oodles of green
I’m always working on some project or another, and most weeks I talk about what I’m working on Wednesdays as part of Tami’s WIP Wednesday project. You can see past WIP Wednesdays … right this way.
I’m not normally a huge fan of green, maybe I just want spring to get here, but on my desk alone I can see, the inside of my favorite mug is green, lots of green paper for note taking. I have pens and rulers that are both green, and a huge stack of green swatches staring me in the face.
I’ve been knitting full steam ahead on this pile of swatches, but at least the end is in sight. You can see the blocked ones on the left and the unblocked pile on the right.
And my new shawl (with it’s super bright green stripes) is at the point where I’m going to start adding patterning. Yippie!

More Swatches
I’m always working on some project or another, which means I often have FOs and new designs to share. You can see all my FOs … here … and all my designs … here.
Seriously, it’s getting a little ridiculous around here, and the swatching won’t stop anytime soon (but at least I enjoy swatching.)
I think they kind of look like children’s toys. Maybe?
