A Wee Woolly Finish♡

 

Hello lovely lovelies, lovely friends♡ I hope you are sparking sprinkles of joy in your little corner of the world. Admittedly, to find joy in this sad world can be difficult to find these days but let us try, shall we??

Lady Spring is sprinkling joy into my days. It has been a slow start to Spring, with the weather just beginning to warm up but the garden has awakened with the sculptural, bare trees of winter blossoming en masse. Metres tall trees with blossoms, blossoms, blossoms everywhere but with the wind gusts of unpredictable spring, those blossom-filled trees are but now a carpet of fallen petals. Still pretty, though.









Wee Lenox's woolly jumper is finished. I remember when you last visited I wasn't sure how the jumble of colours would work in a cohesive way but I must say I'm loving all the colours dancing together. My experiment of throwing oodles of colours together looks rather spiffy, I think. Oh, and all those scraggly woolly ends which had to be weaved in weren't as much of a chore as I thought. Sometimes, it's head down and royal proverbial up, and just do it, isn't it??  I decided to knit a cable strip and sew it to the bottom adding a bit of oomph. The blue of the cable strip and the ribbing for the sleeves set off the plethora of colours fabulously. But then, blue has a way of making everything look better. Says the lady whose favourite hue is blue. =)







Another wee woolly finished. I'll give it to Lenox in a couple of weeks; that is of course if I can prise it from Teddy's paws. =) Wee Lennox and his mummy and daddy, and sweet Riley and her mummy and daddy......and Granny and Poppy, too, will all be together in one place at the same time holidaying by the beach. Oodles of fun! Oodles of snuggles and cuddles! So, so excited!

Time for another knitted woolly to go on the needles but first, I must finish the  Christmas fusion quilt I'm stitching. I'll blanket stitch and crochet around some more squares today for Slow Sunday Sunday. There's only a few more squares left to do before I begin to join all the pretties together. I had better get a move on though, because it won't be long until I espy the benevolent old fella's shiny, black boots dangling from the chimney. 


May you in your little corner of the world, and may I in mine, sprinkle a little joy and kindness today♡ Some flowers for thee?? 'Tis irises and granny bonnets dancing in the garden at the moment♡ Flowers bring me joy♡ You, lovely lovelies, bring me joy♡   May sprinkles of joy find you this lovely day♡ 

Until the next time......

  7. Dear Kim, what a wonderful gathering took forward too! It’s a beautiful jumper and spring arrived with all the beautiful flowers. A joy to see and experience every year, in our neck of the woods it is getting chilly and most of the leaves have fallen off from the trees. Frosty mornings greet us, with crisp leaves under foot. For us the layers are more now, so we have to dress warmly and those hats to keep our ears warm and mitts are back. We are spending a bit more time indoors every day. Have a great week, enjoy a cup of tea in your garden 🪴

    1. I must admit, Maggie, that for all my angst with Old Man Winter I do love to wear lots of handmade woollies and boots to ward off the freeze. But, of course, I'm in no hurry to have him visit again. It's your turn to have him. =) I'll enjoy wearing pretty dresses in the summer warmth for a long while yet. Thank you for your sweet visit. I'm off to enjoy a cup of tea in the garden♡ Have a lovely week, lovely Maggie . Kim Xx

  9. Love the jumper! Those colors do work well together! As you are getting spring, we are getting autumn here in Kansas. It's finally getting down below freezing at night. Time to get the garden to bed. Have fun at the beach!

    1. Ooh, it sounds chilly there, Karla. I suppose winter in Kansas is freezing?? Thank you for your sweet words re the wee jumper. Sometimes throwing a lot of colours together is serendipitous, isn't it?? Oh, I think holidaying at the beach with my family will be the best fun. I can't wait. Thank you for visiting. Have a lovely week. Kim Xx

  10. Thank you for the beautiful photos and for linking up to Slow Sunday Stitching!
    I sweater/jumper is beautiful and so happy looking with all the colours!
    And the cable at the bottom is amazing - I know how challenging cables can be!

  11. Oh your photos of all the Spring florals emerging just made me smile as I look upon rust colored leaves on the local trees. That jumper is fabulous. All of those colors work so well together.

  12. Your photography is so wonderful! I can't get over how many flowering trees/bushes you have with such an array of color. Just beautiful! I love the colors of spring and the promise it brings after the wintry weather. It is such a juxtaposition from our fall colors, which I love as well. Your sweater is amazing. I can't even get over how you could add a cable to the bottom. It does make the best finishing touch. Family and cuddles...the best!

  16. everything is coming alive in your part of the world while it is all dying off in mine. Fall has arrived here, still some nice days for the next couple weeks I imagine before the really cold stuff arrives. (my blog server is on the fritz again so you might get in and might now - it has been acting up for awhile now)

  17. Es tut meinem Herz so gut, deine bunten Bilder anzuschauen. Hier hat der Herbst mit Regen, Nebel und Kälte begonnen. Um so schöner ist es, bei dir vom Frühling zu lesen. Der kleine Pullover ist super schön. Vor allem das Zopfmuster am Bündchen gefällt mir sehr. Eine gute Idee.

    1. I don't envy your autumnal rain, fog and cold; spring suits my spirit more. =) Like Monet, I need flowers, flowers.....flowers. Thank you so much for visiting my little spring world. A beautiful welcome to you♡ Yes, I'm rather pleased with the cable skipping around the edge of the jumper. It finishes it off rather nicely, me thinks. Kim Xx

  21. Your spring flowers are gorgeous! I think that is my favourite season. We are in the midst of fall clean up here. I’m hoping to finish cleaning up the gardens this week.
    Wee Lennox is going to be feeling well loved and cozy in his new sweater.
    I’m looking forward to seeing your Christmas fusion quilt. I need to figure out some Christmas gifts to make now that the season is looming. Time flies when you are having fun.
    A three generation holiday sounds lovely. Enjoy every moment! Gail at the cozy quilter

  22. Dear Sarah, these irises with their magnificent blue are absolutely stunning.
    And your little sweater! That pretty little cable edge is a real eye-catcher. Superbly knitted, wonderful design.
    I wish you a wonderfully beautiful spring... filled with the scent of flowers and vibrant colors.
    Warmest regards, Viola

  23. Lenox's jersey is just adorable Kim - love that colour way. My apologies, you have been missing from my Reading List (again) along with a couple of other blogs i follow so I am late to the party (again). I am catching up on your posts. xx
