It\u2019s spring. The daffodils are out! Cheery (and local and cheap!), daffodils were my wedding flowers, so they hold a happy place in my heart. Here in the UK it\u2019s been a cold and slow-to-start springtime, and still hasn\u2019t warmed to my satisfaction (although extended opportunities for the wear of sweaters and woolly socks is an upside!).<\/p>\n

When springtime comes, I tend to explode with ideas for lace, and I love to knit in bright bright colours! This one is no exception, although I\u2019ve had to rein in my lace loving side.\u00a0 We are deep in the depths of completing a new colourwork collection, which is VERY exciting, but also requires so very much knit, knit, knit, think, think, think, work, work, work. I did recently manage to fit in something lacy for a spring wedding… here’s a tiny sneak peek!<\/p>\n

Are you knitting lace this springtime? Fancy an adorable sweater for you, or a matching set for you and a little one? I designed Lush before I was even THINKING of babies, but when I began to think about little ones, I knit a teeny tiny version of the jumper in anticipation.<\/p>\n

Some years later I was able to get the obligatory Mum & Daughter shots of me and Neve in matching sweaters! For all the designs that Alexa and I have published, most of which are sized from baby to big, we really haven\u2019t made very many matching jumpers for us and our kids!<\/p>\n

Neve\u2019s Lush cardigan is made in Sweet Fiber Merino Twist DK<\/a> in \u2018something blue\u2019 and mine is in Rainbow Heirloom Sweater<\/a> in \u2018favourite aunty\u2019. They\u2019ve both been favourite items for both Neve and I to wear!<\/p>\n

What are your favourite lacy spring knits? Are you a shawl knitter? Perhaps a lacy sweater?<\/p>\n
