Fruit on the sock tree.


At last I have finished the Jaywalker socks. I really like them, but I have to say that they didn't please me in the making. It is a good pattern, but not simple enough that I can knit mindlessly and read at the same time - which is what I reckon socks are for - for me at any rate. So it will be back to the boring ones, and have the interest in the yarn, for future socks.

Things are really pleasing me in the garden - this peony for instance.

And the Forget-me-nots.

And in somebody else's garden a Tamarisk. This one is for you Vivienne since you said you had not knowingly seen one in flower. I have loved them from before I had any idea what they looked like - just the name does it for me. I also forgot to say how good the Alexanders were looking all along the Norfolk roadside a couple of weeks ago.

Now I've seen your photo, I'm still not entirely convinced that I have ever seen a tamarisk in flower for myself.
