knitting but with fresh unexpected colors....we'll see how it goes....so many project dreams....so little time!

Lavender's New Dress

Well, I am a working (outside the home!) Mama again.  BUT, I still am determined to carve out time to do what I really LOVE. So, here is one of Lavender's summer dresses.  She asked for a dress with strawberries on it.  Naturally I found fabric with roses and strawberries.  I love the Lakehouse Fabric line, this one is called "Pam Kitty Morning". Not sure why it's called that, but the patterns are so sweet.  She was really excited for the bow in the back. This dress is made for serious twirling!
