Although I’ve been in New England for three years now, spring flowers never get old. Mostly, I think, because I am still learning things. Like, this. Anyone know what it is?
It lives outside my dining room window and has thus far survived the marauding herds of deer.
On the subject of bright colors, I have another FO. I haven’t taken pictures yet, it’s the last week of the semester and it’s possible I’m drowning. I have a progress photo, taken when I needed some encouragement to either frog or continue. I kept going, but still am not so very sure it was a great project. Take a look for yourself:
Very. Bright.
The point of the project wasn’t another pair of pants for the boy, rather it was an experiment to see how the striping yarn I’ve been dyeing works up in the project it’s intended for.* The colorway was an oopsie one, intended to be far closer to the pastel end of the spectrum. I didn’t think anyone would buy it, so I thought it would be a good example (knit in Em’s size, though, so not entirely a waste). I’m not sold on it, and if I’m not, then who would be?
*What a poor example of grammar. Excuse me.
The stripes are kinda cool though.
Maybe I should make it a black and white photo.
I really like it!! I think it is springy and bright and boyish…Pair it up with a solid color shirt (green or blue) and you have a cool combo…I think anyways!
The blue flower looks like Scilla sibirica to me.

The pants are too cute!
I really like those colors! I love bright stuff and not only does it make great baby pants but I think those colors would be excellent socks !
I just sent the link to mom. If anyone can ID the flowe, it’ll be her.
I like the pants, but If you aren’t crazy about them, you can over-dye them or just use them for night time.
The flowers are beautiful! 🙂
I have lived in New England for 3 years now and I love it!! 🙂
I came to your blog through another one for knitting, if you don’t mind me reading!

They are Scill and they alos come in white.
Oh, I think the yarn looks fun and would make very cute pants!
Nice! I like the colors. ;op
I love the colors, even if you didn’t mean to make them. Pastel does sound nice in this though. Em will be even more handsome in these cutey pants, a feat I never believed possible. I’m with Heather, pair these up with a solid color shirt and wowza.
I too love these colors and the brightness of them. Especially for sock knitting. Good Job (even though you didnt mean to:)
