Apropo of nothing much

Its Mid July and summer is in full bloom.  I brought the Lavatera seeds from Calgary and when I moved, chucked them in the back of the frig and sort of forgot about them.  This past spring, before the accident, I hauled them out and along with the tomato seeds, put them in peat pots in the sunroom.  This is the reward.  Pink seems to have dominated here, but the white came through.  I'll gather the seeds when it is time.  They put on quite a show don't they.
The small pink flowers are Oxalis, or as we say in our family "Grandma Landry's clover"  Most of us have a plant that we baby and nurture and split up and repot and then share. 
I strung lights over the door in the spring and this moth fell in love with them.  He hung around for days clinging to the screen.

I  might have mentioned that after the accident - creativity flew south and knitting and crochet were complete non starters.  And that remained the case until last week when I decided to dig into my yarn stash and reacquaint myself with my supplies.   Digging through stuff I came on a square that I had started a few years ago when I was still hip deep running Patricia's Yarn Cabin on Vancouver Island.  I  read an article showcasing Valentina Devine's"Creative knitting technique" and the bottom square is the result.  The pile of yarn at the top was tucked into the bag with the square - Obviously I had planned to continue.  Well...life happens doesn't it.  

 In any case, this period of my life now - recouperating and healing-, seem like the absolute right time to dig back into this project so here I am.

 The deal is this is garter stitch - I can handle that- garter stitch for short straight rows and then casting off, turning the piece and picking up stitches and not caring that the ends are there.  The ends get to be the embellishment afterward and you an do anything you want with them  I chose to crochet the ends and then tack them down randomly.  Some of the ends will reach over into the next square when they are joined.   I have no idea at the moment what this is going to turn out to be -  a throw?  A wall hanging?  I think it is enough right now that I'm doing it and it is getting the juices going again.
And that's it for now.
Have a good week.
