“Bare earth”. Not “bar”. Duh.

I’m not even sure what to comment about. I love the garden shots. I am an avid gardener, aided significantly by living in an almost ideal gardening climate. I subscribe to the “no bar earth” theory of gardening. I plant all my beds with multiple layers of plants so that there is (obviously) no dirt showing. I have virtually no weeds because there is nowhere for them to grow.

I also love that coleus colored scarf. The yarn and pattern are both gorgeous!

wonderful blocking tips – thank you… there is always more to be learned. The scarf looks lovely both ways.

So you’re spinning too! yay! I did a tiny bit last week, and it felt so wonderful.

Thanks for the tutorial on blocking. I do like the scarf after blocking as it evens out the stitches & there is still enough tecture on it. Love the scarf & it’s colors.

Wow, I realize that this post was all about blocking and gardening, but I’m particularly struck with your spinning! Your singles are so thin and uniform!!! I’m a spinning newbie (obviously!), just learned on a drop spindle, and I’m not sure whether it’s my cup of tea or not. Still, I love the idea of spinning, you know? I think I need to try spinning on a wheel before I make up my mind one way or the other…
