We have had several foggy mornings here this week, above was the view from yesterday. This morning it is clear and SUNNY and I am so happy it is Friday!!
I am linking up with Rachel today for her Fibre Friday! The sock knitting continues, as does the drop spindling. I work on one at night when I watch a bit of television and the other when Sherman goes outside.
I hope to have the sock finished by Monday, and I only have 4 more bits of fiber to finish spinning, and at the rate I am going, completion by the end of the month is very feasible, especially since the weatherman says that there is more rain in the forecast, although there is supposed to be some sun on Sunday!
My poor garden is so waterlogged and the grass is growing so rapidly that we Steve is mowing twice a week. I have some flowers to get planted and my poppies are filled with buds this year! We picked up a Tri-color Beech that we will get planted in a new bed that we Steve has dug up. I will move some things around into there to fill in the space. It is a slow process to get gardens in order!
I do have some fun links for you this week:
It is never too soon to start the prep work if you are planning to Tour de Fleece!
Ysolda brings us Bruntsfield and it is just lovely!
Staying with the “Y” for just one more – Ysabel
Headlands is another divine Design by Romi
Bristol Ivy shows us how to miter a sweater in two offerings: Waits and Newsome
Short-row chic (oh and it’s free!)
Kate Davies has something new The Book of Haps!
Knitting One Sock in the MDK Sock-Along? How about 2 half socks?
Or maybe you are more adventurous – how about toe up with cables?
12 Days of Christmas Mitten Garland KAL is a thing, and FREE! (There are a mere 218 days until Christmas, in case you were wondering!) Or, if you’d really rather an Advent Calendar made from Mittens
This is not new, but really, I think that Vicki of Knitorious needs to make this for her darling grandson!
Lastly, I found a recipe for a yummy looking cocktail that I think would work with White Zinfandel as well! Frosé
That is all I have for today, have a great Friday and an even better weekend – whatever your weather! See you back here on Monday!
P.S. Want to join the Summer Knit-Along? Everything you need to know is right here.
I see you like to use the royal “we”, just like my husband does! I tend to scowl when he starts sentences with “We should …”. Your flora photos are lovely, and I hope that when you get things planted, your neighbors keep their distance. I have white zinfandel and Campari so I’m going to make some wine cubes right now. Thanks, and have a wonderful weekend!
I will definitely try the WZ and Campari mix…and to echo Bonny, the florals are indeed lovely. With rain forecast for the weekend, my grass looks like the Amazon jungle; could use a Steve…the Christmas mitten KAL looks like a fun “someday/maybe” project. Thanks for all the fun links and enjoy your weekend, too.
Cheers~
I love that top photo. And yeah, Dale does all the outside stuff, too, but I always say we!
we are a wee bit watered down here, my husband has the fenced in part of the yard that needs mowing, but it rains! I am itching to cast on some new stuff and will soon!!
