Before I get onto my WIPs, I'd like to mention the lovely Easter craft along hosted over at Suzanne's blog and also to remind you that there are just a few days left to enter my final Blogiversary Giveaway sponsored by The Knitting Goddess and Tiny Owl Knits. I have been astounded by the number of entries so far and for the lovely comments left. Thank you all!

There has not been much knitting.
The little bit of knitting I've managed has been full of colour, texture and pattern....
KNITTING: Spectra by Stephen West
YARNS: EasyKnits Splendor in Flamingo (50% superwash Merino/50% silk)
& Noro Silk Garden Sock in S304 (40% Lambswool/25% Silk/ 25%Nylon/10%Kid Mohair)
ALSO KNITTING: Bunty Mitts by Ella Austin from Knit Now magazine
I finished last week's book, The Fourth Awakening, on Monday. It was a bit of an odd book - you can read my thoughts on it on my Goodreads page. Last night, despite having several things queued on my Kindle, I started reading a sample of The Hunger Games. I've had so many recommendations for this series, and despite my initial reservations that it would be The Running Man for kids, enjoyed the first few pages - it's likely that I'll download it and continue reading it next.
Wow your spectra looks amazing! Wonderful colours!
ReplyDeleteLove watching your shawl grow. The Hunger Games is in my queue to, can't wait to hear your review.
ReplyDeleteOh wow but that shawl is gorgeous! I love the colours. I liked the Hunger Games, I hope you do too.
ReplyDeleteYour spectra is so so cool! I'll get around to the Hunger Games eventually.. I do like me some young adult fiction.
ReplyDeleteThat Spectra is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThat's my worry about The Hunger Games too… somewhere between the Running Man and Battle Royale. But it's supposed to be very good!
Very Beautiful!! I love the colors of Noro - so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteI think your shawl is breathtaking- the colors are so vibrant. I love Stephen West patterns. I am so glad you bought up The Running Man reference- that is why I haven't read the books. I look forward to reading your review.
ReplyDeletewow your shawl is beautiful, the colours are so stunning!!!
ReplyDeleteWow Sarah, your knitting takes my breathe away, it is just stunning! You are a beautiful knitter!
ReplyDeleteHappy yarn along.
Wow that will be a splendid shawl!! I love the vivid pink!
ReplyDeleteSuch fun knits!
ReplyDeleteThe colors in your Spectra are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love that Spectra!! I want to have a go at the Bunty mitt...I've never done colour-work though so I might end up regretting this decision!
ReplyDeleteYour Spectra is coming on a treat! I totally love your mitts they are so funky.

I love the colors of that Spectra!
ReplyDeleteI love Noro Silk Garden Sock (it's amazing), and I LOVED Hunger Games! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteBoth those projects look great, and I love how the spectra is turning out. What fabulous colours!
ReplyDeleteI really like that that you use a solid pink and a multi color yarn for your spectra, it looks really good together! Looks like the fair isle knitting is going smooth too.
ReplyDeleteOh, wow! That Spectra is to-die-for! Those colors! It looks so modern and hip. :)
ReplyDeleteThat spectra is absolutely stunning! Wow! I love the mitts too :)
ReplyDeletebeautiful knitting, such pretty colors and patterns!
ReplyDeleteOh love love love that noro! such a lovely color combo. I just read The Hunger Games myself. My daughter was really into it and wants to go to the movie so I'm reading the series as well. It's a quick easy read that I enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteYour Spectra continues to amaze me, and those mitts also look like they're working up nicely!
ReplyDeleteBoth projects look wonderful so far! Spectra is so colorful and awesome. I like the Fair Isle of that mitt.
ReplyDeleteI'm still a bit doubtful of Hunger Games but my husband told me it's more romance than guy action killing.
Love the spectra!!! The colors are stunning!
ReplyDeleteThat is a book I have also seen about, and I haven't been sure about it. I have plenty to read at the moment, so I will be interested to hear what your opinion is of it.
ReplyDeleteThe spectra is looking amazing!! You have a great talent for things!
your spectra is so bright, I love it!!
ReplyDeleteThe mittens look like they are going to be so cute. I love the colours in your spectra. Jacinta
ReplyDeleteI too have just started out on the Hunger Games. Not far enough to give a verdict yet, but we'll see. Your Spectra is amazing.
