In today’s post I’d like to share my newest FO (finished object), a bit of gardening, and a lovely yarn store in Pacific Grove, California. It’s always fun to gather up the little things that have been inspiring me lately, so let’s just hop right in!

Since I was a little girl, this most beautiful hymn has always been one of my favorites:

I was feeling pretty grumpy about my knitting after finally admitting defeat on a gorgeous (and expensive) project that  was not working out and needed to be frogged. After all that frustration, I needed something sweet and uncomplicated on my needles—something guaranteed to make me happy. Enter Sprout! This little project felt exactly right. I already had my collection of yogurt pots saved and waiting, so all I needed was the yarn.

This spring post that has a little bit of this and a little bit of that.

Welcome to my spring world!

Last year I made beautiful lavender chive flower vinegar and we loved it. This year I'm trying nasturtium flower vinegar too.  Nasturtiums have a peppery, almost radish-like bite, so they seem perfect for vinegar. 

The scarves above and below are both about 2/3 finished. Above is Just A Scarf and is next to my bed when I want to knit at knit before bedtime. Below is Emporium. I'm keeping this in the family room at this time and work on it during TV time after dinner. I also took it to Palm Desert and got a lot done there. Both knits are just a blast to make.
