The apple trees are blooming. The backyard is perfumed in the late afternoon. Hopefully, we have lots of bees to pollinate them and give us food for the birds over the winter.
The weather has been crazy. We have had frost warnings with near freezing nights, after a couple of days in the high 20's. It's hard to know how to dress.
I started a shawl, when we first got Daisy and the Olympics were on TV. It was slow going, with a puppy to keep an eye on, so it pretty much got forgotten. Last week, I decided it was time to let it go, so I frogged it, and will use the yarn for a different shawl.
I started a new one, and it is going much better.
The pattern is easy to follow, and I'm enjoying it.
I've also been working on a new purse for me.
This is the front. I showed the alterations I was making to the pattern on my last blog. Things are mostly fitting together. It's amazing how the bright rainbow zipper just blends into that fabric.
I was asked for baby socks. I need to keep a pair in stock at all times, apparently. I discovered that I had started a pair, for waiting room knitting, that I had forgotten about. I'll finish them and start a new pair for the stock. My friends keep having grandbabies and great grandbabies.
I will close with Princess Daisy, sitting on her throne, looking very regal. The only thought in her mind is " I think I smell BBQ'ed chicken."
Daisy and I wish you a happy week.
Daisy you certainly look very posh sitting so upright and just the right attitude to be a royal. Dame Daisy maybe. Love the bag so far and socks, years ago when I was having huge problems sleeping due to medication side effects, I knitted tiny bootees for the prem babies at our local SC BU unit .Always so appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI'll be with you in apple blossom time.....Daisy is a cutie! A member of my quilt group has a stash of baby quilts, as her children's friends keep having babies. I don't think she is a knitter. I like your idea.
ReplyDeleteYour shawl is looking lovely and I am looking forward to seeing the completed bag. It was 32 degrees here on Monday - the previous Monday it was 12 and we had the heating on! I can't keep up, especially with what to wear. And as for the poor garden.......
ReplyDeleteMy ornamental apples are also in full bloom; my yard is buzzing with happy bees. As to weather, we are being taunted by Mother Nature (possibly in cahoots with the Creator) --- rolling dark clouds, promises of thunderstorms or showers for over a week now, and still NO rain!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is one cute dog!
ReplyDeletePrincess Daisy is just too cute!
