Clivia


Okay, I know this isn't a knitting picture, but I did get the plant from my friend, MaryJo, who works at the Leonardtown shop. Isn't it beautiful - and it seems to thrive on my benign neglect. I took MaryJo's advice and poured whatever was left of whatever I was drinking in the pot. This particular Clivia has a fairly steady diet of iced tea, iced coffe, and the ocaisional sugar-free soda. Seems to like whatever it gets, because it rewards me with a regular clump of amazing orange blossoms that last for weeks and weeks. It's a beautiful plant even when it's not in bloom.

Fusion mid-fuse

I've since finished the back of my Fusion, but here it is half way. The sparkly bits in the Berroco Sox Metallic don't show up very well in this photo, but it's a fun bit of glitz in real life.

I've started the right front, and was at the point today where I needed to decide whether or not to add the pockets. Linda's pocket looked so nice, I went for it. Must make note to self to not actually put anything in said pockets, though. They're just for looks.
