Lucille

Amongst several piles of clothes sorted by size, season, and baby growing/nursing potential, sat my lonely spinning wheel - bobbin 3/4 full, and untouched for over a month.

I've been busy. My days seem to be over as soon as I realise my morning coffee is cold.

To make it up to my neglected yarn, I gave her a glamorous makeover.

A thick and thin single, plied with a commercial metallic thread that adds both sparkle and strength. 

All dressed up with nowhere to go.  

What to knit?

Loathful Lattice

Let me be plain - I almost always find lattice unsightly. I'd hate to offend any lattice lovers, but so it is. This small garden is on the side of my front porch. This homely lattice extends all the way across the front of the porch as well, but is largely shielded by an overgrowth of day lilies. One day, this garden will be bursting forth with well established lavender and herbs, but it will be several years before I can expect much in the way of lattice coverage. 

I'd like to hide it entirely, and what I lack in design skills, I make up for in patience to try a 100 options until it is acceptable.

Please share any design suggestions or Pinterest pins.
