As we approach the end of the school year here we always have a last minute burst of activity! So it has been quite busy here.
I have been able to make time for some crafting amongst all the dnd of term jobs.
I am making my way through Ease by Alicia Plummer. I am using some Malabtigo Rios that is variegated and so at points it looks like a completely different colourway. But I don't mind that - the top is casual anyway and I love the colours that are in it.
I'm nearly at the hip shaping so if I get some time over the next 2 weeks I think I will have to start thinking about what is next!
I haven't put any time into my summer socks so they need some love this week!
Other than the top I have done very little. I've been trying to do more walking each day as in 2 weeks myself and a good friend are going to go and finish the walk I nearly completed last year. Last tear I attempted an 87 mile walk across the Devon/Cornwall border for Macmillan cancer. Unfortunately, towards the end I twisted my knee and so couldn't complete it. Anyway, we will be completing it in 2 weeks so there are a few things to get ready for then and I am trying to train a little in between school tasks!
I have also been out in the garden a bit and have harvested out first produce.
I have been cutting sweetpeas for weeks - not from the plants grown from seed this year - some perennial sweetpeas that I've neglected and came back this year with a vengeance!!
I have been replenishing these every other day for weeks ☺️
Anyway, I hope everyone has a great week ☀️
The top looks great and I love the earthy tones and changes of pattern. I am sure it will work out great. Enjoy the holidays when they come, good for you planning on finishing the walk. Liz (Highlandheffalump)
ReplyDeleteOh how pretty the sweetpea blossoms are. I found a potato that had sprouted roots in our pantry so I just plopped it into a deck pot. We will see what it does. So much for my gardening. ;) Wow, the Malabrigo almost looks like a fade. It does make a pretty top.
ReplyDeleteHmm, let me post today, that comment was from MaureenHD.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely garden haul and the flowers look so sweet.
ReplyDeleteI like how the yarn is changing the shades in the pullover. Looks like you have a good harvest going on! Those sweet pea flowers are gorgeous.
