I'm a lonely little....
G'day all!
The other day I asked you to spot the odd man out. It is a lonely little purple petunia in the middle of the zinneas (and some white flower - stock?):
There are some sharp eyes amongst you!
Here's a little something that I've been working on recently.
Only thing is I prefer it inside out to right way in. I like the way the colours blob up - lots of people hate pooling but I love it.
Plus it is a bit tight around the old ankle, inside out or right way out. The pattern makes a firm fabric, and the yarn is already not exactly stretchy. (Mental note to self - take pics from the toe angle, not the ankle cos my ankles really are not HUGE GINORMOUS thick piano things - I have quite a well turned ankle if I do say so myself. And I do.)
Anyone guess what pattern it is, modified to be toe up with short row heel?
I might make the next one a few stitches wider across the sole - my left foot says the sock is fine, but my right says it is a bit tight.
A couple of you liked the houses and wanted more pics.
This is a white weatherboard Victorian cottage. It is not as grand as the houses I showed you before, but compared to the average hovel of the time, this was (and is) a very nice house indeed.
This row of terrace houses is flanked to the west by a place with a grand frontage (and high hedges, hence the lack of pics of it)
Other people who know a little about architecture could comment better than me. I just like taking the pics and looking at the amazing houses. You don't find houses like these in the area I live in! 1950s weatherboards and blond brick veneers dominate around here.
Finally, cos some of you are starved of plants and greenery and even basic things like sun, here's a shot of St Vincent's gardens, opposite these grand houses. Nice and green.
anon!

Lynne,
ReplyDeleteOne of the things I love about seeing your pictures is the similiarities we share in landscape..off season of course. Lovely to see flowers blooming.
looks like a jaywalker to me! :)
ReplyDeleteI like it inside out, too. :)
thanks for sharing the landscape pictures. Everything here is so grey and brown that it's nice to see some color.
I concur - you're Jaywalking!
ReplyDeleteAll such pretty pics, too. I'm impressed anyone picked out that little petunia!
Hee, I was right about the petunia!
ReplyDeleteI like the sock fabric inside out too, the texture is attractive.
Thanks for posting greenery and pretty house photos too. Very refreshing to look at in this month of very-little-daylight!
