While everyone else is posting about wafting spring blossoms and beckoning garden plots, we are solidly hunkered down, enduring one of the last (we hope) of the season's miserably wet, cold, and wintry blizzards.
Luckily I have some very satisfying knitting close at hand. I'm just getting ready to add the second sleeve to the Tealeaves cardigan, which I am knitting in Tosh Merino yarn.
In Dried Rose no less.
I'm afraid my little point-and-shoot camera simply cannot do justice to the lovely shade and texture of this yarn, the exact colour of... you guessed it... dried roses.
Even Mr Mylo can patiently wait out winter in this scene.

It is beautiful..and so is the kitty.
May you be warm.

hope you are by now past that blizzard! I can't imagine snow in April!!! Our spring has been a bit pokey arriving this year, but I think I can safely say it's here----no more below freezing days are predicted (I hope).
I have yet to make a tea leaves cardi----but that color has me doing some serious thinking on this end of the blog!!! really pretty.

I love Tosh yarn so so much :) I managed to go the whole winter without finishing a single project...and now it's Spring and I'm dying to pick up needles again. Strange, but true :)

Well, it may not have done justice to the yarn, but look at the silky fur on Mr. Mylo!
Our snow is forecast to arrive tonight or tomorrow. I so, so, so hope they are wrong!

Two very beautiful images. Spring may be slow...might you get to see the northern lights show?

Yes! As a matter of fact we do get to see quite a spectacular show occasionally :D

i would trade you--at least once-- a nice early drift of daffs, hyacinths and muscari for a good northern lights display!
