Going through old photos, I came across this shawl that doesn’t get enough time in my regular wardrobe. This is “Water” by Sylvia McFadden. It was my first time playing with short rows in a shawl and I loved it!

The MC yarn is “Bramble” by HHF on their skinny singles base. The short row/CC is “York” by FDF n their Foxy Lady base. Both are luxuriously soft and squishy, perfect for around the neck and next to skin.

As always, detailed project notes on my Rav page.

Perks of teaching in Montana: you get to take kids out cross country skiing. If you’re lucky, you’ll nail the weather (like today) and get a bluebird sky. If you’re unlucky….well, at least you still get to go xc skiing.

Here’s a taste of what we will be growing from seed this year. Almost all of these things will start inside and then be moved out after last frost (which is June 20 for us). There will be a few that we get to start in ground (carrots, peas, etc).

What are you excited to grow this year? Anything new? Any old favorites? Share your grow zone if you know it!

Gardeners, where are you?!
I have a special note in my planner that I get to timeline my seed starting this weekend. To be honest, the winter hasn’t been awful, and I’ve been enjoying the snow enough that I’m not craving the greenery….yet.

But the seeds are waiting patiently. The ground will, eventually, be warming. Our perennials are readying themselves.

And I suppose, right now, I’m readying myself as well.

The shawl I’m wearing is the #reynashawl . The cardigan was found in the bargain bin of a thrift store. The hat, always offering wisdom, reads “Don’t Pet The Bison”.

Working on my next handspun project! One more bobbin to go and then plying. I’m shooting for a fingering weight yarn that could be used in a colorwork project. 🤞🏻

The fiber is from Spun Right around and is Falkland #13.
