February Update - Summer Project on the Needles!

February was brutal here at Life LDC! The weather was horrendous....so L&D and I snuggled up on the couch and got going on a summer project!

A bit of swatching happened along the way.

Here's my February update....




(I'm working on an intro graphic...I'm almost there :)

    Whichever dog is burrowing in the snow ... Too cute!
    The brioche hat is too big, it will likely drive you nuts falling down over your face, so I vote you rip it out. Great stripey hoodie - I like it.

    Another lovely video. I generally enjoy your chats whilst I eat my breakfast! I don't think the brioche hat looks right.... a bit too big. I vote for undoing it and starting again. Happy knitting!

    poor little snow dog - so cute! I don't care for the Brioche hat either. There is a better use of your time. Love your You Tube - hope you keep it up. I love your Revive hoodie sleeve! Here's hoping spring is coming - April just around the corner - cheers !

Bead Whimsey with Sivia Harding That was the name of the class that I took at the Toronto Knitters Frolic.  I have attended many workshops in my time, so it takes a special workshop to catch my attention. Do you know her? I have to admit, I wasn't aware of Sivia's work until it was announced that she was the special guest for the Frolic.
