Squaring up to warm weather!

Warmest April day since 1949. Lovely. Got pergola painted "faded green", and planted loads of new herbs in garden - stevia, samphire, fenugreek, French tarragon, a couple more thymes, pink and white hyssops. Finished green Square Socks. Very interesting shaping, weird off the foot! Plus square cushions, filled with duck feathers. Glad I didn't have to pluck the duck.

Approximately April

Rain, rain, rain, more rain, bit less rain, rain. Garden waterlogged back and front. Got carried away with diamonds for blanket, made a cushion with 28 extras, plus four triangles. Like the way they are fully stretched. Also trying a machine knit cushion in sock yarn leftovers, "thirds" method i.e. make a strip one third of cushion width to size of cushion. Turn 90 degrees, pick up sts and knit sideways. As it needs to be done twice, the first strip is actually double width with a missing stitch in middle, and second part will be done double length with loose row in middle, to define sides.
