The end of the birthday flowers

In a rather unusual turn of events, I got TWO bouquets of flowers for my birthday last week. I brought them home from work with me on Friday, and managed to take some pictures before they wilted.

I also dicovered the digital macro function on my camera: ooooh... super-close-ups!

I realized that most of my flowers match March's Project Spectrum colors: pink & red! So I'll be featuring a new flower photo each day this week to send out Project Spectrum in style!

 

I mentioned in my last post that I got a gift certificate to my LYS, Simply Fibers.  I picked up this Cascade Quattro (Cascade 220 with multi-colored strands) on sale (I actually have 4 skeins, but they kept falling over.)  I think the yarn show owner is trying to make room for more summer yarns, so I bought all there was in this color.  Any good ideas on what I can do with 4 skeins of Cascade 220?  I'm thinking possibly a sweater vest for my husband?  (Can anyone pull those off anymore?)

I also got a Addi Natura for the upcoming Sexy Knitters Club KAL - Orangina!  I have never tried this type of needle, but I love Addi Turbos and it was $2 cheaper than the Turbo, so I figured, why not?  Last but not least, I found this pretty little skein of bamboo yarn!  I think there's enough orange to qualify it for an April knit in Project Spectrum.  I'm planning on using it to make Bamboozelle - a small knit basket from the latest Winter 05/06 Knitty, perfect for jewelry or other small items on my bedside table.
