lovely yellow baby blanket

This lovely blanket, knit with Bunny Hop, fits right into the May is Lilac or Yellow theme, and the design fits with today being summer solstice. apparently this is the earliest solstice since 1896... you know it specifially relates to the orientation of the planet in the universe, in relationship to the sun.... go GOOGLE and find out!
anyway, the wonderful free pattern for the blanket is HERE

off to try some curried onion and spinach lentil soup!

in the summertime

ha

it's going to be 89 F here today & our air conditioner is not in top condition.
so am thinking summertime... and saw this lovely pattern for a summery shell in bamboozle.

crystal palace yarns free pattern Bamboozle cabled shell

this is very pretty isn't it?

we have a quail family in our yard... i was out looking and picking flowers - like the colors in this shell! and saw daddy quail on card and 8 tiny little ones about the size of a leaf! they scurried away with mom and were soooooo cute! imagine grass less than 2 in high, and one went into the grass and i couldn't see it!

Bamboozle Ruffles

I think this is gorgeous... and wanted to share. The sweater
is knit with Bamboozle - cotton and bamboo blend-which is very very yummy and soft, as well as machine-washable! The free pattern is
CrystalPalaceYarns Free Bamboozle Ruffled Jacket

you can see how the jacket ruffled front plays off the yummy print colors.

This is a new girl's sweater done in Bunny Hop Yarn colors

The yarn is a joy to knit! it's the wee bit of angora- adding the most incredible softness!

isn't it wonderful? of course the beautiful model helps too!
