Spring arrived!

Every year I am happy when winter is over and spring arrives. This year we didn't have much snow and cold, but we did have dark days and I hate getting up when it is still dark. Since december last year I follow a course in Utrecht (once a week) and I have to travel there by train. At 06.00 a.m. I get up and I just hated it, being dark and cold. Yesterday it was't dark anymore and looking out of the window I saw the sun over the frozen fields.
In our garden our little tree is showing signs of spring too :)

I knitted not as much as I wanted, because I was away the whole weekend. But Idunn and And It Wasn't Even My Birthday are showing some progress. I didn't take a picture of the first one, but here is And It Wasn't ...

And I couldn't help myself starting a new project. Shadow. Here are the first needles. They look a bit messy, but it will be okay in the end.

Iðunn

After finishing Baltimore Bliss I felt the need to start something new. And so I casted on two shawls. Yes, two! First is Iðunn. I bought the yarn not long ago, it was love at first sight. The combination with the pattern that was shown was perfect, so I decieded to knit the same.

The second one is And it Wasn't Even My Birthday ... The yarn, pure silk, was given to me by a dear friend and I think the pattern I choose is perfect for the yarn. It will make a beautiful shawl. Meet the start of And it Wasn't Even My Birthday ...
