First Harvest and a New Pillow

I picked the first two peppers this morning, they will go into tonight's dinner.

Over the weekend I finished a new pillow case, the pattern is called 'A Momentary Eclipse' and can be found here. I used Stylecraft Special DK yarn that I had left from other projects, I like both the pattern and the color combination.

Around the Garden

Things are looking good so far.

New Socks

I love knitting socks, almost instant gratification.

Roses

I am glad I got some pictures before the heavy rains of the past few days wiped them all out.

Another small shawl

As you can probably tell by now, I really like that yarn. And some projects just fly off the needles in no time at all, while others linger and hang on and take ages to finish. I don't know why. This is the 'Navarre Shawl' and it was finished in a jiffy.

Some recent finishes

A Year of Blankets - #5

This one is for the donation box.

Sunday Morning

Ah, morning, my favorite time of day. All is fresh and full of promise and I must say, my veggie plants are looking smashing this year (so far), despite heavy rain and wind in the past few days. Sadly, there will not be any sunflowers, some critter dug up the seeds and ate them. And my guess is, the poppies will not come up either since they were in the same bed.

Roses

Better late than never

I planted a 'Ratatouille Garden' this weekend. All the ingredients (tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, zucchini) plus a few herbs. I hope this year will be more successful than the last time we planted something and that no critters will be digging in the two beds.

A Year of Blankets - #4

This one is called 'Namaqualand Blanket', designed by Dedri Uys and the free pattern can be found here. This is such a happy blanket, I love it.

New Socks

So far I am doing well with making one pair per month.
