Some Finished Objects

I'm back home now in the cold, rainy Northwest, and am finally organized enough to show off some of my finished objects.  A bit of knitting and spinning has been done amongst housework, exercise, and reclaiming my house from the twenty-something who's in charge when I'm not. My Vellamo socks were finished at the end of March, and they came out pretty well.  I learned a lot from this pattern and will do some things differently (hopefully better) next time.  They are made from two colors of Wollmeise loveliness and feel wonderful. Speaking of Wollmeise loveliness, I have to mention that the laceweight cardigan I showed before is incredibly soft!  The fine gauge merino wool didn't feel especially soft when I was working with it; it was nice but quite thin and stringy, but when this sweater was done and washed, it became super soft.  I look forward to making a shawl out of the  same yarn in the future.  Thanks to Lori's trip to Germany last summer during Claudia&

Just a cloud, or is it?

Lemon Tree, Very Pretty

I didn't know that lemon trees fruit and bloom at the same time.  Very interesting...... I've had posts spinning around in my head like crazy but I haven't written them down.  They're all very entertaining, too!  I'll start with this photo so I can get the song out of my head, then hopefully catch up with a couple more posts for publishing later.
