There was a beautiful courtyard at the hospital that we spent a lovely hour exploring.
We didn't recognize this flower but it was so pretty. Anyone recognize it?
I did finish the hat from the One Skein Wonders book. It was simple but fun with the lace edging.
This morning I decided to spend some quiet time spinning up this Wensleydale top for the joy of it.
It is a lustrous long wool that was a good spin in every way. Being in top form (combed) made it a bit slick at first but I caught on .
I have 250 yards of this fingering weight yarn. I do not have anything in particular that I will be doing with it. I wanted to try it and now I have!
The skein is much creamier colored than it looked in the roving but there is still luster to the fiber even after washing! I would call this a good spin.
Tonight as I enjoyed recliner time, I did something very out of character for me; I knit on three different projects! The more I think about it, the more I am learning; pain makes you a stranger even to yourself!
That is a mandavilla vine. Grows a lot in S. FL
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fiber! I am so sorry you are still not feeling well. If it makes you feel any better I've done something miserable to my hip. Ouch....I see a lot of sitting and knitting for me today too.

ReplyDeleteI usually stick to one project at a time, but not this week. Hmmm something in the air?
ReplyDeleteI am working on 2 projects right now. I usually have more, but I think these projects are just too big to add more to the pile. I hope you get some relaxing in with all your busy!
