Catherine Parr and the Bees
As promised, the front of Catherine Parr:
Shouldn't take too long now, with the front and back both done. Sleeves go quickly, not just because, in a drop-shoulder style, they take up less of the garment than even in a set-in style, but also because, since they ARE smaller than the front or the back, they're less tiring; one sees so much progress so quickly -- it's easer to spend a lot of time knitting.
The bees are ok, as far as we can tell without getting into the hive, which we plan to do tomorrow:
They're happy enough, and acting normally. We think there ought to be more of them around, however.
And, because Sam is particularly happy about the iris, I include it here:
And to think a few days ago I was griping about the weather. It's a gorgeous day today, warm and sunny. Got bees. Got flowers. Think I'll take the knitting out on the deck.
****************************
It was nice on the deck for a while, but now it's cooled off. We're in for the day.
But I have a treat for all you crafters: a lovely and tasteful Toilet Paper Jesus, found for you by Fr. Bryce, over at A Saintly Salmagundi. Needs some glitter, though.
