Missing 

All Things Bright and Beautiful

Felicity had the most amazing side bar of blogging tips & techniques.

I used her tips & techniques often after I jumped headfirst into blogland.

You can find some references to her blogging tips at 

Hidden In France

another great blog.

I am sorry ATBB disappeared.

I hope she reappears.

I hope she is well.

Thanks to ATBB tips that were posted on Hidden in France

last January

I was able to construct the collage 

of Manos de Uruguay yarn

pictured above.

Does anyone else have Felicity's blogging tips saved? 

I love to knit.

As do some of my friends.

Look at the tabletop scene from our last get together.

Aren't those lambs darling?

We get together about once a month from Sept to May.

This year we decided to each work on the same project.

We are each going to make a four seasons throw.

It is made with 12 squares, each measuring 12"x 12"

and joined together in strips of 3 with another color.

Each piece is knit in a different pattern.

Our plan is to work on the same square each month - 

that way we can all help each other when we hit the inevitable snafu.

Sounds like fun.

We are all using Manos del Uruguay yarn.

I decided to play around with the thumbnail sketches from purlsoho 

to create a collage to help me choose colors.

Do you like the combo?

The names of the colors are wonderful:

cheek - henna 

 cirrus - french blue

quail (for the border)
