Teeny, tiny stitches is where I am at the moment. The weather hasn't been that inspirational, photo-taking wise, and if I'm being perfectly honest, even when the sun is shining after a day at work I'm more than happy to sit on the couch with my magical meditation sticks (knitting needles to some) and knit a few more rows of this or that. Clickity-clack go my needles and thumb, thumb goes the bump. Both make me smile and with legs the size of elephants and a head full of hayfever this is pretty much as good as it gets.
The end result of all of this sitting, meditating and cosmic nourishing has been a lovely little 'take home' outfit. I've knit the jacket pattern a few times before - it's Twinkle, Vintage Cardigan if anyone is interested in that kind of thing. And the little hat is the Lotus Hat. It's a pain to start but the teeny tiny stitches blossom (no pun intended) beautifully after blocking, so much so that I'm thinking of knitting up another one in white.
Edit: And in a spot of internet organisation that has been missing around these parts of late, I'm linking up to Lisa's Creative Exchange today. Yippee!

Thanks so much for sharing this today Calre.
wow! what a darling little outfit! I love the hat with the textured pattern. you are so talented!
They're absolutely beautiful. My favorite thing about knitted items is that they become treasures passed from one generation to the next. I love that. You did such a beautiful job with these, Clare.
i love that hat! and so cheerful in yellow!
Despite the weather not being great, you have the perfect sun color in your knitting. :) I love how knitting can replace gorgeous weather.
The most adorable hat EVER! I love it...I would like one in black or red...yes red. I love the photo and the way you put them together too...really, I would think those little stitches make for great macro shots! I also just love the sound of the clicking of the needles...there is something comforting about it. Pretty post.
You do beautiful work. I also knit and appreciate the love that goes in to such things.
oh i just love the colours, the perfect little outfit to come home in.
