Project Spectrum

I never really joined project spectrum and don't think I am going to knit anything up. But all of a sudden I noticed several items that fit the colors this month: Orange/Yellow. Probably because I LOVE orange. So I took one picture and then another and then another. More and more stuff kept popping out at me.

So all this stuff. Wow. We have my water bottle. I carry this with me everyday, everywhere! The lid on it is called gription and can be purchased from REI. I recommend it to anyone who has one of these types of water bottles (it doesn't have to be Nalgene brand).


You will also see my hand dyed yarn (it is much more orange in person. The yarn next to it is pink... for reference) and the napkins from our wedding in the background also pink yellow and orange! Also my teapot pin cussion. Yellow with brown flowers.

Then the carrot man. This legged/armed guy is from Kyle's crop. Kyle then carved a face on him. He likes to hang around the strawberries or the mixer!


Next is one of my yarn baskets. This I bought from JoAnns on clearance. It is all yellow, orange, white and green. Next to it is some tissue paper, also the orange/yellow/green/pink.


And finally. This is my tea kettle pot holder. My sister had one and I fell in love with it while visiting her. She let me know hers was from the stuff my grandma, Moner. I took all these pictures so I could make my own. I love the way it is open and just hangs on all the time. Perfect. Then I came home and went through my box, I had before but somehow I missed this gem! I dug it out and now it always hangs out on the tea kettle. I drink a lot of tea!! A LOT!!! Kyle and I just bought some chamomile. I don't know how to make tea with it, but once there is something there, I will be searching the internet and picking some brains.

I have been knitting a little, I am working on a pair of felted slippers for my mom for Mother's Day. I did a poor job of ordering yarn so they won't be done, but I will have something to give her!

However I have sworn off sewing until I am done with school. Only 5 weeks, I must focus. I do intend to keep knitting, but must also cut back on that. It will fly by!! I hope ;(
