No sight into our grassland

Yes, our garden is green - mainly green

and no sight down onto the lawn which is more or less a pasture, a meadow

Help from the saw and DH

and one branch is cut off -

I am sitting in the shade of the peartree - you can see the shadow

We had 37° in the afternoon. 

This photo was taken in the morning at about 10 am

It is a lovely place to knit - in the shade 

I am starting from the beginning with my cardigan - from top to bottom and 

I am now using the description for XL - L was too tight - imagine - my size is M.

This time I did no "tinking" (knitting backwards) but unravelled everything.

And this was done in about one hour - a very short time compared with

the six weeks of knitting which I spent.

But never mind.

I had to wind the wool with a "winding machine" - which son G. made for me ca.

35 years ago - Soaking and drying took one day.

Lets say the first try was practising. I am sure to make less mistakes in future.

But now I need something to relax.

Fabric beads are the solution - I used silk from scraps of blouses which I

made two decades ago - I bought it myself in China !!! It is very precious to me.

The variegated perlé for the crochet bauble is from Stef Francis.

The blouses are totally out of fashion - but I can't separate from them, oh oh.

I dyed the apple-green silk myself.

I wish you a wonderful summer week.

Blue bauble

A new one

 

made of a tiny scrap of liberty fabric

hanging in the bush

 

I added one more pendant

 

 

 

and I tried stumpwork

 

 

 



WOYWW - 202 --- woollen blanket - new bauble

I got this far with my blanket
I am knitting about 10 cm each night looking at TV
Then I am bored and I go on next day.

You could stop on over at Julia's Stamping Ground click here
and have fun to look at many lovely ladies' workdesks on Wednesday
That's WOYWW

 

Please admire my "points"!! I think they are wonderful
and give the special extra to this blanket

of course it is slow to knit
the hanging little thing makes counting easier
I made it myself

And this is on my workdesk today - Wednesday
can you guess - a new bauble in a Liberty fabric with
a uni blue bottom. I found this little scrap in a scrap bag - really very little - but large enough
for another bauble.
And always with Angelikas needle book (it is always with me, hi Angelika if you read this) 

It really looks that awful when I am working
but I am on the terrace with my little ironing board
(thank you Queeniepatch for the hint with the tablet)

 

 

It is beginning like that...

Sewn over thicker paper shapes


 

Assembling with tiny stitches

The photo is from my iPad - not good, not good!!

But so easy to take...

Bye bye
