Good morning, good afternoon, good day, and happy Sunday! It is nearing the end of June and that makes it time to share some loves.
Tea messages are always a happy maker. Especially when one is trying to get over a wee bit of a bug of some sorts.
Browsing through library books. Now wanting to knit all the lace.
Who doesn't need some socks knit up in STR Psycho Barbie?
Or yarn that is named after your blog...My Sister's Knitter from Little Dyeworks.
Then a lovely tea pot find by the mother, when she went thrifting. It is wonderful to be thought of. :)
Knitting has been happening, but as I don't want to bore you with what seems to be the same progress pics, I won't. I will save those to bore you with at a later time.
How about loves around blogland. Never boring, always inspiring loves.
- Lori's out of the world finished knits in preparation for her very soon exciting trip.
- Something in me gets wicked excited when seeing works in progress. So when I saw Lacasita's I was pumped.
- Since when does a sock post not make me happy? Check out Olivia's post.
- I could spend hours watching this sweet video made by Liesl. Something very calming about it.
- Reading my tea leaves post, A week in objects is fantastic.
- There are those blogs that don't even need to bother with words as their photos can tell the best of stories. When I am in need of visual storytelling, I seek out Le Porte Rouge.
- "Met" an amazing new friend who just happens to dye up beautiful yarn. Don't worry you will be seeing her yarn on my blog in the coming months. Hint!
- Ever see a pattern and not think about it again till someone like Amanda knits it up, then you can't get it off you mind? Such is the case with Amanda's Light and up shawl.
Did you visit the places and have fun? Hope so.
I will leave you with a lovely Sunday-like song.
Have the best day today!
XO,
Andi
P.S. ~My apologies for any comments that I did not reply to last week. Once again my Spam filter was sucking in some of the comments. I think it is resolved now. :)
I hope you are having the best day too Andi. Love all your pretty yarns and all the links, exactly what I needed to see as I sit down to eat my lunch.

How cool is that to have a yarn named after your blog! It's such a lovely color . Can't wait to see what you make with it. I'd like to suggest they make an "Andi pink" as well if we can be so greedy.
Does it ever get too warm for you to drink hot tea? It's only 89 here and I can't imagine drinking a cup of hot tea.

A yarn named after your blog? How cool is that? Are you going to knit socks from this lovely skein?
Thanks for sharing all these links, I'm off to visit! Happy Sunday to you too!

This is not only a tea pod. It is a yarn holder, where the yarn has to go through the muzzle. I clearly see that! ;)

Oh spam filter, you work so hard and overachieve.... Lovely sock skein that is named after someone so special :)

Great links!
And oh my, that is one of my favourite songs ever - their music is so beautiful!

Oh Andi, I always love your calm, sweet Sunday posts. And I agree about Amanda's shawl, it's a beauty, but I think I like that hat on her blog better. I hope you had a wonderful June, all is well here - no new trips or anything, just keeping busy.

I really love your tea's wisdom! How awesome to have a yarn named after your blog! Yay!

There seems to be a nasty bug going around! I came down with it as well as my boyfriend and a lot of the people I work with. It's no good for work productivity, but great for knitting time. I nearly finished a baby sweater :)

Your library has books on Estonian lace on loan? I'm so jealous! Also, how wonderful to have a yarn named after your blog! Do you have project plans for it yet?

Hello there, I found this blog after googling for knitting blogs. Few years ago I decided to teach myself to knit socks and I've made quite a few pairs since then. Last week I decided to finally learn to knit something else and to attempt to knit my very first basic pullover sweater. I just completed it and on the other hand I am so happy that I managed to make something like that, but on the other hand I feel a bit sad that it didn't work out perfectly, though I now know what to do better next time. I'd love to hear some comforting and reassuring words! :)

What a fun and creative video. Those kids must have had fun. Love their furry accessories. Hope you were able to down out the ick. Psycho Barbie, funny. How cool to be inspiration for a colorway.

Where did you get that coaster with cables on it (it is holding the Psycho Barbie)? I love it!
Congrats on a yarn named after your blog.....now I want to go get a cup of tea and knit...but I am not sure my boss would appreciate that!

So much pretty yarn, hope you are a wonderful week Andi. The tea pot is impressive- I can see why drinking tea might be so lovely. Off to check out your lovely links.

Those colours in the dueworks yarn are just my colours, love it. It must be so cool to have a yarn named after you in some way. Like the knitters walk of fame or something. As always I really enjoyed the 'loves', thank you for sharing.
