Project Spectrum 2.0, here I come! (for this month's installment, anyway)
I suppose I have a million excuses for not taking part in the first round of Lolly's most inspiring Project Spectrum till now. But I also suppose that me whining is something the majority of you can do without.
Now that I think about it I haven't taken part in any knit-a-long type dealies for quite some time. Seriously, anyways. The main reason why this is because I have the attention span of a guppy. Oh, and I tend to freak out at the mention of "deadlines" of any sort and thus become the Overlord of the Procrastinators.
But Lolly is just so chill about everything, I feel zero pressure. :) And let me tell ya, I had some fun poking around the house and taking pics of all things pink, green, and yellow (April/May's theme).
The cherry quartz ring is a belated Valentine's Day gift alongside some cute fabric earrings I bought for myself a while ago from, uh, Urban Outfitters(?)
Cactus plant plush from My Paper Crane
A bouquet of daisies i got from the Boyfriend more than a week ago. They're a little wilted, yes, but damn yo, these flowers are still going strong.
I'm a big fan of a clean aesthetic when it comes to interior design so I tend to surround myself with a lot of neutrals. Mostly black and white. However, sometimes I like to go really nutty (!!!!) and buy throw pillows (black and white, mind you) with itty-bitty colored felt appliques on it to liven up my black and white bedspread. Wheee!
a painting my parents bought on my first b-day. Hey, some parents buy their one-year-olds toys, my parents art they found at some antique fair. Click here to see the inscription on the back.
and finally. . .
my project for Project Spectrum April/May: Ms. Oni Opera Gloves in Yarn Pirate sock yarn in "Culture Club." Thanks a bunch to Kate for letting me give her fabulous pattern a test run. Until I finish these gloves I think I'm gonna put all of my other knitting projects on the back burner.
Soooo, what things pink, yellow, and green have you been cooking up for Project Spectrum?

I absolutely love your Ms. Oni Opera Gloves! Great colors too. Do you know how/when the pattern will be available?

love those gloves - can't wait to see the finished item. Oh, also, still thinking about those herringbone socks in Vintage from that fab Jessie......

Hey, aren't you supposed to wait for the Yarntini yarn to make the gloves? Although I understand that you would have to cast on immediately!
