The first day of Spring has arrived. I think this Spring has been one many in the around the states have been looking forward to for many cold months. The new season has been known to bring new life to recipes, gardens, activities and knits. No surprise when I went looking for monthly loves, there were tons to be had.
Since I have had a very lovely sample/test knit on the needles, I am lacking in anything new to show you. Thank goodness you have all come to my rescue to provide plenty of eye candy.
Oh wait, I do have this wee beginning of a square to show you. It will among many squares that will make up another comfort blanket. That's something right?
Non-knitting related, I found this wonderful new to me chocolate. Sweets with a purpose, that's what I'm talking about. :)
Let's head on out to visit some loves around blogland, shall we?
Socks, socks, socks...they are everywhere. Nothing makes me happier than seeing lots of beautiful handknit socks.
- Audry finished two
- Janet has been working towards her 12 socks this year.
- Jesse has had socks flying off her needles. She is also working on a year of socks.
The designer friends have been creating the most lovely patterns:
- Andee and her stunning cardigan.
- Rebecca and her wonderfully textured hat pattern
- Robin designed a lovely shawl
Kylie posted this simple vanilla syrup recipe. The thought of it in my tea makes me feel decadent.
Any and all posts from Milla. I could spend hours on her blog.
Lovely and sweet darning sock tutorial from Hannah.
Did you visit? Did you have fun? I hope you did.
I will leave you with a lovely video, but before I go I will fill you in on some upcoming happenings. Don't forget the Luna grey yarn giveaway that ends March 29th. I will be doing a book review and giveaway on April 4th. Yay, more free things, right? :)
Have the best day today!

That sheet of that bronze yarn is wonderful. It makes the color way rich.
Spring has been sunny with a bit of breeze and cool.

Yesssss, here's to new life and added energy after a long winter. Lovely earthy color on the first image, very pretty. The chocolate is one of my favs from that brand, nothing better than doing good while eating good!
Enjoyed my visit here as always- have a lovely week ahead.

It is always such a treat to get to hear from you on Sunday. Thanks for sharing my cardigan :)

Spring??? It's not here yet in NJ...we had a taste of it yesterday but it has disappeared once again! The comfort square is looking delish!

oooh I love whatever is on the needles up in that first photo (beautiful photo too). And hooray for the comfort blanket. I'm still slogging away on my mini blanket for the guest room. Got so bored with it that I began making a moebius scarf for my hairdresser and I went and bought some Madeline Tosh lovliness to knit the Nae shawl. :)

Hope your weekend involved all of the above that you've pictured. The chocolate looks absolutely fantastic!

Gorgeous yarn in the first picture! Have a great start of Spring!
Posted by: Maryse | 03/24/2014 at 05:22 AM
love the rich brown of the first project the best! It's been unspringlike here in PA but I'm the patient sort :)
Posted by: karen | 03/24/2014 at 05:44 AM
can't wait to see more of your test knit...the yarn is gorgeous!
Thank you for mentioning me and for sharing so many delightful links.
Hope you have a fantastic week with lots of sunshine xx

So much for spring, it's snowing here...
But I love your post as always. I also like the rainforest chocolate, even though I don't buy it often. Have a great week Andi!

I can't wait to see what that test knit is. That yarn is delicious.
Snow in our forecast for tomorrow - just a few inches, thank goodness. Poor New England is going to fare much worse, I think. This winter has been brutal! Let's hope this is the last hurrah.

Oh my gosh! Thanks for featuring my little log on your Sunday Loves, Andi! So stoked it led me here.
I'm excited to peruse all this knitting goodness, as well as the darning tutorial, because I have a whole little basket of darning waiting.
Happy Week!

Hurrah for socks!
I had a horrible dream the other day that I didn't have any feet. And the first thought I had was, what am I going to knit now that I can't knit myself socks?
Posted by: Audry | 03/25/2014 at 02:48 PM
The South did not get the memo about spring. We are still acting like is mid winter. Not very charm. Thanks for spreading the love with the wonderful links. And, that chocolate looks like it belongs in my pantry :-) Me + dark chocolate = besties. Have a wonderful week my friend!
