Around the Corner

March's sketch.
I feel like Spring is right around the corner.

Tea time

Here's my February sketch. It's a nice sit down with some tea. The best for a cold day especially when I'm with my significant other and we're watching movies together. :)

Too Cold

When it gets really cold and pullovers, cardigans, shawls aren't cutting it... nothing does the job better than a good ol' blanket.

I might think about knitting a large wrap. Something earthy with big cables all over it.

I know last year I thought about cutting back on my knitting time... but I don't want to. I love knitting. I am, however going on a yarn diet and I plan to only knit from stash. We'll see how this ends.

Informally formal

A new sketch for the new month. As I was drawing this, a line from the Pride and Prejudice movie starring Keira Knightley kept popping up in my head. The one where it's noted that Elizabeth's hair looks "positively medieval." I like that scene a lot. The formality, informality, and character interactions.

Scarf Sketch

Sketching away :)

I've been drawing some new art cards for my Etsy shop. I like this sketch but I also might wind up erasing it so I'm posting it here before I decide what I'm going to do with it.

Just a girl in a scarf by a tree. :)

All Wrapped Up

When did I become so yarn obsessed?

Sometimes I get too wrapped up.

Autumn

I just wanted to post an update as I haven't been keeping up with my blog. When I'm working on a project, I get so focused that I forget about a lot of other things. My latest project is re-knitting a cardigan I made where the sleeves were a bit too big.

It's really lovely sweater weather right now, too. Whenever I break from work, my eyes love to turn to my windows where I have a view of some gorgeously autumnal leaves.
