many truths in one post

first truth of the post: i've dropped one size!
this pattern runs big therefore i made it a size smaller.even though  i had to take the pants  apart- after all that topstitching- and take them  in about 2cms. they are still big, it's the style, but not clown pants big.
the linen is very pleasurable to wear. i don not care about the wrinkles at all, i'm wearing a natural fiber.

truth number two: april showers bring may flowers.

  

                                    drosathemum candens                               clematis jackmanii

the clematises are very vigorous this year and the plants in general look lush and healthy. coming up lots of flower posts this week.

trying new things

oh brother! had to bring out some winter wear because it's very cold again  and in some parts of spain it's even snowing. here is only wet and cold.

the sample is this gorgeous linen blandina got me. i read somewhere that one can use fair isle punch cards to make tuck lace and off i went to try it . at a very loose tension the top part is tuck lace and the bottom is slip stitch followed by stockinette and ladders with eyelets.i find the slip stitch lacking definition, but the tuck part could be a doable. another one for the bag of tricks!
