Just a little green.....





It is feeling wonderfully springy around Mog Towers. I've been joining in with Lolly's Project Spectrum again this year and currently the colour theme is green. We have a lot of green going on. Green shoots and green fingers. The ladybirds are waking up, the gardening gloves have been dusted off, their fingers checked for errant spiders and it is nearly warm enough to sit and knit outside. As long as you wear three pairs of socks and a balaklava that is.

I've been spinning green for Project Spectrum, trying to gather up the colours of spring into a few hundred grams of yarn. Some purple and lilac have sneaked in too in honour of the crocus flowers who are one of the first blooms to make me smile each year.

Your Springy green photos are marvellous! Isn't it great to see the sun and the odd flower -they make me smile too :-)
I lost my way with PS ,but it's an apt time to start over.
You got any plans for the yarn yet?
