Twinknit

Today is extraordinarily beautiful.  I went for a long walk this morning and took some photos (this is gonna be a photo-heavy post, all in the name of spring and Project Spectrum, of course!)

Pattern: My own (based on Eunny’s Endpaper Mitts, but modified a lot)

Yarn: Lorna’s Laces in “Tuscany”

Needles: Knitpicks dpns, US 0

Thoughts: Fun, quick, beautiful.  They took less than one skein of yarn — in fact, I probably could have added an inch to each wrist, if mom had wanted me to.  And can I say again how much I love Lorna’s?  Perfect for spring.  Add too all of that a tubular cast on/bind off and twisted 1×1 ribbing? Love.
It’s interesting to me how my last two knits have both been with a yarn called “Tuscany”.  The strangest part about it?  Neither of them even remotely come close to my idea of a Tuscan colorway.  It would need a golden warmth, dry greens and  delicate yellows, and a deep cerulean blue.  Maybe a flash of  pink or purple, just a flash.  Nothing like this Lorna’s or that Jitterbug.  Ah well… to each his own.

And now for some Project Spectrum:

West Philly is beautiful this time of year.  I’m so lucky to have two places that feel like home.

New flip flops (I don’t normally slide this far down in my flops, but this was their first time out of the house and it took a bunch of walking before the straps stretched out for me to shove my foot in).

Clark Park.

Trees.

More trees.

I’ve finally caught up with my bloglines.  Sorry for lurking and not posting on all of your lovely blogs.  I’ll catch up with that soon too.

Have a beautiful Friday all.
