Carole invited us to celebrate St. Patty’s day a little early with a list of 10 Favorite Things that are Green.
1. Remember this? My wedding shawl remains my very favorite green thing. Scout custom-dyed the yarn, and I put my heart into knitting this, my first big lace project. I wear it every year on our anniversary!
2. My house frog. He was waiting for me in the dirt that passed for a back yard at my Albuquerque condo. Now he sits on my studio windowsill, a reminder of one of my favorite homes.
3. Smitten Kitchen’s ribboned asparagus salad. Simple to make and so delicious!
4. The garden. We had a big melt this weekend, and I just know spring, and more green, are right around the corner.
5. Knitting. Well, it isn’t all green, but I use a lot of green yarn, and my Clover stitch counter is green. Yay!
6. Ferns. I like how they look, and I especially like encountering a mass of them while hiking.
7. My cross-country skis (the green ones, of course). I don’t mind putting them away for the season, but they are among my favorite green things.
8. My kind of cowl. I knit this for Rhinebeck 2010, and it remains one of my most-worn knits. Misti-alpaca is cuddly!
9. Baseball parks. Surprising, right? I’m not a huge baseball fan, but I do enjoy going to a nice ball park, admiring the green, green grass, and eating Cracker Jack.
10. Neal. Okay, he’s not green, nor is he a thing, but I’m listing him. I’m so proud of his commitment to protecting the environment and to helping others do the same. And what’s more green than being, well, green?
How about you? Favorite green things welcome!
My green eyes! I inherited them from my grandmother, and only my aunt and I have them.
I love that pic of you and Neal….It’s beautiful and captures both your spirits so well…

LOVE your wedding shawl!
Great green list! Happy ToT!
This is a great list! That shawl? yummy!!! And yes, if Neil’s green? He is tops on the list, no doubt (I usually save the best for last, too)!
(((hugs)))
This is a wonderful list and I love that you included Neal!
Love your list!
Your list is tops and how I wish my cc skis were green as well because they are my favorite too! My snowshoes are green but they don’t top the list like the skis! And Neal – that is the best.
I love #10 as my mind immediately went in that direction first when I saw the topic this week. A wonderful list, Beverly!
I love your green list so very much! What wonderful greenies! (And that wedding shawl? Oh. My.)
