The Right Mix and The Wrong Mix

 The giant Hosta can be observed moving up and out of the ground in a period of a few days.  I love the leaves when they first emerge and have no ugly age spots.   These hosta are so big I'm not even sure they are hosta.  A family of rabbits could live under them. 

You could drink a glass of wine from those unfurled middles.  

My back garden is a Mix of Hosta and rose bushes.

Some summers I'm into growing vegetables and herbs, this summer I just want my roses to be magnificent. 

It is a perfect mix if you ask me. 

 My friend Meg is crocheting this shawl for her daughter's wedding day.   Meg is a knitting phenom.  She wanted to crochet this one and I think it is going to be magnificent.  The middle back section is where the beading happens. 

 Here's her start in a sea ice color way.  It is a perfect pattern/yarn mix.

This would be my convertible mitten experiment.

I hate this yarn. 

I bought it long ago,  thinking it was like watermelon (and would not pool.) 

Since my mitten/fingerless glove trial, this week, 

I've decided not to make the other.

Maybe I'll make a pair in a different yarn. 

The concept was easy enough. 

I did muck up the thumb placement, so for the next one, I'd have to pay closer attention.  

Who wants a watermelon mitten in the winter anyhow?

It was just the wrong mix. 

Here are some of my favorite mixes:

Roasted corn and butter

Blue jeans and a white shirt

Champagne and champagne

Fritos and guacamole

Roses and baby's breath

Sunsets and water
