Confetti sock blooming

By -


Confetti sock is blooming before the peonies this year. This is one of two remaining bushes from the house when we bought it 25 years ago. I put the chair out for trash, and then decided to let it prop the peony bush this spring. Alley gardening I call it. I have to plant some more things for alley art as the season progresses. .......

Thoughts while knitting confetti socks:

I'm going back to my round toe finish for this one...maybe.
These are going to be comfortable to wear.
Why dont' my feet fight wool?
Thank goodness I can wear wool somewhere and enjoy it.
What was I thinking telling my swap pal that I don't want any more sock yarn. ??????
How am I going to keep the sock image posts interesting ?


I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

Isn't it funny what we think about when we're knitting?

LOL! You can always trade your sock yarn for a different kind :-)

I love the alley gardening, and I'm glad you didn't throw the chair away. Had friends once who planted an old toilet full of nastursiums in their front yard!

Love the alley gardening. We have a neighbor who planted a flower "bed". She actually took an old white iron bed, buried the legs of the head board and foot in the ground and planted flowers in the middle. I think it's priceless. I'll have to take a picture and put it on my blog for everyone to see. I also think you do a pretty good job showing off your knitting with oh so many props!

Now if you could just breed a knitting plant think of how rich and famous you'd be.

What a cool idea for a planter. I need a plant that produces yarn in my yard!

The alley art is great and Confetti sock looks good hanging out in the peonies!

No more sock yarn?? I can't believe anyone has ever uttered those words--"No-more-sock-yarn." I can never get enough!

Be sure to post pictures of the blooms and by the way the alley art is perfect for peonies.

Love your alley art idea for the peonies. I wish I had a chair now for mine. I've got one bush in the front yarn and I'll be looking over those yard sales (or road side trash, lol) for next year. And I see you grow your socks in bushes like I do. Yummy.

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
