THE MONTH OF RED AND GREEN

I picked this from a 4' plant growing out back--isn't it amazing.  A friend said if I wait a few more weeks, the green seed pods will turn brown and it will be filled with seeds --for friends! lol

This cluster is about 8-10" long!  The flowers are about an inch in diameter--it's quite the flower but I have searched Google and can't find its name!  Feel free to search and get back to me!

I enjoyed a few minutes of coloring with pencil--

a card to add to the stack.  

A Bit of a Rip

 I struggled through more than half of this baby sweater

-learning how to knit a raglan from front to front.

I am ripping it back to the beginning and trying it again because now I think I can do it justice!

It is a good rip out;  I learned a lot and am looking to work through the second one much more easily!

 The spinning went very smoothly and I plied the two bobbins together today!

The interesting part-I ended up with almost exactly the same yardage as the first skein I spun.

The first skein has 330  yards and the second 331 yards!

I will wash it and hang it out to dry today so I can start knitting with it!

(And yes, I am still enjoying a bit of coloring each day;  

it is very relaxing and there has been a need for that!)
