I had been pondering for a while what to do with the Froggin' Yarn. Very much not a color I'd ever pick myself and the pattern seemed too busy for such an already busy yarn. I found this Swirl Sock pattern a few months ago and thought it would be perfect, and I finally got around to winding the yarn and casting on this week. I had the sport weight so it was a very quick knit!
I have a lot of leftover yarn and I think I'll be making something for my 18 month old nephew with it. Probably more appropriate :) Though I am happy with how these turned out!

Lily of the valley
My favorite flower is the Lily of the Valley. It's a French tradition to buy sprigs of lily of the valley ("muguet") on May 1st, which is also Labor Day, as it brings good luck for the whole year and marks the arrival of spring.
I love the smell of this flower and am always looking forward to the few weeks when it blooms. We bought a house last year and I was happy to see that there are lots of them on our tiny garden patch!

birthday lilacs
Lilacs have always been my favorite flower because although they bloom in spring everywhere else, in Alaska, they bloom between my moms birthday and my birthday in June. Just about a week apart, I always looked forward to the week where we could smell them and enjoy them for my birthday. The very smell brings back the sweet memories of celebrating the summer birthdays. In winter in Alaska, that's a nice memory to bring up. It's more than just a favorite flower, it's a lifetime of memories!

Favorite Flower
Hyacinths are my favorite flower! I don't know if its the fragrant smell, the gorgeous colors, or that they always seem to be a sign of Spring for me, but I just love them! In the spring, I always have hyacinths in the house and the aroma is amazing!
I've loved everyone's flowers so far!!!
Happy Knitting!

Thank you
I haven't responded to this post yet because I just can't pick a favorite. It's like asking me which of my kids I like best! I just love, love, love flowers. Everyday I check this blog and everyday is a pure joy to see all the photos of the different flowers. I just want to thank all of you who have taken the time to post comments and such beautiful pictures to brighten my day!
