Well, I am enjoying
the season, warm, confortable to walk. The greens are so fresh and brilliant, wind is not chilly, well well. I love this season, and of course I enjoy knitting too. I don't know how it is going in the other countries, but in Japan, when the spring is coming, suddently many "seasonal" knitters throw their needles out and won't take them again until mid autumn. Oh Friends, you can now find out who is a "pretend" and who is a "real" Knitter!(or, just a yarn-a-holic like me...)
The other day, when I went out with DS first to visit a LYS which starts their special sale, on the way home (oops, I had scored some linen yarns at that sale, but no photo, sorry!)when he wanted to play in a park, I could let him do with smile because I had my Jaywalker with me! While he was enjoying to cring to a play gym, I settled down at the bench and knitted it. How confortable it was! I love it...maybe I should shout loudly in public, "Take your needle with you and just knit at the bench! Believe me, that's good for you!" or something. I know no one who knits in warm seasons around me. How sad.
BTW, do you wanna see my DS's graffiti?
One day he game me this. He understands so well abour his mom.
And for Gwen, I am yet knitting the back...
The color looks very gray-sh, but it is pale turquoise blue. The more I knit, the more I love this color...I am planning now when I complete the back, I will start the right front instead of left front. Gwen's most complicated and interesting part is right front, I need to concentrate quite a lot for it, so it is very intriguing for now, in knitting this boring biggest part.(though, you can say Gwen's back is quite "tiny"!)
For Electra, I sewed the body and one sleeve. Yes, one more sleeve....I will soon.
Now there is some NEW project ideas floating in my head: a cotton tank for MIL, and another tank with rayon-silk blend for a friend. I need more time!!

I'm so excited that you started Gwen! I really like the color. Your son's drawing is very good. An excellent bird's eye view of knitting. :) About knitting in the warmer months, how unfortunate to make knitting only a seasonal activity! I agree, there nothing more pleasant than sitting outdoors and knitting under warm sunshine. I wish I had a chance to do that more often.

The colors in Electra are so wonderfully vibrant. Beautiful!
I enjoy looking at your boy's graffiti; I bet he and my son would get along so well. My son likes to imitate me knitting, by sticking out his fingers and moving them in the motion of needles.

Your Electra looks great. I just cast on for the vest version - I hope mine looks as good as yours.
