Light, light, light, that is what I long for during the long dark and grey days of February and March. I love Sweden but winter here is VERY dark. But now it is spring and the sun doesn't set until eight in the evening and everthing seems so easy and wonderful :o) (even when it is raining, like now...).
In the spirit of spring we have been busy redecorating our house and also getting some new furniture. We finally got our new sofa delivered last week and it looks really good in our livingroom. It is seen here modelled by little E and with the new cushions. I am very pleased with the way it turned out.

    

After this taking thees pictures I got a little crazy looking for other spring/summer things to take pictures of. Suprisingly enough I got som help from A who acctually wanted to try on som of his new summer clothes. This is him beeing a "Beach boy" and also a pic of his new summery t-shirts.

      

and then I found this orchid...

     

it was fun playing around with the camera as well. I will try to do it more often I think but for now enough with the pictures and on to some knitting instead.

I have bought some new yarn over the past month or so. It is so easy just slipping in to a yarn store when I am out with the baby for a walk... and I have some FO's so I think I am alowed, don't you?
First of is some Rowan Tapestry that I thought might look good as I Clapotis. I haven't tried knitting with the yarn but I think the colors are just wonderful and would be great for a summer shawl.


   

Then ther is some cotton acrylic blend that I found at Garnverket the other day. It is a bit on the chunky sida but I think it would make a cute summer cardigan for E. It should be a quick knit if I can find a sutible pattern. I have some Rowan books that I think have what I am looking for but any suggestions are very welcome :o) The yarn is HP's Bellevue and it is 50 gr to 84 meters so as I said, a bit on the chunky side.

       

Another pastell colored spring project that I am working on at the moment is a feather and fan (yes, I am using the same pattern again, five mohair christmas scarfs was not enough!!!) shawl. I am using I yarn from Colinett I bought over a year ago that I haven' been able to figure out what to do with until now that is. I think t is turning out ok and it also gets the yarn out of my WIP basket which is always good ;o)
