Beautiful Heather !
After the dark long winter we have been through in North America we could all do with some much needed colour. The photo above is some very Beautiful heather found in the British Isles.
I don't know about you but that colour makes me smile & my Spirit Soar !
And here is the Shetland Heather lacy glove kit that is a Warm welcome on a fresh Spring morning !
Knit circular on 3.5mm's with all over lace stitches that add such a feminine touch to the open fingered gloves. 100% Organic Shetland wool is light & airy & Perfect for all seasons. There is something very comforting about pure organic wool yarn & Knitwear that you DO NOT get with crappy Acrylics. Crappy Acrylics are just a waste of knitting time. In no time at all knitwear looks shabby... like its been to hell & back so what do you do....put it in the garbage....more crappy land fill ! Wool on the other hand is well worth your knitting time & Healthier for you & the Environment. Garments look good for years, they last (almost) forever !

My favourite part of spring centres around sheep and their wool. It means it's time to shear my sheep and play with the wool. This is closely followed by new lambs with prospects of their fleeces... I wonder what they will produce. And longer, warmer days to spin and knit outside while the sheep graze and the lambs play. :)
ReplyDeleteI like everything about spring... the green sprouts, the birds songs, the earthty smells and most of all... all the new babies lambs, it's cuteness season. :D
ReplyDeleteI'm a spring baby, so it's my favorite time of year. Seeing all the brown go away and all the fresh, new life coming back gives me a jolt that is desperately needed after a long, cold winter (especially after this year).
ReplyDeleteI like how the earth begins to warm and the growing starts and now that I'm a spinning I love that it's the time of year when most sheep are shorn :)
ReplyDeleteIn spring I do not have to wear multiple layers of clothes to stay warm.
ReplyDeleteI love warmth .In spring no more wood heat to take care of.
My favorite thing about Spring is the flowers--the hyacinths, tulips, daffodils and crocuses.

Hmm, so many things to choose from... I'd go with maple syrup making, and all the tastes and smells that go with a day at the sugar shack!
ReplyDeleteFlowers and green sprouts )

My favorite thing is the bird songs. Only when they star to sing again after the winter, I realize just how much I missed their sounds. Thank you for the chance!

after the long cold, snowy winter we have had, I think I have missed sunshine and color - I am tired of gray and white! And those colors for the giveaway are fabulous :)
ReplyDeleteI, too, love hearing the birds and seeing the flowers start to emerge. But the sunshine!! I no longer have to turn on the lights in the kitchen to make dinner and I love it!
ReplyDeleteSeeing my crocus and hyacinth bloom. Then I can believe it's actually Spring.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about spring is the weather..
ReplyDeleteFor me, the best thing is finally getting back out into the garden -- if I can't garden, I curl up and die inside, so Spring is even more of a blessing than Winter is a hardship. Although I have houseplants to help me hang on, it's just not the same.
ReplyDeleteHearing the little spring peeper frogs, and seeing the wood ducks in the trees!! Only in spring time do I get to see the ducks in the trees!!
ReplyDeleteI love all the blooms from the flowers and trees.

I like all the baby birds.
ReplyDeleteForgot to say from Charlene
DeleteI love the forsythia blooming in spring. In northern virginia we have plenty of forsythia bushes and every year I enjoy their yellow blooms.
ReplyDeleteDaffodils. A reminder of hope for those who fight bravely against cancer.

The thing I like most about spring is being able to get out with the grandchildren for walks and there are no bugs yet. I know that this is short lived but I enjoy that the most, getting outside in the fresh air and enjoying the day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity in this contest would love to win.
