I haven't posted a lot of knitting on here in the last few years. Not much to say about it but I still knit. I knit because I love to create. I knit because I love sweaters. I knit because I grew up with a mom who is artistic beyond the acknowledgement she receives, and it's in my blood to do something creative. I knit because I love the good things God grows, like sheep and wool and muskox and cotton. I knit because I love colors. I knit because my boys wear what I knit. I knit because I like the rhythm. I knit because it has a beginning and an end, and they are achievable. I knit because when my hands are busy, my mouth slows down, and it gives my brain a chance to make better decisions. I knit because I'm really, really good at it, and it's one of the few things that others acknowledge, and we all need that. I knit because I love to knit. I'm working on a colorful shawl in alpaca.

gorgeous peonies Karen- mine are not close to blooming- I am not a very good gardener- I think they need more TLC than what I give them.
ReplyDeleteHappy Flag Day.
I do stop to see you regularly just haven't had much time to make a comment. Hope all is well with you and yours.
Regards,
Anna
I did know it was flag day!
ReplyDeleteGreat peonies!
Yes, I knew and I am wearing my red, white and blue scrubs tonight!
ReplyDeleteYour peony is gorgeous! Hope there are many more blooms to come.
Beautiful pictures Karen -- and flowers!!!
ReplyDeleteI've been away for a few days, and you've been busy posting, Karen! More great photos, and thanks for the Flag Day reminder - I didn't know! On your peonies - do you know that if you keep them planted in the ground - in a pot - and bring them in over the winter they will bloom better? They absolutely don't like to be repotted and if they are it can take up to 2 years for them to bloom, so I learned from the local master gardeners this trick - and it works!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
The peony is beautiful! I din't know it was flag day; we missed it!
