Intruders

Someone got into my garden the other night and managed to break off the top of the fence while climbing over. There were also some plants trampelled down.

I began to think that they would stay green for ever.

Knitting

Here are some completed projects which will be given to charity.
First a couple of Elizabeth Zimmermann February baby jackets, the pink one still awaiting buttons. I also used a different lace pattern for this one, slightly less open.

Then two linen stitch scarves using up scraps of DK yarn.
