Spring was a time of swaggering declarations.
Reaching autumn, one finds few absolutes.
Life is mystery and ambiguity.
Toward winter, that now seems agreeable and comfortable.

Before I continue, I just want to thank everyone for their kind words about my lost shawl. It means so very much to me to be part of such a supportive and kind community. Whilst I don't think Oh Canada will be coming home anytime soon….who knows….stranger things have happened. 🙂

I don't know about you but I am VERY tired of winter, and this is coming from a grrl who loves winter. It's been unusually cold up here and I think that is what has me more than the snow.
The one thing that always helps me come this time of year is playing in the dyepots and coming up with new colors. Of course Spa gives me a great excuse to play as well. This year's new color is called "Pussy-willow". The silvery downy brown in this color reminds me very much of our little Springtime fuzzy friends.
One of the things that I DIDN'T do in my rush to get out of the house for Spa was bring an entire tote of BFL rovings full of new colors for Spring, so I listed them up on my website. Colors like:
Dream
and a few others.
I also put up a pre~order link for Maplewings. I am offering this beautiful shawl in 5 colorways, one of which will be Pussy-willow. The kits will start shipping once Anne's pattern is finalized. 🙂
Here's hoping that Punxsutawney Phil was wrong and Spring is just around the corner, but until then, we can fill up our world with color!

I too am ready for a little springtime! I just ordered the Maplewing kit, and although I had originally planned on getting the New England Red I fell in love with the Pussywillow. I hope you have more spring colors on the way!

I think I may be one of those people that is OK with winter still being here. We just got home from having so much fun skiing as a family.

Beautiful new color! I went to pre-order the shawl kit….. Is the price correct for the petite size? Smaller, less yarn, but more $?
I just wanted to be sure before I ordered.

Color is the best way to fight winter. (And I’m so tired of winter that I’d like to go after it with a big orange stick…)
Maplewings is so stunning! Your colors make it fly.
