hot summer days

We are having lots of hot summer days now

tóó hot 

most people will say !

(a heat wave, for Holland at least)

We sit in the garden only in the morning 

and stay inside once the heating up begins.

Then we come out in the early evening again.

Lots and lots of butterflies are visiting

which are sometimes hard to capture on camera.

Yesterday daughter started with a (whole) fleece 

that she bought at the Alpaca farm some weeks ago

(though this is a sheep, more precisely : an Ouessant

not an alpaca fleece)

Here the in-side is up 

(it was washed some days before)

On the back some needle felt and some coarse gray wool 

that Heike sent me from Berlin.

LOTS and LOTS of rolling was done outside

(when the sun wasn't so hot anymore)

Washing and drying came later

And when daughter isn't felting or spinning ...
she is knitting

(Noro Kureyon Sock and Drops Alpaca)

And me ???

still making more flowers

and connecting them to the sqaures and flowers already there 

...

(45 and counting)

(yeah : post 300 ... a lot of talking !)
