04.10.2006 :: Project Spectrum, April
Project Spectrum for April is, as you may know, orange and yellow. It appears that I do not have much in this color around my home. Perhaps it's time to right this wrong. Such happy colors. Colors that evoke the feeling of spring. I did take a little walk in and out of my home and this is what I came up with.

Fig's dish. One of them, that is!

My April Project Spectrum project. A project that I need, may I add, like a hole in the head. I have plenty of projects on the needles. Even more on the brain. But this one snuck itself right onto the free US1 needles, before I even knew what had happened. The yarn is Scheepjes invicta colors, colorway number 1713. Perfect for this orange month, don't you think? A big re-thank you to Terri for gifting me with this lovely yarn. It's a sock, in case you didn't recognize the signs. And I was trying to do an eye of the partridge heel. Look at the bottom of the picture and you can see the beginnings of that. I do believe that heel will have to go. I can't, for some reason keep track of which row I'm on. I know. It's simple enough, but for some reason it challenges me beyond belief. Today.
Orange and Yellow. It's good for what ails you.

Huge thank yous to all of you who fawned over Fig. As my kids often say, "He is the man!" He sends out an affectionate rub to you all, I'm sure. And if you offer him Science Diet, he may just love you forever.

One of our own knitbloggers could use some words of encouragement and comment love. Go on over and tell Julia to keep fighting the fight. She's feeling low and needs extra bloggy love!

That sock is SO beautiful. Totally worth the extra project on the needles.

I am glad to see you are finally getting some blooms. Ours are almost all gone. The kudzu is still dead, though. Anyway, Fig is such a handsome boy, poor birdie.

Oh, I wish more people signed up with the bone marrow registry. I registered years ago and shamed Pete into doing it (actually, he shamed himself). Wouldn't you know, he was the one who turned out to be a near perfect match a few years back for someone suffering from leukemia. It was not an easy surgery, but they treated him very well at MGH and he was so grateful to be able to help someone else, you know?
Pretty pics, Sandy.

For some reason, I can never keep EoP straight in self-striping yarn. Solid colors I can do just fine, but something about those color changes tricks my eyes into doing all sorts of strange stitches - none of them EoP!

Thank you for sharing your own little spectrum, Sandy! what lovely colors! I love the cactus, and the sock is a real beauty too. Can't wait to see more.
Thanks again for being part of this Project! :)
Best wishes,
Lolly

Lovely pictures! And I really like the colors in your sock. I can't keep track of EoP heels, either...

Love that sock yarn colorway! How do you know what the 'project spectrum' is for April? Where do you find such info and did you make the pretty button? If so how? Where? (sorry, i'm having my three yr-old 'why' moment now)

Oh my God - I love that sock yarn! And your orange photos, too.

The sock colors bring to mind fruit and spring and sherbert, but not in a neon way. In a fresh, clean, soft, spring is here sort of way.
Lovely. :)

That is fine colorway of sock, right there.
