It sure has been one long, hard winter!  But, if you can believe it, we’re just two weeks away from spring.

This morning’s view of my deck.

While Mother Nature is apparently still enthralled with winter, someone else has been busily focusing on the colorful, lively season to come:

Nordic Easter Egg, a knitting pattern PDF by Mary Ann Stephens. Available directly through the designer’s online shop.  Also available through Ravelry.

The pink version of my new “Nordic Easter Egg” knitting pattern uses two shades of Dale Baby Ull yarn: off-white and fuchsia. The purplish-blue version uses off-white Baby Ull for the background and lupine Mulberry Meadow, a new, variegated superwash merino / mulberry silk blend, for the motif.  Of course, you can use any two colors your heart desires. Each egg is about 3″ tall.

Off-white Dale Baby Ull + lupine Mulberry Meadow.

Have a very HAPPY EASTER!!
