Just a few days left for the colour red and the direction south. I did finish 2 pairs of socks. So far I am on track for the year regarding a pair a month. The last pair is the peach, bamboo pair with Sunday swing pattern.
I tried on the knitted tank—yikes!! I won’t be showing any pictures of that. For awhile I toyed with the idea that I could wear it under a jacket. Finally came to my senses and thought I don’t need a bamboo tank to wear under a sweatshirt and undid a section of it and then laid it out against a sweater that fits a whole lot better. As I sit here and type this post, I think ripping it out and the doing a summer shawl might be a better idea.
I knitted a set of three bowls with a lively orange from Araucania nature wool chunky, so far they look like 3 weird hats for dolls. They still need to be felted.
It was so hard for me to enjoy the colour red to knit or sew with, I did enjoy some tomatoes from the patio.
Finally, I did knit a scarf for my sister, just a simple little number with a few garter stitch rows to break up the monotony of stockinette stitch.
I used 3 balls of Berroco Seduce in colour Cinnebar, 4445.
I think this is a balloon flower, it doesn’t last too long but it fun to watch it open up, like a little gift.
Heavenly perfume in the evening.
Trying out the macro focus on this hydrangea.
