I am busy with spring projects, and I am so happy focusing on them right now. Your post inspires me to get back on the horse, so to speak! My patterns this spring: the color aqua, the twiggyness of sarvis berry branches with baby buds on them, the straight stitches of patchwork quilting, the various knitting charts of the Guernsey Wrap by Jared Flood for Brooklyn Tweed.

Everywhere there is a joy and a warmth in what you create and in your charming house. A perfect welcome to Spring and the hope of Eastertide.<br /><br />Alas, we are not in the least bit practical and are completely amazed by your talent and skill. Even threading a needle makes us nervous and we are in complete awe of what you can create with wool. We found you via the equally talented Annie whose comment is above us. We cannot hope to come close to either of your creative talents but we love to read about them.<br /><br />We are your latest followers.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229743630534449187.post-81316446717558037462015-04-01T08:36:33.009-07:002015-04-01T08:36:33.009-07:00That is a darling little hat, and those granddaugh...That is a darling little hat, and those granddaughters of yours look very at home in their fort!<br /><br />It's the pattern of days that I'm focussed on here, as the season's change and members of my family make some big leaps ... including my elder daughter and her partner''s imminent leap into parenthood ... just a few weeks to go!<br /><br /> Annie Cholewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17608057589525908147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229743630534449187.post-75501768691198775532015-03-31T20:36:27.714-07:002015-03-31T20:36:27.714-07:00What a lovely post, Gracie.

I've yet to try Teresa's hat pattern but I have a feeling she might exclaim that I had created a new pattern, too, quite by chance of course. I'm not so great at reading patterns. And don't like lengthy ones or unusual stitches. Crochet should be fun. Not time consuming and tedious, right! Good luck with your knitting. Have a wonderful Sunday.

I would try casting on with a smaller size needle and doing a k2p2 ribbing instead of a k1p1 ribbing and using the smaller needle. Then switch to the larger needles for working up the rest of the hat. Try it and let me know :)Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912030095491960175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229743630534449187.post-27877289294131902072015-03-26T15:51:53.310-07:002015-03-26T15:51:53.310-07:00I love your home too and all the pops of spring co...I love your home too and all the pops of spring color-beautiful<br /> I don't create patterns, but when I do a fiber art piece-I just go for it and do what ever happens-no planning at all-lol <br /> that is a big frog-I haven't seen one that size here yet-I love spring as the woods comes alive again<br /> hugs Kathykathyinozarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01644138355524729156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229743630534449187.post-19034976863348019282015-03-26T10:26:37.812-07:002015-03-26T10:26:37.812-07:00Here is the post I put a picture of the pattern in...Here is the post I put a picture of the pattern in, Vickie.

I would love to sit there and chat with you about patterns or anything you wanted to talk about. I think most new patterns are discovered in error, you want to do one thing and end up doing something else, it is part of the creative process. I think you are wonderful by the way.<br />Thank you for your honesty and your great outlook on life.<br />Hugs,<br />MeredithMereknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04596140300034854370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229743630534449187.post-70632516660475323092015-03-25T02:35:56.602-07:002015-03-25T02:35:56.602-07:00Wowsers your house looks like such a creative hub....Wowsers your house looks like such a creative hub. a place to sit and chat and drink tea and make wonderful things.
