Variations on a colourful theme

Img_11351. A clump of Iris I bought on clearance at the grocery store a few years back. This year there were at least five dozen blossoms.

2. My favourite Gingher embroidery scissors in the Leah colourway.

3. My current purse knitting project, a Fibertrends Landscape scarf in Koigu KPPM P527.

4. No photo, but enroute is a skein of the limited run of Cherry Tree Hill Possum Lace in the Peacock colourway from the Yarn and Fiber Company. Check them out – reasonable prices and free shipping to the US and Canada with no minimum purchase, and so far, good customer service.

    I like the way you pulled these 3 pictures together and made a theme. Nice job.

    Lovely colors. I’ve been eyeballing those pretty Gingher scissors for years, but just haven’t made the leap yet. By the way, I emailed you but haven’t heard back so maybe you didn’t get it. I had mentioned coming up there this weekend, but we heard that the Peach Arch was going to be closed for part of the weekend, plus traffic down to one lane on the truck crossing, so we decided not to risk it. Contact me, though and maybe we can make arrangements for another time.

    I’ve started and ripped out the Landscape scarf. My picots didn’t work out at all, they are so fussy to make, and I got so confused with the stitch pattern. I don’t know why. Should have been an easy one. I’m looking forward to see yours!

    I LOVE purple. Thanks for the collage. Enjoy the new wheels – we’re figuring out what to do about our two cars right now – I know the nervousness of signing those types of papers.

    Purple and green make such nice partners! Love the Runto – you are sportin’ it now! I’m getting my new baby SUV this weekend, not as dashing as the Runt, so maybe your son could send the flame-drenched license plate holder to me so I can pimp my new ride!

    You know what, Li? Those are my favorite pictures of the day.
    I had a pretty little pair of gingher scissors with rose floral handles, which were confiscated at an airport a few years ago. I have longed for them ever since. I’ve not seen the purple ones around.

    Hi Li: Nice car. Enjoy. Great photos. I have been reading up a storm and am just about the read that book you like, Eat, Love Pray or something. It is downstairs.
