Rainbow spring flowers

April 13, 2014 by The Twisted Yarn 18 Comments

You’ll know by now that I have a bit of a fing about rainbows. But if you saw my last post, you’ll also know that I’m picking around with lots of little projects at the moment so don’t (yet) have any major new knitted housey-ness to show you. Actually I’m taking a mini-break from the house-colouring theme of this blog to knit jumpers for the toddler twinnage in many shades of lovely Adriafil Knitcol. But I’ve been thinking about rainbows, too, in particular the beautiful spring flowers that are all around here at the moment. Look, I made a collage, just for you. All these flowers are either in my garden or photographed locally Β and I just might have sneaked a camera into the local garden centre to nab the greens because I couldn’t find them anywhere else.

rainbow spring flowers :-)

Given that this village was traditionally at the epicentre of the cherry-growing universe, I really should get out and photograph some of the gorgeous blossom round here at the moment, but in the meantime, enjoy the rainbow.

More knitting on its way…

    Love this post. It is an early autumn morning here and the sun is peeking through. Your rainbow of spring will have me smiling all day thank you.

        Just turning now. Love the rustic colours of Autumn. The other thing I love about autumn is playing among the fallen leaves. πŸ™‚

    spring has really intensified her show at our neck of the woods, everything is so bright and fresh, the hues of green are so welcome after such a soggy winter, the lighter nights the warmer weather ahhhh bliss πŸ™‚

      Yes, everything’s so beautiful at this time of year, isn’t it? (I still feel as though we haven’t had a winter, though.)

    What a neat idea! And everything looks so showy and fab–it’s a welcome sight. I am just, finally, beginning to see tiny hints of foliage beginning to peek out so it’ll be awhile before we have blooms like yours. So glad you posted them!

    Love the rainbow collage! Winter and Spring are duking it at here in Kansas. Hopefully Spring will win soon and let some flowers grow!

    Beautiful,nice and uplifting, especially as we got 3.1″ of snow early on Tuesday morning, and that was after a few days spent on the right side of 20C! We were on the cusp of Spring!!! I have to say, Northern Michigan is known as the cherry capital of the world, but now a little village in rural Oxfordshire is challenging for the title, lol!!

    That is a very cool picture! Rainbows are nature’s way of saying “I do more than just dark and light!”

Kittens sitting in the crocheted garden.

Another crochet-to-the-rescue post! Two days ago I had more surgery, to deal with the outcome of previous cancer-tackling surgery. They installed a clever wound-vaccuuming device which was fine but inconvenient to carry. So I crocheted a device-carrier and now, life is so much easier! Yarn by @stylecraftyarns .

Whilst I recover from surgery, I'm knitting another Γ„kΓ€slompolo cardigan (that I designed for @novitaknits yarns) because I want one to keep! Just started the armhole steeks. The thing about having a rubbish memory is that every instruction comes as a surprise, even though I wrote it. 
.
Pattern currently available in Finnish in the Novita magazine, but I'll be allowed to publish it in English in a couple of months' time.

The steeks are cut and it's beginning to look a lot like a cardigan (apart from the lack of sleeves, collar, button bands, buttons, and a really thorough blocking, but what's a few details between friends?) I'm excited that the knitted reality is coming out pretty much how I hoped when I created the design. Feel free to laugh at my hubris when it all goes wrong tomorrow...

You can enter the name of any yarn and it'll give you the best possible substitutions with a % match score based on gauge, texture, fibre, etc. See https://yarnsub.com and enjoy!

Crunching numbers for a pattern for @stylecraftyarns . Crunch, crunch, crunch. I love-hate this stage.

Just got home from a really intense work-day down the psychology mines, only to discover these wonderful socks that the ever-awesome @buttonspickles knitted for me. They are very beautiful and very cosy, and the yarn is the colourway that I designed for Stylecraft, i.e. Head Over Heels in the shade 'Saltaire'. (I don't think Stylecraft sells it any more.) But these socks are just perfect and I love them and I'm feeling very grateful for my friends. ❀

Decent weather for a run. Yes I do occasionally put my knitting down. The colours of this view are a statement, too.

New blog post at thetwistedyarn.com, or see link in bio. 1084-mile charity run DONE! (Hmm, not sure whether it's loading for you, but I'm only getting everything up to the previous post - 'Rollercoasting' - when I look. Strange...)

The twinnage still like to stretch their creativity on 'the chair'. ❀ I'm worried that this chap is repairing the chimney whilst the fire is lit and smoke is emerging!

Reworking the 'Falling Leaves' cowl in yarn that still actually exists, and it's nearly done. Free pattern will be landing in a blog post near you within the next week or so.
