I haven't made much progress with the Yalinka Shawl; I don't think I like it much - but I persevere as I might have been affected by the dodgy yarn, rather than just the pattern itself. Plus, I don't think I could bear to rip it back again. Plus, Auntie Fashion is no longer able to go to the function for which she wished to wear it: she is home again, extremely tired and in a wheelchair.
So today let's look at sunny photos of my roses:
 |
| Absent Friends, floribunda |
 | ||||
| Sweet Dreams, scented patio rose |
 |
| wish I hadn't lost the label - a scented patio rose |
 | ||||||||||
| I think this is Sweet Magic, scented patio rose |
This last rose is the one that suffered most from the move - but she is making a determined effort at a comeback.
And I did start a new knitting project, since I've completed the MKAL, and don't want to work on Yalinka. I wanted something simple, quick, straightforward, and using much thicker yarn than laceweight. So here is the beginning of the Ghislaine Gloves in the Artesano Hummingbird 4ply that looked so ugly as a shawl:
Yes, I know, it doesn't actually tick any of the required boxes; I may have to go rummage in the stash storage to find some of the chunky yarn my sister gave me. How long do we give it before you count me lost and send in a rescue party ?
Meanwhile, over at Tami's Amis .....
