Day 6 progress. Started the lace panel. Those k4togs may be my Waterloo. It took me a couple of tries to get the lace started in the right place, but I finally figured it out and got a couple of rows knitted. #Knitting #ShowMeYourKnits

Day 5 progress. Finished a second skein of yarn. That’s 16 rows of ribbing and 33 rows of stockinette stitch. It was a nice sunny day, cool enough to leave the doors and windows open! Another day like today and I’ll be well into the first lace repeat. 🧶 #Knitting #ShowMeYourKnits

Day 4 progress. Not much done today, just 5-6 rows of stockinette stitch, about a third of what I did yesterday. It turned into a dreary, rainy, nap in the recliner kind of day. 🧶 #Knitting #ShowMeYourKnits

Day 3 progress. Just starting row 14 of 40 rows of stockinette stitch. That’s about 5” total before I start the simple lace inset. 🧶 #ShowMeYourKnits #Knitting

Day 2 progress. I’m at about 2 inches of ribbing. I will do a few inches of stockinette stitch before starting the lace panel inset. I am not a particularly fast knitter since I knit English with my inflammatory arthritic hands, but I get the job done eventually. 🧶 #Knitting #ShowMeYourKnits

I thought I would try to document my progress on this project with one pic a day. The yarn is Euro Baby Sweetness, a DK weight yarn knit on size 6 circular Karbonz needles. It will be a tank with a simple lace panel. Day 1 results are about 1” of 1X1 half twist ribbing. 🧶 #Knitting #ShowMeYourKnits

One of those little garden vignettes I look forward to seeing bloom each summer. 🌱 💐

What’s on my needles? A make it up as I go tank top made from a light fingering cotton linen blend. It has a folded hem, stockinette body, lace yoke, and a lovely neck/armhole edge formed by slipping two wrong side edge stitches and a right side dec/yo. 🧶 #ShowMeYourKnits #Knitting #KnitSky

Apparently, the birds decided I needed some rose campion in my garden. We did not plant these in the garden, they just showed up this year. I did have my gardener move them to more appropriate location, but these are apparently all courtesy of bird shit. 🌱 #Gardening #GardenSky #Zone6A/6B

I don’t mind that the peonies, lupines, and foxgloves are done because it just means the yarrow, day lilies, and daisies are taking off! 🌱 #gardening #gardensky #zone6a #zone6b

Trump and his minions couldn’t even get fair food right! Even this bleeding heart liberal knows if you don’t have funnel cake, corn dogs, and deep fried Oreos, it’s not worth your time. Trump-Backed Tribute to States on the Mall Features Extra Tinges of Red www.nytimes.com/2026/06/27/u...
