Ravelry.com is by far one of the best websites around. A knitting and crocheting community full of patterns, photos, and yarn nerds from around the world. Not only a source of inspiration but also a means of organizing your projects, supplies, and joining groups in your community.

I found this pattern recently and just had to give it a try. Here are the results!





The colour is much more vibrant than shown (find me on Ravelry to see it better!), unfortunately it didn't translate here!

More new friends.

One morning I peeked outside the kitchen window and found these two scuttling about! No idea why they chose our backyard for their morning walk but there you go. Pictures out of focus due to general excitement and sneakiness.




So cute! (crafty posts coming soon!)

We have waged war against the starlings ever since we caught them ripping up the fuschias! Evil evil birds!
