I love this cool marled yarn in Andrea's (@readknitrepeat) #JustPlainSocks. She's already done the pattern a couple of times and is giving it a go on circulars for something different. Thanks for sharing, Andrea! (Check out her Instagram feed for more yarny and book-loving goodness.) . This is a #freepattern from my site at www.talenawinters.com/just-plain-socks. .

My oldest boy is 14 years old, but he still brings his mama flowers after a walk--and I love it. All the wild roses are in bloom right now and they smell heavenly. Stopping to smell this one was a wonderful break from my very long "to-do" list. . Whatever's on your schedule today, friend, remember to take a moment to be thankful for the blessings in your life. . #bethankful #wildrose #albertarose #seekbeauty #spreadsunshine #smelltheroses #lovemyboy

The best dad I know. I loved our family hike up Pat's Creek Trail today. Hiking with my men--perfect way to spend the day! Also, I'm a little embarrassed to admit that after living here for 11 years, this was our first time doing this hike. But we'll be going again! . #justmissedtherain #happyfathersday #myboys #naturehike #patscreek #gomightypeace #alberta

I recently had a #bookholiday in Melissa Keaster's new release, Eleora, aka "my new favourite fantasy book." Review on my blog today. www.talenawinters.com/wintersdayin . #eleora #amreading #books #bookreview #fantasy #inspirational #happyfriday

Chick day! Cuteness overload! . #chicks #chickensofinstagram #hobbyfarm #cuteness #cuteanimals

While visiting friends a while back, their kitty got very curious about my knitting. Fortunately, I didn't have to go rescue it. With the fingering-weight yarn of my Lady of the Lake Shrug, that could have been a disaster! . #curiouskitty #catsofinsta #knitting #catsandyarn #mswbtprojects #LadyoftheLakeShrug

Turmeric Golden Milk Tea is a lovely way to unwind after a long day of working outside. I find it so comforting and relaxing! (Knowing it's really good for me helps, too.) My favourite recipe is from delightfulmomfood.com. . What is your favourite evening beverage to relax with? . #goldenmilktea #tea #comfortfood #afterthework #timetochill #iloveyellow #realfoodie

Watching my kid play soccer and working on the Shrug That Shall Not Be Named (or, if I must, the Lady of the Lake Shrug.) Wonderful way to spend a Saturday. . What's on your needles today? . #LadyoftheLake #knit #knittingdesign #knitsagram #learningtosoccermom #mysecretwishbytalena #mswbtprojects

I took a walk through the woods with my son's class on Monday. Lessons learned from the trees have had me thinking about the impact of community on the grieving process. Check out today's blog post about it: www.talenawinters.com/wintersdayin "The Healing Power of Community" . How has your community helped you deal with loss in your life? . #trees #forest #grief #healing #community #aspens #alberta #peacecountry #writersofinstagram #inspiration #childloss

This little weed is trying to take over my veggie garden. I don't know what it is, but it's so pretty that it's hard to be resentful. Especially with the sun shining through it. Even weeds can be lovely. . Where have you found unexpected beauty recently? . #seekbeauty #spreadsunshine #albertagarden #garden #gardenersofinstagram #flowers
