Another panoramic view - the pool area. |
Cool, cloudy, has been raining but more or less dried up now, breezy. Hopefully the sun will come out soon and it won't rain again because after I've come back from school I want to paint another fence panel. Two done so far, four to go! If I get one more done today (it takes longer than you think) I'll be half way there. I have to say, the two that are done do look nice, even the parts done in my cack handed way - and thank you to Sonja and Milli for starting it off!
I enjoyed yesterday. Having decided that work was a no-no, I rested, relaxed, baked and cooked and knitted to my heart's content. I discovered another 'one to do regularly' recipe, made some half and half wholemeal rolls and a loaf which will will see me through the next week, got on with Alex's aran sweater that I am making and generally buzzed. Lovely!

The colour's not right. It's a lovely dark, warm cherry colour, not pink like this. |
Today, of course, things change. I will be in school later on this morning, notebook in hand, generally sorting, making, laminating, displaying, labelling, etc, etc. etc.
Tomorrow I have two meetings, possibly three.
Then home to do another fence panel, hopefully, weather permitting.
Wow! Joy that's beautiful, so intricate. Do you use a cable needle?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteI do for anything more than a one back or forward. I love aran knitting. It's actually remarkably easy, there's a discernible pattern that makes it very difficult to go wrong and it's satisfying! Alex seems to be pleased with the way it's developing too.

Beautiful knitting, joy - wow, Alex is going to be pleased with that, I am sure!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are well on track for having everything ready for school - amazing how quickly the summer break has gone by, but it sounds as if you have had a lovely one and that's great.
Well done with persevering with the fence, it'll look great when it's done - I wish we could have done more...
Have fun! S.xxx
Don't worry, it's not an easy job, is it? It will look great when it's done, yes. :-)
