Knitting a log cabin version

To occupy my fingers in the evenings in front of TV I am knitting a blanket again. I am making separate blocks and will sew them together when I have enough and when I see how far my wool is running.

 

I have four different colours - they were sold together and ment for socks. I like all the colours. Knitting the center does not need much wool and so the different colours can't be seen well and create a totally different design. I started with the small purple square then added the striped light green one and I will go on like this not doing light and dark, just as I like it - I take care not to let meet the uni colours. Five colours would have been better. But I am "stranded" in the renovation house .....

where the entrance is looking like this.

 

 

The Villa

I invite you to have a peep through the gate where in the very near future DH will spill his energy to update an old but wonderful house.

You can see a lot of rusted gate, the paint going off. It will be cleaned and painted. The gate is charming .....

And it is long .... it will keep him occupied....

don't lets talk of the inside (of the house)

and I.....

.....should be sitting here in the sun and do some stitching or sewing,

but more likely I will have to lend him a hand ----  hands, one will be not enough.

The table and the chairs are not ours.

The garden swing might be left for us by the former owners.

You will understand why my creations will diminish more and more to a very small scale.
