Knitting Green

I like to collect old knitting needles, especially the colourful metallic kind. They sit pretty in a tin bucket in my crafty corner in our loft. Here's a couple of green ones to kick off project spectrum.

And if I can drag myself away from my camera, and this computer, I will also get started on a green project -- the 'Here and There Cables' scarf by Norah Gaughan. I'm knitting it in some very pretty silk yarn from Red Rocks Fiberworks in colourway Green Grass (Mary-Kay - this yarn is a dream, so very buttery soft).


This pattern hadn't originally called to me. Until I saw this one on Ravelry. Don't you just love Ravelry for that -- how different folks can take the same pattern and turn it into something unique - with their personal stamp on it, so to say.

I better leave you and get cracking on this project -- it is to be a gift for a dear friend that I'll be meeting up with in Washington DC in just over a week.
Happy knitting!
