INSIDE AND OUTSIDE WORK

Isn't the portulaca pretty?!  It is hanging by the birdfeeders out front-a nice perk of color to start the day!
After watering all the flowers out front and out back, I cooled off with some inside work-piecing the rest of the churn dashes and sashings!  Nice to have it completed as a top.
I made a hat from the sweater I made in the winter-it is Premier Basix Mosaic which is a much heavierr worsted weight than usual.  The Sentro Machine like it very well!
And since I am  out of sock yarn, I decided I needed to dye some of the Bare Hawthorne I had on hand.  I wanted some 'blue skies and clouds' yarn and I think I achieved it--
now to see how it knits up!
I also assembled one side to the tote of cotton yarn.  It is not the most fun to crochet but I want to use it so I need to keep at it!  I have the first one of the next 24 I need for the other side!
A whole bunch of the African Irises in bloom--these are in the pool area-nice to see the flowers blooming all around me
 while I enjoy a good float!

  1. You've got a lot done! I've got some bare yarn here too that I keep saying that I am going to dye and I never do. I love that tote. Granny squares are all the rage again. Have you seen the socks made out of little tiny ones? So cute.

  2. Wow! All in one day? You make me feel really lazy. I like the tote a lot but can imagine how time consuming all of the color changes are.

  3. Oh, I like the idea of the portulaca in a hanging pot! I popped a few in the gardens this year to fill some holes
