The Project Spectrum is blooming like crazy!

Is anyone else as impressed as I am at the rapid pace that orange and yellow are taking over blogland? I love that people are taking on the challenge of finding beauty in colors that they might otherwise overlook.

I harvested some lovely red and orange bamboo yarn from my garden last weekend (I wish!) and I have already cast on for one of my Project Spectrum-themed projects this April, Bamboozelle. It's knitted basket, made using a basket-weave stitch pattern. I love how it is knitting up, but I have to warn you - do NOT make this project if you don't like to wrestle with your knitting. I feel like I'm really getting a workout - lots of knitting through the back of the second stitch of other craziness. I'll post a progress pic tomorrow.

Thanks for all the suggestions for what to make with my new Cotton Fleece I got from Julie, my not-secret-anymore Secret Pal. Unfortunately I come up with new projects for myself much quicker than I actually finish the ones I have. I start to get confused and make lots of mistakes when I have more than three projects going, so the Cotton Fleece tank top will have to wait.

The good news is I have almost finished the second sock for my sister! (It's a March & April Project Spectrum project - red & yellow!) So that means I get to start a new project soon.

For a minute I thought you had a yarn garden! Darn.

What a lovely colorway! It'll make a great basket.

The bamboo yarn looks gorgeous. Looking forward to a progress shot.

Hello from Austria! Oh, the Bamboo yarn is so beautiful, I'm looking forward to see progress photos of your Bamboozelle - I guess the yarn is perfect for that project! Have fun with it!
