…. I’ve been playing with squares and sailors. I’m so happy with my design work right now - the baby blanket is really coming on strong. It took a while to figure out just how to make the diagonal garter st 2 color squares, but I’m especially happy with the result - particularly the carry-along weave in’s on the back - an accidental design feature, but one that really adds to the overall look. The sailor sweater is beyond pretty - the yarn really works well with the design and the collar is knitted right along with the front, so no pesky picking up and knitting. Thanks SWTC for keeping me inspired!

As you can see, I’ve been birdwatching recently and managed to spot this friendly little Wally Bird! He’s such a gregarious fellow - bright shiny eyes, soft downy feathers and a super sunny disposition! I was lucky enough to capture his shy nest mate too! Aren’t they adorable? You won’t be able to spot them in your back yard for a few months yet, but keep your eyes open, as they may visit occasionally.
