Morning Sadhana Hat, #137                                            Spring Cowl, #138

The snowdrops have popped on the sunny side of our country road which means those of us on the "other" side have 10-14 days before we get to see our own gentle blossoms, but they are there, under the fresh 14" of snow that fell over the weekend.

In the sunny afternoon you can hear the melting, running, dripping water rolling off the roof and down the road. The first inklings of snow melting, the smell of earth and buds coming back to life. 

Here are 2 quick little projects to ease you into spring, to keep you from the lingering winter chill. Each made with 2 hanks of Lobster Pot Cashmere... soft gentle texture, drape and a bit spring color.

Have you ever wondered how many shades of red Crayola crayons there are?  We did, and learned that Crayola makes 23 shades of red crayons.  Does a brand new box of crayons make your fingers tingle, creativity flow?  Just the way you feel when you are surrounded by gorgeous yarns of many colors and textures?  There is really NOTHING like finding just the right color to fit your project. 

Working together with Lobster Pot Yarns we found this gorgeous "Boiled Lobster" red and look what happened!  Subtle, gentle color and twisted rib.  Hats for every size, with a beautiful shape and drape.  The perfect hat in the perfect color.  

Take a look at some of our other shades of red; #75, #105, #98, and #77.

"Creativity is contagious, pass it on" - Albert Einstein

Winter is a wonderful time to really sink your teeth into a project. Stretch your mind. Look at yarn in a new way. Learn more about textures. Try soft merinos, rugged hand spuns, cashmere's or alpaca. Learn what's enough and when to add more. Thick yarn or thin? Have a blast with colors. Try one new idea and you will be on your way to endless variations. Piles of projects all over. Brain candy. 

As Einstein said, "Creativity is contagious."
