the waves of warmth...
that strongly through the land are radiating, spreading
proclaim that we...
to glorious, golden days of summer-sun are heading.
'be filled with light!'
my spirit understands these words which nature everywhere is showing.
'let thoughts take flight!'
my heart is told: 'be never earthbound but be always changing, growing!'

one other older project i also wanted to add to my ravelry notebook is this baby blanket that i made for maya when i was pregnant with her. i used a lovely silk/wool blend and knit it in a simple seed stitch pattern. very basic, but just what i was looking for. the yarn is extremely soft and luxurious feeling. maya still loves to wrap up in this special blanket that i made just for her...
yours in more special knitting,
shelley

here is another knitting project from many years ago that i wanted to share and add to my ravelry projects. the matching rainbow sweater vest to the gnome hat that i shared in my last post. again, both were made for my daughter when she was in her waldorf kindergarten. a few of the wonderful things about these kinds of vests is that they are simple to knit, fit great for years and work beautifully as that extra layer in cooler weather...
yours in more knitting projects from the past,

in honor of memorial day, i wanted to show you a few of my older knitting projects, as well as add them to my ravelry notebook. first up is this gnome hat from the children's year (one of my very favorite books). i knit this many years ago when my older daughter was in her waldorf kindergarten. i also knit her a sweater to match, which i'll be showing you tomorrow. this gnome hat is still a favorite after all these years...
yours in rainbow memories,
shelley

we have a little 'first' tricycle (which we've had for years, since the bigger kids were little) that maya has been riding for a long time now. it's a very well made little trike (made in sweden) and it has lasted beautifully through all of the children (and even their cousins, as well). maya has always adored this little yellow and red tricycle and ridden it practically every day. but now that she is 5 (and quite tall for her age), she was beginning to outgrow it...
so now that spring is here, maya's 'tita' (her grandmother) just bought this beautiful and big new tricycle for her! another extremely well made tricycle (this one from winther, in denmark) for 4-8 year olds. this is the viking 'big trike' and can be coupled with any of their little trailer attachments for even more play value (what fun!).
and as you can imagine...she is in heaven!
happy riding, everyone!
