Esther and Daphne’s Pluviae Vest is complete!
And it’s a good fit! I expect I’ll be pulling it into service right away. The colors are more true in this try-on photo.
I really love how the colors work together, and the weight of the doubleknit button band. Despite the fiddly-ness of intarsia in general, and all the ends, I did enjoy the process on this project. And the end results was definitely worth the time and trouble.
Other good things that I’m trying to focus on- beautiful weather this weekend giving me the opportunity to do some garden work- yesterday organizing and cleaning in the hoophouse-
which reminds me- I got some exciting new seed starting equipment the other day! Check out these lovely trays from Bootstrap Farmer!
They are flashy- but don’t let the pretty colors fool you- they are really thick and sturdy. Will hopefully hold up to a lot of use.
Today I tamed the raspberries. These original plants, no idea what variety (came with the house- so over 20 years old) have been so productive for us. It always feels good to get them tidied up and ready for another season.
And here are a couple of sheep in the sunshine photos for good measure. 🙂
Because sheep in the sunshine make everything a little bit better.
Take care folks-
The vest is beautiful- congratulations! I bet it feels good working in the hoop house and garden again.
