knitting is my new best friend

after some years of knitting i finally discovered how to roll the fabric and attach the bar so that the fabric doesn't touch the floor＼（＾▽＾）／. as with most of the instructions regarding k machines it is assumed that you know what you're doing and can infer from a skimpy line of instruction ಠ ಠ









knitting a lacy linen yardage to make a summer
 cover up as it is chilly here, even in summer

my collection of japanese shinshi put to use.they work wonderfully as tenter hooks for blocking knits.
using my tools in their full potential, no need to get more stuff.

i need to cut and sew the fabric and then dye it.
an excuse to dye because i'm dying to dye.😄

recouping

from getting fried while i was away. some of the grasses still need to get back in shape, but the japanese painted fern is showing small tendrils. thought it was a goner as it disappeared.
already planning heucheras and hellebores for the fall.hellebores are becoming very popular, they disappear from on line garden centers.unfortunately they are not sold here.
cooler wet  weather is coming to rescue this week.
