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.
