Is the Sun
Sometimes (especially after a lot of ripping, er, design work) it's nice to just sit down with a fun easy pattern and fly along. Enter Juliet. This one has been in my queue since it came out; it's such a great layering piece. Now that we've had a real warm snap here (78 today!), I can easily start thinking of all the fun spring wear. Even though here in Texas we only take a dip in the winterish weather instead of a marathon swim, the feel of coming Spring still makes we want to twirl around.
Of course I know the true reason for the temperate weather is I just got a new coat that I'm totally in love with and thus it promptly got too warm to wear it. :) I know we'll have cooler weather before the inevitable summer heat wave and so I had to also immediately cast-on for a matching hat. I mean obviously.

Now THAT is exciting! Thank you for naming my blog :)
I was just telling mom that I wish (and have always wished) I was as talented at crafts as you!

Thank you for the mention!! I love that color (obviously.. its PURPLE!) and I think it will make a gorgeous Juliet. It got really warm here in Georgia as well - the forecast says 72 for today.
