sunshine sunday

the one up side to our super mild winter has been an absolutely dreamy early arrival of springtime.  when lily suggested we get out the quilt and head outside i was only too happy to oblige.

while lily lolled around reading i enjoyed the many greens and blues of early spring.

what?  well of course i was knitting as well!

it's a new project, to counteract all the fiddliness of yesterday, an age of brass and steam kerchief (rav link) knit up with some amazing new zealand possum yarn gifted to me a few years back by the lovely louise at prairie mouse.

a perfect day, everyone is happy to be out of doors!

Isn't lovely to be able to be relaxing out of doors so early in the season. We've been having some lovely sunny weather too. Look forward to seeing the finished project. Ros

Seems you had a great Sunday outside!
Love your new project! It's a nice color too...

Oh, a lovely Luna picture!

I'm thinking of starting that kerchief too, need some more spring-like neck coverings for the office (it's on the cold side there).

I'm jealous of your spring!

oooh it looks like an absolutely ideal sunday! hooray for the arrival of spring! and for lily's love of books! and for your lovely new kerchief! can't wait to see the progress!

LOVE that kerchief! And you're going to love that yarn - that is what Partner's cabled scarf is made out of. It's super warm and the possum creates a great halo.

Lovely! Looks like you had a beautiful day!

i just love the *idea* of possum yarn. who goes out to comb or shear the possums? is it a fulfilling job? when you fill out your taxes, do you put "possum wrangler" on the form? i can't even wrap my head around it. can there be a follow up interview with the yarn makers because i am just flummoxed.
