Hmm, well wanting is one thing I suppose, although I am about to turn the heel so I am very close to getting it done. <br />But this weekend was beautiful and I really only managed about an hours worth of knitting all weekend at least up until this point. I plan to go knit after I post this. <br /><br /> Yesterday, we enjoyed some time at the Farmers Market, we bought some mulch for the flower boxes which we put out today. And I bought a nice watermelon. <br /><br />Today the hubby built me a box for cleaning my fleece. I think he did a nice job. I can shake plant material out of the fleece a little easier with this. <br /><br /><a href="http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y245/mstory/?action=view&current=GEDC0545.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y245/mstory/GEDC0545.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y245/mstory/?action=view&current=GEDC0546.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y245/mstory/GEDC0546.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />We built some more flower/vegtable boxes today (I didn't get a picture of those yet.) and checked the progress of everything. The pink climbers in the back has started to bloom here is the first of the season.Sorry if it is a little blurry there was a breeze today. <br /><a href="http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y245/mstory/?action=view&current=GEDC0551.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y245/mstory/GEDC0551.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Here is what it looked like last year. <br /><a href="http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y245/mstory/?action=view&current=IMGP0300.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y245/mstory/IMGP0300.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />The Tiger Lilies are just about ready too.<br /><a href="http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y245/mstory/?action=view&current=GEDC0548.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y245/mstory/GEDC0548.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />In other news I have contacted Ashford regarding my problems with the spinning wheel and I am convinced it is not totally me. As I was able to spin on a different wheel (Kromski). The folks at Ashford have been extremely nice and helpful and are sending me replacement parts for free with advice on how to make certain adjustments. <br />I have nothing but good things to say about their customer service, they have been wonderful and I'm confident that with the new brakeband and springs I will be spinning away in no time. <br /><br />I hope everyone had a great weekend!<br />Happy Knitting!Millyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04887088681552553617noreply@blogger.com
