Busy


Lots of knitting done this weekend. I'm good with deadlines. :-)

Ready to pop off that provisional edge and pick up those live stitches.



It just unzips! Like Magic!! Bolder knitters might just rip that bad boy out of there and pick up all those "living dangerously" loose stitches.

I take a more measured approach: 1x1. No worries.



All picked up and ready to knit those legs.



Legs are done and he's mostly stuffed. Casting on the arms tonight.

Somehow reminiscent of Venus of Willendorf.


Spent some quality time planting the garden. So much potential. A lot of things still in flats. "Hardening" on the deck before transplanting.

The foreground is a stone sculpture by nuttnhubby. He's also responsible for the balanced boulders. Yes - they are safely up there.


And the herb garden. Small boy included in both photos to
(1) illustrate scale and
(2) illustrate cuteness of Z
who, btw, went to daycare in UNDERWEAR today! My joy has no limit.

Your garden is VAST!! I am so jealous. When I grow up, I'm going to have a huge one, with a cutting garden so I can bring armfuls of flowers into my house.

Now I just need a stately home and several acres...

Oooo, underwear! We bought a pack for D but he cried when we put them on him. Not a good sign.

Love your backyard! The sculpture is amazing!

Ok now that I see it in pics I know what you mean about why the provisional would work better. Your little bear is so cute!

Love your garden also, it makes me want to head outside and loll about in the sun!

Congrats on the potty training! Very cool.

Congrats also on the provisional cast on - still haven't attempted it myself.
