Spring has (not) Sprung

It's that time of year when we've all had just about enough of this grey wet cold weather -- Spring promises to be right aroudn the corner but I can't help but feel like it's really taking it's time to arrive this year. Rather than get caught up in this dreary weather, I decided I would search from some inspiring Spring projects to jump start the season. My thinking is that if I start knitting and sewing in my favourite Spring colours, the grey skies outside will follow-suit and brighten up as well, or so I hope!

One of the firsrt places I always check out for new projects is Purl Soho's blog, The Purl Bee and they've just posted their favourite Spring projects here:

How adorable is this sparrow's nest!!

I'm also totally hooked on Stephen West's patterns at the moment, having recently finished his Flagstone Scarf (pictures coming soon, I promise!!). Next on my list his amazing book, Westknits, is the Daybreak pattern which you can also find on Ravelry:

I love that his patterns are unisex, and most can be work many different ways.

So untill Spring actually comes to the West Coast, I'll be inside knitting and (as usual) daydreaming about sunnier weather!
