Much better!

TY

Tangled Yoke has been growing quite fast. (Amazing what being at home sick for almost a week can do! I’m feeling much better now, thankfully. Annette is back at preschool too this week, and things are starting to feel normal again around here. Thanks again for all the get well wishes!) I’ve finished the body up to just before the yoke, and now am working on the first sleeve. The sleeves are worked in the round, so I won’t have to seam that up either. Yay!

And for my macro photo of the day, some wildflowers I found on my walk to the preschool yesterday. I have no idea what these are called, anybody knows? They’re very tiny, probably the size of my finger nails.

Wildflowers

Edited to add: The flowers are called Pink Knotweed, as Taryn said in the comments. Thanks Taryn!

Tea

Thank you so much for the get well wishes in the last post. The germs are still here unfortunately, I can’t wait to kick them out!

Tweedy

Eeek, I’m very behind on my 30 day photo challenge. That virus that’s been going around has kindly visited our home and has taken to going from one family member to another. It’s overstaying its welcome, if you ask me! (Not that it was welcome in the first place!) It’s kind of zapped my photo-taking mojo out of me. I’ll catch up later, I suppose.

In the mean time, lets look at some knitting. Thank goodness for knitting, it’s just about the only thing I feel like doing at the moment.

Tangled Yoke

Been working on Tangled Yoke, which is going quite well. It’s a bit difficult to photograph the whole thing, as it’s quite wide (you knit the body — the back and two fronts — all in one piece from the bottom up, so it’s supposed to be almost seamless in the end). I have just finished the seemingly interminable ribbing, and starting on the miles and miles of stocking stitch ahead. Hehe. But it’s all good. Good tv knitting.

More from the garden

I hope you’re not sick of garden photos from me yet, because I’m quite enjoying this 🙂

Daisy

I can’t take credit for planting the flowers. I live in an apartment building, so the gardener does the planting. One of my neighbours who loves gardening does a great job in the garden too. Me, I don’t have a clue about planting things, unfortunately. I just help water the plants in the garden once a week. I love doing that, though. Some day, I’d love to plant some herbs myself so I don’t have to keep buying from the shop.

Dandelion

And yes, another dandelion. I just think they’re so cool and I can’t let one pass without taking a picture. Annette is becoming quite good at spotting dandelions now 🙂 This one here is not from our garden, we found it on our walk home yesterday.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!
