Set free

My Holden shawl has been set free from the pins and wires, so so happy with it.

It has been a beautifully warm and sunny day, long may it last

Knitting, gardening.....busy busy

Life is busy right now, 6 weeks to go to the wedding and I am finally on top of the garden.  Still things to do but happy that all the borders have had some much needed attention.  There are a few gaps that need plugging in the conifer bed.  The plants have either not over wintered well or just given up the ghost.

I think spring is my favourite time in the garden, so much promise and lots of colour.  Here are a few photos that I have taken today.

Here is my finished Holden Shawl, knitted in Sirdar Sunseeker Touch of Linen (discontinued).  I was worried that the yarn wouldn't do the pattern justice, but it has worked well and is lovely and drapey, will be the perfect addition to a summer dress on cool evenings.  One I will make again.

And because they are so lovely......

We are looking forward to some warm weather over the next two days, highs of 21C, great for this time of the year, definitely gardening weather, so I shall be busy
