on becoming bolder

now this gold linen .cap sleeves that are re hung on the machine for a black and natural linen striped band.front and back are the same .these linen tops-not really sweaters are ideal for cool nights here and easy to knit.

i am practicing piecing everything by machine. it's a tad faster than piecing with  mattress stitch.

slowly climbing the DAK learning curve, but still uncomfortable about the program. in an era where programs are designed/developed to be as intuitive as possible this one has not encountered the term intuitive. ಠ ಠ  (>人<)

as i've given up on weaving with linen knitting satisfies my fondness for this fiber.

it's already june 30th. where did this month go?

the rains and then one sunny day

the rains always bring wonderful clouds on the range; they also bring lower temps. while the rest of spain is frying northern spain is living in comfort.

then you are graced with one glorious sunny day and you really cannot ask for more.

my cherry toms taking the sun .golf ball size mind you. totally organic no pesticides, no fertiliser, just worm  humus.

tom forest. 2 tiny plants that have taken over. eggplants are squeezed in this year don't know if they'll do well.

the ganbaru club

linen top finished. spent days piecing it and still have to tune it. the white is going as it is waste yarn used for holding the stitches. the style is  simple and effective  thanks to the design of  pamela cruse

it is also easy to knit therefore i'll be repeating it with some variations.

finally producing something that is wearable! think it will look good on this number.
