summertime and the livin' is easy

no cotton, growing that is, but on the pointy sticks!

summer knitting is in full swing - i've got my second pair of cotton/lycra socks more than half way done - one more pair to go (personal challenge)! on other needles i have a cropped cardigan top in cotton/tencel that feels absolutely dreamy! i am really enjoying fondling it each and every
time i pick it up! i've also started another lace shawl.

the greatest news of all is that i have swatched each and everyone of these yarns (plus several others!) to check gauge! really! i know it is hard to believe but, indeed, i really have been knitting swatches! it's a miracle, lord!!

i have managed to put down the pointy sticks long enough to get out in the garden where june
has been busting out all over!! here are a couple of pictures to put you in the mood!

clematis 'venosa violacea'

hemerocallis
rosa 'lyda'

sooooo inviting that i'm headin' out! over and out!
