Oh, Spring, Where Have You Been All My Life?

I'm not sure how else to describe this last knitting season. In a nutshell, it's been interesting. to say the least. Full of ups, downs and all-around wintry winter-ness. Serious thoughts of design school, knitting seminars and pretty things to make have been swimming through my head the past few months and all of a sudden it's almost summer again -- sure to be different than any summer I've had in a really long time. Once again, knitting proves to be my steadfast fascination through it all, along with the good company of good friends and a little tabby cat, too :)

On the machine knitting front, I'm all signed up for the knitting seminar that is being offered by Angelika's Knit Shop over Mother's Day weekend and pretty darn excited about it. I may not be really for a full-on education in machine knitting just yet, but it will be good to fill my head with some newly found knowledge of how to knit things better.

I'll be joining lots of other craftistas at the Bliss Handmade Spring Boutique Sale this Saturday May 5th, about which I'm also very excited! There won't be too many warm & cozy things on my table, but nevertheless I've had a ton of fun dreaming up cute cotton-y items on the lighter side that will be for sale. I really ought to be working on items to sell instead of procrastinating, so I'll leave you with this flyer that's got all the details:
