This was yesterday afternoon;
The sun was shining on these Fatsia buds;
They have grown enormous since I posted a photograph a week or so ago. You can just see my hand holding a leaf out of the way. The first year we had the fatsia we thought it was just a sort of statement foliage plant; when the buds started appearing that autumn we were totally surprised.
An on-going saga...
Then they started doing this...
Here's the knitting again. As I was measuring it, I looked more closely at the colours. They all make my heart sing!
I finished the back this evening. It didn't take long. Now for the fronts.
Glorious colours!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to finish it
DeleteLove the colours in your knitting. Catriona
ReplyDeleteThey really brighten the day. A wise od knitter once remarked that she preferred to use cheerful colours in the darker months.
DeleteYou dont often see a Fatsia flowering!
ReplyDeleteThis one has flowered every year. It amazes us every time
DeleteIs it a cardi? It's certainly cheerful.
ReplyDeleteIt is a cardi, a go on top of anything, go anywhere one!
DeleteWhat an interesting plant Fatsia is. I've never seen any other like it.
ReplyDeleteThere were some huge ones in the gardens of a hospital where we used to visit a relative, but I didn't know they had flowers until we got this one.
DeleteThe wool is delightful and does look as if it is lit by the 🌞. It would fill me with joy. Regards Sue H
ReplyDeleteIt is truly joyful to work with
DeleteThose colours are gorgeous and quite inspiring. I'm considering making a 'top down' all in one jumper. Don't know whether I'll get past the considering stage. though. 😉
ReplyDeleteGo for it! No seams, hooray!
DeleteLove those colours too, did you get them all separately or is it a multicolored yarn, its so beauriful.
