Spring!

Last weekend we went to the Chinese New Year celebrations in Chinatown, not far from our neighbourhood. I forgot to post about it, but it was spectacular. The roads were blocked off, pedestrians were everywhere. Dragons were dancing in front of businesses, maybe as a blessing? There was something about lettuce, too - lettuce was strewn all over the streets. We ate some steam buns, moon cakes, and soaked it all in...





This week spring has sprung in our yard. The crocuses are up, the weather is gorgeous, and we were inspired to do a bunch of gardening. I can't believe our luck at inheriting such a fabulous garden, and am excited to see what else will come up.



In keeping with spring, several friends are due to have kids, so I've knitted up another batch of felted booties. They're quick and cute. Here they are before felting



And here they are after felting, steaming like little furry bread rolls, fresh from the washing machine. I finished them up after s&b at Kathleen's house this afternoon, hooray for s&b.
