KnittyBug

I’ve been knitting Butterfly for a few days now and finally I have five inches done. It’s just boring rounds of stockinet so no progress pics. I think the fun will start when it has to be put together…and I’m not being sarcastic either. It a different construction plan and I’m actually looking forward to it. :)

I also decided that I would just knit the stap for Brea and if a handle becomes available in the future I can always replace it. I think I might have decided on the button too.

Now here are the button choices.

I think I really like this one. What do you think?




I’m going to try to finish up Brea and the cardi before this weekend. Not really going to give myself a deadline but I just need to finish them up.

I also want to share…of course…another bloom that has a little story behind it.



Sometimes when you resue something it might return the favor. This is a day lily that Peanut and I rescued. Peanut had picked a plant to add to our garden and then as we were walking past this sorry looking grouping of plants I couldn’t help but pick this one up. It was very dry and wilting and looked like it was on the brink of death and then Peanut said “aw Mommy this one too”. So we brought it home, planted it, and in a week it bloomed. I was very surprised because I thought it would just burn and I would have to cut it down and maybe just maybe next year it would come back. But nope it decided to say thank you with a bloom this year. I think I might go back and see if I can rescue a few more. ;)
