a friend of tommy's has shifted down to queenstown - bottom of the south island. a ski town and very beautiful. a lot of LOTR was shot there. this friend calls me mum. he gets socks.
the yarn was really nice to knit and the colourway stunning. i love that they are not paternal.
yesterday we were clearing the asparagus patch - there are some spears poking through which is very exciting but sadly we have to leave them to strengthen the crowns. oh i cannot look at them without reaching for a small sharp knife.
in the back of the patch was a jerusalem artichoke i had planted over the summer - it had snapped in the wind so i thought that was that.
no siree
i have planted five more rhizomes this morning.
you know what they say about artichokes!
and, i added a fresh link to the afghan square pattern that appears to be doing the rounds on pinterest on the post called 'move that bus'
gorgeous socks!
