Today was a beautiful Spring Day - and I wanted to share some photos with my Blogger friends - I've already put them on Facebook, this way they'll hit the Twitter machine as well. It's been unseasonally warm, with the temperature outside today around 16 degrees C and yesterday 17 degrees. It was windy but sunny and cloudless skies - a real perfect day!
It's also Livia's first birthday and we celebrated it yesterday in Cork, and I'll post some birthday photos soon. She is a sweet baby and it was great to celebrate it out in the garden in balmy weather.

I went to
Fermoy this morning with teen daughter and her friend who were starting a week's work experience from school at the Creche there, where she went years ago when I worked in Fermoy. I went to Lidl and SuperValu for some shopping and then home, where I had a nice relaxing morning home alone with my knitting and read the papers from the weekend and today, and did a minimum of housework, like two lots of washing which are now dry after a few hours blowing in the brisk breeze, and making Shepherd's Pie for dinner.

| List of past participants in Immrama |
We just spent an hour in the polytunnel planting spuds and strawberry plants - and tidying up the ones from last year. Earlier I went down to the
Immrama office in the Main Street and helped hubby Jan with the window layout after we took down the
Devonshire Day posters and information. Time now to put up the info on the launch where the 2012 programme will be unveiled. That launch is on April 19th so I 'll be blogging that at the time. Continue to watch this space! There are some of my frilly scarves in the window in case anyone wants me to make them one, and our friend
Jane Jermyn, a renowned Lismore-based ceramic artist has a great selection of her work on display.

Tomorrow's the last day off before I check back into work on Wednesday, so I'll be off to knitting circle morning and evening sessions. There's a new
Ravelry group started by one of the knitters on the home of our Knitting Circle,
Angela's Design Workshop, so check it out here and join if you're on Ravelry. We plan an Exhibition in the Autumn, and maybe a bit of guerilla
yarn-bombing wouldn't go amiss either. Of course given its nature there's no point of broadcasting it in advance outside of the participants - we wouldn't want it sabotaged, now would we?

Yarn-bombing is kind of like organizing a flash-mob. There has to be some co-ordination but you don't want anyone to know. Good luck with that project!
Thanks for kind comment on mine. I didn't think about the transformation of the pattern to a new use. Even if I don't post the pattern on ravelry I'll write it up and send off to you. Not sure what my thoughts are yet.
Yes Stephanie that's great about the yarn-bombing etiquette - none of us were too sure about it and we're already planning to yarn-bomb different events locally over the summer culminating in our exhibition in November showcasing our special pieces of finished work! The Lismore Cable will surely get pride of place! Thanks for commenting and watch this space!
