Every now and then I like to do a little Flickr favourites hop. I start with an image that grabs my attention in my Flickr feed, then click over to that person's favourites, pick an image and check out that person's favourites, and so on, until I have a random but beautiful collection of images, that for whatever reason, have caught my eye.

I love to see themes emerge amongst the haphazard collection - navy, red and yellow tones, flora, craft, texture. I love the camera angles, filters, cropping, subject matter. Sometimes I click over to see their entire photo stream, or discover a new blog or shop. And each time I do this, I'm left feeling re-inspired to pick up my camera and capture my world in new and interesting ways. 

How about you?

I have spent way too much time this morning enjoyably browsing Ravelry and Flickr for baby sweater patterns. I have plans to crochet a tiny, warm little cardigan as a gift for a dear friend who is expecting. This has also resulted in a little bit of online wool shopping... 

I am still enjoying crocheting the hexagon blanket, which is growing bit by bit and of which I am still endeavoring not to share too many photo updates of, else this blog become a painful blow by blow description of the biggest project I have ever undertaken. But it will be nice to have a few more little projects to work on depending on my mood.

Anyone else making plans for crochet projects?
