April Color of the Month - Bláthanna
Bláthanna (blaw-hana) is Irish for flowers.
These are the sorts of colors I want to see after the long winter - magenta, pink, violet, periwinkle - pretty much anything other than snow or the color of dormant grass!
Crochetasaurus Rex CAL
This project has been in the making since June 2023 and I'm so delighted it's happening!
Ashley, from The Loopy Lamb, designed Crochetasaurus Rex especially for amigurumi novices, like myself, using hand dyed Highland Wool from Keenan Hand Dyed Yarn.

March Color of the Month - Éire
This color came about while experimenting. I wanted to mix greens and browns without it looking muddy. When it was all done, it reminded me of Irish farmland in the springtime with lambs frolicking. One day I went out for a walk while I was living in the countryside of Co. Cork. I stopped at a farmyard gate and lambs were going mental leaping all over the place. I was laughing at loud. The farmer drove up to the gate and asked me if I needed anything. This Chicago girl said, "No, just laughing at the lambs." He looked at me like I was crazy and drove into the farm.
February Color of the Month - Grá
Continuing with my Irish language names, presenting Grá. Grá (graw) is Irish for love.
I wanted to make a variegated pink and red skein, but wasn't sure how it work out. This turned out better than I expected. I grá it!
