Raise your hand if you remember Project Spectrum.

It was the 2006 brainchild of the ever-clever Lolly.  While I never participated in rounds 1-4, I enjoyed rubbernecking.

Lolly has revived Project Spectrum for 2011 and this time I’m in!  It helps that there’s now a Facebook page.   There’s a Ravelry group, too, with considerably more members but I find Facebook much more convenient for these types of things.

May’s color was red and I conveniently had some lovely red Zephyr on the needles.

The project is for a lace class I’m teaching at my LYS this summer.  The piece is a mystery for the class members, but if you click here you can see the finished project.

May, obviously, has come and gone.  June’s Project Spectrum color is green.  Once again, I found myself with an appropriately colored lace project.  This one is stashed in my favorite green knitting bag.

Green has been a particularly easy color given the incredibly (and unusually) wet spring we’ve had here in Utah.  It’s nearly July but the snow has barely melted off the road leading up my favorite canyon.

Today, after a hike to gawk at the near record runoff,

a friend shared some yummy garlic scape from her garden.

I promptly turned it into some pungent pesto.

The secret ingredient was this little green morsel.

July’s color is blue.

I’m thinking blue thoughts as I sit here at the Club in my green chair with the green cushion pulled close to the green table overlooking the green. . . . . . .

I can’t believe school’s starting in a little more than a week! DD makes her 2009/2010 cheerleading debut tonight at the Blue/Gold scrimmage.

Five On Friday

This week’s “Five On Friday” is brought to you by my cell phone camera.

Since last Friday, I . . . .

. . . started a new sweater:

. . . went to a baseball game and put the cup holder on the back of the seat to good use:
