Knit two, ladybug one, purl two...

I am in love. Yes, it's true... a new new love has stolen my heart and now occupies way too much of my day. You know that 'young love'? The kind that steals you away and you want to spend every minute with them? The kind that makes your mind and heart think of nothing else.. that is what I'm talking about. Two smooth sticks, a ball of yarn and I am in *heaven*. *Sigh* I started taking a knitting class last weekend and it fabulous!! Love, passion, a girlie crush, whatever it is, I am enjoying it most thoroughly!



While I was working the other day on my 'homework' this little ladybug decided to make an appearance.
Oh, you have no idea how wonderful his arrival is! It is a symbol of the coming of Spring!
He crawled all around, checking out my new, fancy-shmancy Crystal Palace bamboo needles. Bamboo is so much nicer than aluminum.. it grips the yarn just enough so I don't drop my stitches. Once I am a little better, I will probably want the smooth metal but for now the warm wood is perfect.
The girls loved watching him run the needles. They cheered him on and when he fell, Momma would have to carefully place him back up on his balance beam.
The magazine below my work is last years Living from Martha Stewart. They really are timeless and I love to read them year after year looking for old 'new' ideas.
I hope that you all are well and doing what you love! If not, find something to fall in love with, again or for the first time. It's so much fun!
