Sunday Fun Day!
I finally got a start on my Shelley Summer Top using the lovely Bamboo Pop yarn I won from Nancyknit’s blog. I didn’t get a lot of knitting time today, so I wasn’t able to do a huge amount of it, but at least there’s a start 🙂
FO Close
And yet, FO far 🙂 I have about 8 rows of ribbing and the bindoff left before my Christmas in July socks are done – hopefully this weekend!
Plant Update
I have been knitting away, but it all looks kind of like it did the last time I took pictures – there’s just more of it now 🙂 So time for an update on the plants! It’s a little hard to see, but the avocado has spouted a stem with some tiny little leaves on… Continue reading Plant Update
Wednesday WIP
After a little bit of a false start last week ( I was doing the star trails AND the star stitches wrong), I am making good progress on my Half the Knit Sky shawl 🙂 There is just enough variety to keep it interesting, but it is pretty straightforward knitting. The star stitches were new,… Continue reading Wednesday WIP
Sock It To Me Monday: Christmas in July update

There are two ways of creating… Continue reading Virtual VK Live – And the Rest

Flower Update
Our flowers are continuing to do pretty well, though some of them are still not quite in bloom. The upstairs planters are filling out The hanging baskets are as well – the morning glories continue to put out a bloom here and there, though there are a lot of buds developing right now. The walkway… Continue reading Flower Update
What’s Next?
With Niazuma done, I only have a pair of socks going, so needed to start something else. I was stuck between a couple of options, and somewhat typically picked two things that weren’t even on the list! I am starting another sweater, the Shelley Summer Top, which I am making out of some yarn that… Continue reading What’s Next?
