I’m working through Barbara Walker’s first Treasury of Knitting Patterns and making some swatches. I think I’ll make them large, with a bulky yarn and maybe turn the resulting swatches into a blanket someday.
Today it’s the Inverness Diamonds pattern using Berroco Vintage Chunky left-overs from my large cardigan.
Nice texture. Lovely pattern. Enjoy!

Yesterday was the first real ride of spring. The weather was perfect, and the Todd and I headed north up the coast for a bit, then across the Mayport Ferry, before heading back to Sippers and having some coffee. It was a great ride. I love the winding road once you get past the Zoo and Cruise ship terminals, and Herschel heads out onto blunt island. The views are fantastic, and it stays interesting all the way up to Big Talbot island. Todd is breaking in his brand new shiny bike. It’s pretty nice.

Enjoy!
