April - Four of a Dozen

The month of April is often the first month you can bare the toes and walk in green grass.

 

It's the month of greening trees and melting mountain snow.

 

April is the month when blossoms appear on trees and in the flower beds.

April is the month when the young at heart find they want to try something new (everything old is new again). Details later.

New can be so invigorating!

[Laurie]

Lovely! Good toes. And it's the only place I'm seeing blossoms of significance. Alas.

[Carol]

Ah, a red toe girl! Those photos say pure spring! A crocheter too?

[Angie]

The perspective of the final photo is interesting. Are those balls of yarn as large as I'm imagining? Or does Thumbelina live at your home? :-) Lovely flower photos. We are still waiting for them in Wisconsin.....a few more weeks. *sigh*

[femiknitter]

Mmmm, your post is no nice and springy! Too bad it's sleeting here today--I'll just have to look at your pics and imagine I'm there!

[Carole]

No bare tootsies in the grass here yet. Damn.

[Stacey]

Nice to see your toes! Must be warming up over there.

If I wasn't traumatized by granny squares as a child... I might ask my mom to teach me. :)

[Lucia]

Maybe *you* can bare the toes. Send some of that spring our way, huh?

[susan]

I'll pay to see you crocheting those granny squares.

[Stitch-n-Snitch]

Maybe you could teach me to crochet as well? :)

[Lolly]

Oooh, crochet!
I can't wait to bear my toes - there were a few days there, then it got bitterly cold and rainy again :(

[Cheryl]

Love the contrast of those red tootsies in the dark green grass!

[Vicki]

Oh! You, too!!! Granny square mania is just sweeping right through the knit blog list, isn't it?
I bought my copy of Interweave Crochet over the weekend.
; )

[Rachel H]

Lush green grass. I'm so jealous.

[marie in florida]

i love the crochet; really it was my first love. i don't love the sewing together; or even the crocheting together.
however; i've made enough crochet hats to reach the moon.
i whish i had yarn pats big enough to make me look like Thumbelina; hehehe: good one Angie.

[Brenda]

Green grass, flowers, painted toes! I'm so envious. We're still fighting storms and snow and everything is brown. May is the month of green for us. Enjoy!

[Jennifer]

Yay for red toenail polish! I'm intrigued with the crochet...

[amanda]

I bought that very mag this weekend thinking of making that bag. Mind you, I've not crocheted since I was 5 or 6 when I a mad hooker of granny squares (for the Barbie townhouse of course). Can't wait to see your bag take bloom!

[Anne]

Crochet? Where WILL you find the time??

[Wool Winder]

It's nice to see the sun shining and the trees budding out. Spring has been a fickle season this year.

[Norma]

Ha, this weekend I kept seeing college guys walking in the falling slush in their flip-flops.

That final photo is a hoot. The little hand and arm, the GIGANTIC balls of yarn....

[Cindy D]

When is Little Rhody going to get blooms instead of raw weather and rain? Thanks for reminding us that spring is coming.

[Chris]

Green grass and bare toes... *sigh*

[Marcia Cooke]

Green grass? If I stuck my bare toes in our brown grass today, I'd get frostbite! We don't even have forsythia yet and I have only see a few very brave daffodils. It's been the WORST April I can remember! Thanks for the reminders, though. Crochet, eh? Don't neglect Emmy Lou!

[Laura]

Girl, are you making that bag? HA! I just bought the magazine on Saturday for that pattern. Were we actually seperated at birth? hehe

Ahh I'm having a great time spinning and knitting over the past few days and thinking of what yarn I want to use for the bag. I haven't even looked to see what's recommended by the pattern. Are you joining the KAL?

[Kristy]

I love the toes in the grass picture :) Have fun trying something new!

[Roxie]

I've been getting that crochet urge myself. Wonder if it's contagious.

Love the crimson toenails in the lush green grass!

[Kit]

Mmm, if only the midwest was not cursed with chiggers and razor sharp blades of grass. I'd love to walk barefoot, too. Ah but I can always live vicariously through friends. Enjoy the weather!

[Leslie Terry]

Beautiful pictures! I'm a red toe girl too. ;) I love that bag...maybe I will take up crochet again. I can't wait for your next post.

[Beth S.]

Crochet! Wow! You go, grrrl. ;-)

I envy your flowers, but we're catching up--I saw a magnolia in bloom yesterday. :-)

[Kelly]

is your grass really that green?????
Thats soooo sickening! Ours, when you can see if from the snow is all brown and straw like *humph*

[Marcy]

Stoppit, Margene. Just stoppit. We've got no green. We've got no sunshine. It's all wet and grey and brown here. What flowers we may have had got smashed under tons of slush and snow yesterday. So stoppit. Pleeeease?

[nova]

Hmm, I have a muddy lawn with not so much grass to speak of. I love that first shot, a promist of things to come in the northeast.

[lisa Co. Springs]

Great photo's Margene. Can't wait for spring to finally SETTLE in here :)

[Leah]

Cool! Are you joining the party that Lynne and I are starting? We are going to tote our grannies together!

[Kim]

sigh....that grass is SO green. It will be a long time I fear before we see grass.

I LOVE that bag. I have a daughter that would just be thrilled to carry it. I'm thinking about picking up my crochet needle again too :-)

[Kelly]

Beautiful pictures! I'm hoping we'll have warm enough weather to bare our toes soon!

[Rachel]

I had to laugh at the last picture, because I've finally succumbed to the granny square frenzy showing up on craft blogs. I taught myself to crochet the other day so I could make some, and now I'm addicted and I can't stop! I can't wait to see how yours look.

[Teresa C]

I've been dreaming of crochet squares in Kidsilk Haze. Yummy. I can't wait to find out what yarn you are using, the colors are great.

[Sue]

Your pictures are gorgeous...and reminds me that yes, spring will be here too in a couple of weeks. (Only I don't think our grass EVER looks that green!!)No matter...I'm ready for spring!

[Katherine]

Is that the bag from the new IC? Because I like that one, too. You are NOT too old to be retro.

[Mia]

Your grass and bare toes make it look nice and warm in Utah. The photos are nice here today since it is cold, windy, and gray.

And are you giving crochet a try?

[Kathleen]

You're gonna hook?

[Jane]

No bare toes here yet, either, but those yarn colors are just fabulous (as are your photos.) Our flowers seem to have all gotten killed by the Easter weekend below freezing temps. Poor things came out about a week too soon.

[Chrissy]

I'm glad to see you are embracing spring!

[Pat K]

Don't you dare get me started on something else.

[Pat K]

Don't you dare get me started on something else.

[ann]

what is that?! I love those squares!! details please!!

[Birdsong]

Looks like a good project for some of your fine handspun...

[Lauri]

I saw that pattern and pic and was also tempted! I can't wait to see yours! (I'm trying to resist the temptation, I already have too many projects)
