counting down the days

Spring is coming....mind you the current outdoor temperatures don't reflect this, not does the snow falling elsewhere in the province.

Yet maybe this visitor  to our patio is a sign of spring. 

This month I've been working on a new knitting project.   So nice to make things from hand spun wool.

Also nice to try something new, punch needle.  My attempt at a hand drawn sunflower.  Again using hand spun wool.  I'm not sure that punch needle is really my thing.  Like anything, more practice needed.  The project morphed into a table mat of sorts. 

 

The addition of  fabric pieces and crochet edges became part of the mat.  And it's a wrap to the mat!
